Will this meter read through insulation?

Yes it does. You have to separate the wires though. Only one wire through the jaws. There are usually 3 wires in typical home wiring to an outlet or light fixture...hot, neutral and ground...wrapped in a sheath. The ground should have no power through it...if it does, you have a problem.

The meter came with stripped wire ends. This Meter can be installed after a 30' wire source. You could connect 2 gauge wire by soldering and covering with heat shrink tubing or electrical tape. The meter is used for low voltage 12-20 volts DC and is used to monitor solar charging and other low voltage DC use. Mine worked well.

Not really. It only checks temperatures of surfaces; which it does very well.

You will need to add a shunt for the amperage, but it should work. I would recommend encapsulating the back of the meter with clear epoxy to prevent damage from vibration.

As far as I can tell, it will measure the surface, not the air. That seems to work OK with sheet metal ducts in the house. I haven't tried it in the car.

I have not had any problems with the meter, I am not sure what you are wanting to check the frequency of, but I use it on HVAC equipment and check frequency once in a while and it works for checking that.

Yes. Im a retired Elec. Contractor and got this meter for my son who is getting into the appliance repair business and knew he would need that function for troubleshooting appliances. So I researched it well. See link: http://www.testequipmentdepot.com/fieldpiece/stick-meters/hs33.htm

Probably...the difficulty is going to be getting the sensor to be able to read something that is not static....but, will give you a general idea of the temperature, I think.

It will work wherever there is moisture. It does need to be below the surface to get an accurate reading,

It does in F for sure. It may read temp in C but I have never needed it to. The best multimeter I have ever owned.

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.

Absolutely not. Do not remove the insulation. Very unsafe to do so. The instrument is designed to work by detecting current passing through the wires through any type of insulation.

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.

I have used this outside this winter to check various heaters we use here on the farm. But I assured that the meter, the electrical connections, and myself stayed dry.

I doubt it. The wavelength of the sensor is 8-14 microns and plexiglass has very low transmittance beyond about 3 microns (according to this spec sheet http://www.plexiglas.com/export/sites/plexiglas/.content/medias/downloads/sheet-docs/plexiglas-general-information-and-physical-properties.pdf). Whether or not the material your dryer door is made of is the same is another matter. If the transmittance is close to zero then you will essentially be measuring the temperature of the outside of the door.

I would have no problem with this meter doing that. I use it all the time to check lighting ratios. Just hold down the trigger and read away. You'll have to do the math old school but it'll work.

Don,t see why not, temp is temp. Inside the probe is a thermpcouple, that sendstiny amounts of electricity to the meter which is read in degs. But keep it feom gettingwet where the wire comes out of the probe.
