Aneng AN8008 multimeter

Aneng AN8008 multimeter - 9999 counts.
 Differences from AN8009:
  • no NCV (Non-Contact Voltage detection)
  • no temperature measurement
  • square wave generator output (not present in AN8009)


Bottom part looks like rubber holster, but it is actually single piece of plastic.


ICL8069 as reference voltage source.

24C02 - most likely for calibration storage.
PCB markings: ZT109 V0.4 170213 => http://zotektools.com/products-2/zt109/
Range switch is not the best I've seen.
Buzzer is latching and reasonably quick, but personally I would prefer "analog" one.
My other complaint would be rather poor display visibility when looking from angles above it (from below it is fine).
Note: auto power off can be disabled by holding SEL/HOLD button while powering on. Multimeter would still beep after each 15 minutes or so as when auto power off normally would be about to trigger.

  • 1 VAC is 5% down at 2.2kHz (RMS will not work at the frequency)
  • At 1Vrms input frequency range is from 1Hz to 3MHz
  • Input impedance is 10Mohm on DC and AC
  • mV range is high input impedance for DC up to about 2V then it drops to 2kOhm, mvAC is similar, except it is capped with a 10Mohm resistor
  • Frequency input needs about 600mVrms to work at 1kHz.
  • Frequency counter and duty cycle works without zero crossing in Hz range.
  • Duty cycle works from 2% to above 99% at 100kHz with 2Vpp (1Vpp do not work), precision is within 0.7 (About 0.6 too low).
  • Hz input impedance is 10Mohm up to about 12V where it is clamped after the PTC
  • 10A range is badly calibrated at high current
  • 10A range will change some percent at 5-10A current due to heating
  • 10A range will give an audible alarm when current is above 10A (uA will not)
  • Ohm needs about 2.5s to measure 100ohm
  • Ohm voltage is 1.0V open and 0.42mA shorted (same as continuity)
  • Continuity is fast (About 20ms); note: it actually seems slow to me and I would prefer continuity test from cheaper meters
  • Continuity beeps when resistance is below 50ohm.
  • Diode voltage is 3.2V with display of up to 3.000V with 0.2mA, maximum current is 1.8mA shorted
  • 70000uF takes about 8 seconds to measure.
