Hallo Vitor,
thank you for the detailed description and for sending the ESR kit so quickly.  The kit arrived today -
I have not yet checked every component, nor started to solder - will start next week.
You asked for the link where I saw and found the ESR meter - voila: http://jvgavila.com/8566a_43.jpg
I came accross this well described repair of an HP 8566B Spectrum analyser. When my 8566B started error messages, I remembered the article - and amazingly - my analyser suffered from the same fault - a broken 10uF capacitor.  So ths time I replaced it without any further search - but the next time I may have to locate a fault, it may be more difficult to find -  So I think your meter is essential. Thanks again for offering such a useful kit Have a nice weekend - 73, Karl Barth, F5VAE  FR PS: your English and your instructions are excellent - .....

The meter arrived today, A great device, thank you! Regards  Risto Mäkinen  FI

Hello Vitor,  I received the ESR meter some days ago and it is working well, as far as I can judge. It clearly distinguishes between a "blown" cap and a ordinary one. Thank You for the decent transaction.
Kind regards,  Krzysztof Terlecki DE

Dear Vitor,  The meter arrived this morning. Many thanks for the fast and friendly delivery.
Have a nice day!   Seppo Nurmi  FI

Today is Tuesday 20 January 10.00 and there was the postman calling my front door Special Delivery from Portugal. Indeed the ESR tester. Package & Packaging is OK and all the accessories are there, I installed a battery and surely one has to take care NOT to press out the Red LED window......Performing the QC Incoming Inspection learned me that the tester works as advertised, I like to comment on the Workmanship....EXCELLENT all those tiny little stress relievers, PC board markings and lay-out. So I know the system is working and I'll invite my friends to place more orders....Bram Stolk, aka Mr. HAWK Sr SeniorBusiness Development Manager -- Fokker Defense Marketing -- the Netherlands

"Vitor, The ESR tester arrived promptly just as you promised. It is impressive and seems to work very well, and the price is well below competitive products. I have tested about 100 electrolytic capacitors with it and surprisingly only found two that were outside an acceptable range. BUT, I probably wouldn't have found them at all without your device! Kudos! --Bill Blue, USA"

I just received the meter today, everything seems to be in order! Thanks! Regards, Kim Johan Andersson – Denmark

Vitor, Esta mañana 4 de noviembre a las 10:00 llega el medidor en buenas condiciones, aunque el paquete esta un poquito afectado (foto). Gracias atentamente Egied – Belgie

Ok, thank you very much for your fast reply to my questions. I like the meter and it works very good.
ESR in capacitors was something I wasn't able to measure until now. I also find very useful the low ohm measuring capability. I use a Sencore LC53, a hand held cap meter, an old analog ICE 680R which I bough new in the early 70's and a couple of other DMM (fluke 189..), but no direct ESR capabilities until now with the new EVB. Thank you and good luck with the sales. JUAN CARLOS – SPAIN

Hi Vitor, The meter arrived a few days ago and seems to be working fine. Thanks for the prompt delivery,Andrew – Australia

Hi Vitor,Meter arrived safely today, not had a chance to play with it yet. Thanks. Regards Noel – UK

I tryed inmedelity the meter and I am very happy with it . To automaticly discharge the capacitors I have an idea .
With a standard and a special test probe with a push button in it , simular as used by a scope , when you start measuring bolt probes are shorted by the 100R resistor and after a few seconds , you push the button on the probe and start realy measuring the capacitors . Regards Wim - the Netherlands

Hi Vitor, Received the meter and very pleased. Just for information though I had to push the sleeving down on the switch as it was a little too sensitive. I have taken the meter in to my employer and highly recommended your product. Many thanks again for such excellent service. Marc. UK

I has arrived me and to tester ESR, all perfect Thanks Domingo Alb –Spain

Vitor, The meter arrived today in perfect condition. Nice piece of work! It will get a lot of use in my shop. Thank you for making it available. Best regards, John Rudson – Canada

Hello Vitor, I already received your ESR-meter last friday. It is a very good meter and I think a colleague of mine will order one more for him within some times :-) I checked with some capacitors : I salvaged 2 caps from my garbage bin that I changed from a previous repair because they were "bad" and I found that they both had an ESR of 10 ohms ! I checked with some tantalums but these are not so good for ESR, except some old (more than 20 years) "metal tantalum" that are still very good (#10 milli-ohms). We also checked with a professional "inductance/capacitance meter" we have in our office : it has 3 digits precision (probably also more than 3 digits for the price in euros !) and the values from both meters are the same (+/- 1 digit).

Hello Vitor, The ESR meter I ordered has arrived. Thanks for the quick service. John Myers - Alliance, OH USA

Hi Vitor: I received the meter in good condition yesterday. It has already proven very useful in that I was able to to find 2 bad electrolytic capacitors in power supply the first time I used it. Interestingly enough, the caps had previously tested ok with a regular cap meter, but showed high ESR readings with the EVB meter. Sure enough, the 2 bad caps were pulling the power supply regulators down! I replaced them, and the power supply is good now. Thanks again for a great meter. (P.S.- how about offering a nice protective case for the meter?) Best regards, Ron

Hello Vitor, The meter arrived today and I just tried it out. It looks like all is working fine and I will definitively try to use it for repairs. (I hope to repair a few switched power supplies that have problems) Thanks for sending this so fast! Kind regards, Ernst Elderenbosch - The Netherlands

Dear Vitor! The meter just arrived. And it works just fine. Thank you very much for the speed and the very fine meter indeed. Also I think the price is very reasonable. Larry USA

Hello Vitor, My EVB Meter has arrived today fine, super item. Can you send me some sort of receipt now please, so that I can get the money back from my boss? Many Thanks Alan Cope. UK

Hi Vitor - received the chip yesterday and fitted it together with 2 back to back diodes across the input terminals to reduce chances of it happening again. Meter now works fine - I was surprised to find that no other components had failed - I was expecting to have to replace a transistor or two and probably the bipolar capacitor, but they seem to have survived. Many thanks for your help - I'm always recommending this meter, but now I can add your details - the EVB meter looks more professional than the DSE - slimmer and more moder Once again - many thanks for assisting in a speedy recovery Rick Humble – Spain

I got it today. That was very quick! Nice little box - thanks. Adrian Huck – UK

Hello EVB!

I am a very happy EVB user!.... and recently I read where your new "kit" version of the EVB has the low drop out regulator.

It is easy to buy the LP2950CZ-5.0 regulator here, and it would be very easy to install it in my EVB.

Is there an adjustment in the EVB I can set for when the low battery warning will come on?

Thank you!

tom jobe...

PS I have a nice variable DC power supply to do the battery voltage adjustment with, and plenty of parts and equipment to do any modifications you might suggest..

Hi Tom

many thanks for your nice comments, it will be very easy and definitely a very nice upgrade for your EVB meter, and I'll be very happy to lead you doing that, replace the old regulator, to new LP2950CZ 5.0 and a resistor of 47k close to on-off switch to 27k, all hardware changes are done, turn 10k trimmer fully clockwise, apply 5,5v to battery snap, watch the polarity, power on the meter and turn that 10k trimmer slowly, anti-clockwise until "b" start to flash, now use one fresh 9v battery to power the meter, power on, zero the leads and measure with one 1% resistor around 4 to 10ohm, 5.6ohm is the best, check the value displayed and adjust 220R trimmer if need to match the resistor under test for it's value, clockwise increase, anti-clockwise decrease the displayed value, that's it, your upgrade is done. any doubt more let me know. Good Luck Vitor

Hi Vitor,

Thank you for the quick reply.... more of that fine EVB service you are so well known for!

This will be a nice upgrade for my favorite ESR meter, now it will use the battery down to 5.5 volts.

Your instructions are perfectly clear, and I will order the LP2950 today.

Recently my friend Steve White ordered an EVB ESR meter from you, and he received it this last week. He is very happy with it already!

tom jobe...

Hello Vitor,

The LP2950-5 low drop out regulator arrived today, and with your instructions the new parts were installed and the calibration done in just a few minutes. I did not have any 1% resistors, so I checked the calibration on many resistors rated between 0.1 Ohms and 51 Ohms, and the EVB meter read very close on all of them!

Thank you for the fine product and the instructions to upgrade it!

tom jobe...

A Special　thanks to everyone, who　ordered EVB ESR Meter  and also for these nice comments, good luck to you　all. 　EVB aim to please.
