Usage Features:
The MT22 features a rotary function switch for selecting measurement types (V DC, V AC, µA, mA, A, Ω, Diode/Continuity, Temperature).
- Mode Button: Used to select between Diode/Continuity, AC/DC, and Temperature (°C/°F) within a given function.
- Range Button: Allows switching between auto-ranging and manual ranging. In manual ranging, users can step through available ranges. Holding the button for 2 seconds returns to auto-ranging.
- Data Hold Button: Freezes the current reading on the display, indicated by "HOLD."
- Max Hold Button: Captures and continuously updates the maximum measured value.
- Test Lead Connections: Dedicated jacks for positive (V, Ω, Temp), common (COM), and high current (10A, µA/mA) inputs.
- Safety Precautions: The manual emphasizes critical safety information, including warnings against measuring voltages exceeding limits, working on live circuits without proper isolation, and exceeding current measurement durations. Specific warnings are provided for high-voltage circuits, AC/DC current measurements, and temperature measurements.
Maintenance Features:
- Battery Replacement: When the "BAT" indicator appears, the 9V battery needs to be replaced. The process involves disconnecting test leads, loosening a screw on the battery cover, inserting a new battery with correct polarity, and securing the cover.
- Fuse Replacement: For the 10A range, a 10A/250V fast blow fuse is used. The procedure is similar to battery replacement: disconnect test leads, loosen the fuse cover screw, remove the old fuse, install a new one of the proper size and value, and secure the cover.
- Troubleshooting: If the meter does not work properly, users are advised to check the fuses and battery for proper insertion and condition.
The MT22 is designed for safe and accurate electrical measurements, providing essential functions for electricians, technicians, and hobbyists. Its compact design and clear display make it a practical tool for various applications.
