Purchased this meter, tested it with my multimeter, it is .3v less than multimeter can it be calibrated?

No, I put in my hybrid car to keep track of the 12 volt battery and it works fine.

Honestly I'm not to sure. Possibly. I'm not that good with Chinese circuitry. But my best advice is that if your the only one that looks at, if you know how much it's off by... Just factor that in. I knew it was gonna be a little off anyway. Hope I helped you. Good luck

Yes that's the neat part of this device there's a tiny gold screw you can either adjust to go up or down in voltage just hook it up to a multimeter and set it to the voltage you want.

I don't think you can calibrate it. I haven't seen anything on the device or the app that lets you do it. Myself and 3 other people I know use it on a regular basis and have never had this issue. You might have a defective unit.

I did not calibrate it except to test against another thermometer. It was right on. No adjusting is possible to the reading.

what are you measuring? Are you measuring batteries? If so, then it's pretty normal to have a higher reading except the 3.7V one.

Less than my clamp-on ammeter would respond to. I'd have to disassemble the circuit and put a series meter in the circuit to find it for certain. If you call the manufacturer they probably could tell you. They do have a web site. Just a guess but I would think it wouldn't be more than about 20 mA at 120VAC.

Hi Zitch I just look up the operating instructions on line and it does not indicate that you can calibrate this gauge. I have checked mine against a few manual gauges and it was very accurate. Hope this helps. Dave.

get some calibration solution and then dip the meter in it, hit the calibrate button then use it after it says saved

I didn't calibrate mine. I haven't compared it with other thermometers, but it seems to be working just fine.

I would be lying to you if I said I knew. I'm not even sure what you're asking. I bought this multimeter just for one purpose and nothing else. Sorry, I wasn't much help.

Not even sure what a kind of meter that is. Sorry. I will say you will be better off buying one of the better ( Higher priced) units. You can hook the sensors right on the wires inside the circuit box in the house. This one is cheap junk with no support and are not even sold by B&D; anymore.

This meter is designed for appliance service technicians, and is not a laboratory instrument. In practice you will see two places past the decimal when working with 12 volt systems and one place past the decimal when working with 120 volt systems. (It is a 4 digit display.) According to the manual 400mV range has 0.1mV resolution (0.5% + 4 digits) That only works if you are measuring something below 400mV, otherwise you get an out of range error.

No, it cannot. In order to use the probes for a current measurement a shunt would be provided across the black and red terminals which would make the voltmeter useless. If your looking for a clamp-probe type meter that will also perform inline current measurements, look for a meter that has three probe terminals. The third terminal is used with a built-in shunt thus allowing current measurements using the supplied probes. Hope this helps.

I doubt there's anything wrong with your meter. All analog meters I've known are zeroed with the set screw located at the center of the movement. Many meters I've know have been able to be adjusted over a large span. Try it ... ideally, the meter's zero should be approximately in the center of the screw's range. If one side of the zero is much less than the other then, yes, you may want to exchange it.

You have to calibrate it. It was beyond me. But i had a friend who'd done well in chemistry. He was unsuccessful in getting a reading that made sense, but I blame that more on him, than the reader. I would look for a pre-calibrated meter for someone with limited tech skills. i needed it to test PH in pond water. I have several mud ponds. The PH is a little different in each of them.

Yes I suggest you try a side by side test to make sure. You can contact their website with questions. I believe they make a meter also.

I don't believe the machine can be calibrated, at least I haven't noticed an option. Also the readings are not always consistent if you take a few back to back. Have others noticed this?
