Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of Extech model MT310, MT320, or MT330 digital multimeter. Properly used, this meter

will provide many years of reliable service. All models measures AC/DC Voltage/Current, Resistance, Frequency and

Capacitance. All models are Autoranging and include a PC Interface feature. The MT320 and MT330 also measure

temperature. The Model MT330 is True RMS responding.

Safety

International Safety Symbols

Refer to the manual Hazardous voltages Double insulation

for further information may be present.

UL Listed

The UL mark does not indicate that this product has been evaluated for the accuracy of its readings.

Safety Precautions

1. Improper use of this meter can cause damage, shock, injury or death. Read and understand this user manual

before operating the meter.

2. Make sure any covers or battery doors are properly closed and secured.

3. Always remove the test leads before replacing the battery or fuses.

4. Inspect the condition of the test leads and the meter itself for any damage before operating the meter. Repair any

damage before use.

5. Do not exceed the maximum rated input limits.

6. Use great care when making measurements if the voltages are greater than 25VAC rms or 35VDC. These

voltages are considered a shock hazard.

7. Always discharge capacitors and remove power from the device under test before performing Capacitance, Diode,

Resistance or Continuity tests.

8. Remove the battery from the meter if the meter is to be stored for long periods.

9. To avoid electric shock, do not measure AC current on any circuit whose voltage exceeds 250V AC.

10. Voltage checks on electrical outlets can be difficult and misleading because of the uncertainty of connection to the

electrical contacts. Other means should be used to ensure that the terminals are not "live".

Operation

Measurement Preparations and Considerations

1. ALWAYS push the power key to the OFF position when the meter is not in use. This meter has Auto Power OFF

that automatically shuts the meter OFF if 30 minutes elapse without activity. To recover from Auto OFF, press any

key. (Alternately, press the POWER key, wait three seconds, and press the POWER key again).

2. If "OL" appears on the display during a measurement, the measurement exceeds the range selected. Change to a

higher range.

AC or DC Voltage Measurements

1. Set the function switch to the "V" position

2. Press the "DC/AC" key until "DC or AC" appears on the LCD.

3. Insert the black test lead into the negative COM jack and the red test lead into the positive Vjack.

4. Touch the test probe tips to the circuit under test.

5. Read the voltage on the display
