Hey this is Brian with the HVAC school podcasts and HVC our school comm. I just want to show you quickly how you connect your 770 3, your test of 770 3 with the smart probes app. This is a feature in the smart probes app, so you can connect the 770 3 + and you can trend data or look at the the tableview and see the readings over time. So here's how you do it.

You actually hold down the Bluetooth button here, which is the same as the backlight button. You hold down the Bluetooth button and then you rotate over till your and the any of the readings. But in this case amperage and then you let go of it and then it will start to connect and that eventually, once it makes connection and it will show up on the display there - we go we're connected and so currently it's on amperage. So I'm going to measure the capacitance on this capacitor here and so we're gon na put it into the ohms and capacitor scale and it will read the micro farad seven-and-a-half micro, farad capacitors.

There you go so that's good, for you know trending amperage! Over time you can read anything with it that you can measure with the meter. You can now measure with these smart probes app it's a nice little feature, especially if you're wanting to tracks a voltage drop over time or amperage trending amperages, it's a nice little nice little thing to have.

    This device does not work well less than 1 A cannot measure

    A bad device does not measure less than 200 watt, so there is no need to advertise it Are you in Ottawa ?

    Any tips on how to get the 770-3 to read low amp draws? Whenever I try and read an outdoor fan amp draw with the 770-3 I always get .6 amps. It doesn’t read anything below 2 amps it seems. Anyone else have this issue?
