UTI712S pinpoints hot/cold spots to reveal blocked coils, poor airflow paths, failing components, and insulation losses—speeding up diagnostics.

How to Use These Tools (Quick Start)

UT337A CO Meter

  1. Power on & calibrate per manual.
  2. Place near work area to monitor continuously.
  3. Watch thresholds and ventilate/stop work if levels rise.

Digital Multimeters

  1. Select function (V, A, Ω) and range/auto-range.
  2. Probe safely across fuses, terminals, and capacitors.
  3. Log readings to confirm supply, control, and load health.

UTI712S Thermal Camera

  1. Warm up & NUC (calibrate) for a stable image.
  2. Scan methodically: indoor coil, blower, duct runs, outdoor coil/compressor.
  3. Interpret anomalies: uneven coil temps, hot motors, restricted sections.

Three steps for HVAC troubleshooting with Uni-T tools

Real-World Wins

  • Thermal find: A tech used the UTI712S to confirm a heat-loaded compressor—saving time and avoiding blind part swaps.
  • DIY lesson: A car AC recharge gone wrong was fixed by a pro who also found a slow leak—reminder that precision tools (and know-how) matter.
