Inrush Current Clamp Multimeter BT-570N

HI, I am working in the aviation field and was shopping around for an AC/DC meter. Comparing local hardware stores and other vendors. After some research I found that this BTMETER BT-570C-APP was the best deal I could find in a short time. The box arrived and everything was there as advertised. I really liked the design of the temp probe with not just a thermo-couple at the end, but a nice steel rod. The meter felt solid and could probably take some beating. It came with short but to the point instructions with lots of specifications listed. Bootup time of the screen was quick and all the functions are easy to use. What really blew my mind was the BLUETOOTH function. As per instruction I downloaded the app and without any problems I could see the displayed data on my phone, far away. On top of that you get analog, graph and table data which can be stored, sent and printed. Not very fancy graphics, but it does the job. That is quite impressive for such a inexpensive tool. Didn't even check what others charge for that capability. Very impressive. Some little things could be improved upon. The selector dial has are triangle on a red background. Would be nice if that would be more highlighted (white or black pointer). It is a bit hard to see in low light conditions. On the same token, I would like to have a back-lit screen. Time will tell how it will hold up to the daily abuse, but I think this is a great tool for everyone in the electronic field. Hope this helps...

Was looking for a recording device to determine power usage for our well. Since it is 240V, I couldn't just plug in a Killawatt device. This BTMeter just clamped on to one leg going to the well pump and showed amps drawn when it ran. Installed the app on an iPhone and it prompted me to enable bluetooth. The app then connected with the BTMeter automatically and the app was showing the measurement on the meter. I pressed start and ran a load of laundry. Then clicked save and selected to save in excel format. Then I connected to iPhone to my PC and used iTunes to get the files. Then I opened the CSV file as a spreadsheet and could see all the measurements which allowed me to see how often the pump kicked on, how long it ran each time, and the amperage drawn. This allowed me to calculate the KVA used by pump which is usually higher than the KW usage, but can be used as a conservative estimate of cost. Likes: * worked out of the box * app easy to set up and use for measurements (ran for 1-1/2 hour at 120 measurements/second) * was able to extract the CSV file into a spreadsheet and calculate the totals in there. Cautions: * the iOS app seems to have a bug that it will not show the data collected or graph the data, but the data was still recorded to CSV file. * the process of getting the data file off the iPhone and onto the computer takes a bunch of steps. Would be nicer to be able to just share the file to an email. * positioning of current clamp can be touchy and sometimes had to reposition to read zero when pump was off.

The device seems to work well monitoring and recording AC current. The problem is when I pressed save on the data screen I get a message that it is saving the data. I don't know where it saved on the iPhone or iPad. I tried to get help from the manufacturer. The help they sent me was to basically read the help screen off the device and type it into the response. I still don't know where it saves the data or how to find it. The device would be much more useful to me if I could find for the date is is stored so I can credit often save it. As a side note, much of the information on the help screen is displayed from a Chinese PC using kanji. This is no help in the USA

its realy convenient being able to adjust voltage from another room wile monitoring using the app the voltage at its end, i used to have to go back and forth from room to room checking the voltage then adjusting then checking and so on, dont have to stay in same room monitoring it , monitor from anywhere, also app logs and graphs, very convenient, i didn't have any issues installing on a android phone, installed "Intelligent Clamp Meter" installs one button normal no questions asked, very easy to install, though strangely enough it would not connect at first, then i gave up after trying several times ready to return item, i put it on table to get the box to return it, then the multimeter feel on wood floor wile i was in other room , i went to see if it still worked and low and behold after that it connected to Bluetooth automatically,now i did change battery just before that from the battery it comes with to a much better battery, was it the fall or the battery, dont care, i haven't had an issue since and i use it daily. its fast don't have to wait, it also meters fast no delays and adjustable , also back light on lcd stays on till you turn it off, at this price point being able to monitor voltages and or amps from a far, lcd back light stays on, its fast and logs and graphs, logs and graphs are great for determining voltage dips, monitoring a charge controller and so much more , not one negative from me for this item and wouldn't trade it for anything in same price point, just what i was looking for, makes my job so much easier, note ; its big, build quality very good, no wire/cable to big for clamp, nice case, may opt to put a white dot on dial if working in dark places

A lot of money for a device that only makes beeping sounds and flashes its LED screen, while what you actually ordered was a multimeter. Looks impressive, but does nothing. Nice for the Christmas tree, but not for your toolbox. Useless. That’s why I returned it. The little carrying case that comes with it is very handy, and would go well with a multimeter that actually works. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case here.

Habe das Teil zurückgeschickt. Man kann sich aussuchen was für einen "gemessenen" Wert man möchte. Angezeigt wurden sogar negative! Ströme. Für mich unbrauchbar

Bluetoothで飛ばせるので、数値が見にくい場所などでもiPhoneではっきりと確認出来るので大変便利で気に入りました。

Really nice bluetooth AC DC Clamp Multimeter. It helps a lot with phone connected with it.

good
