4. Setup

4.1 Battery Installation

The MT-2017N requires 1 Lithium Metal battery (included) for operation. To install or replace batteries:

1. Locate the battery compartment on the back of the multimeter.
2. Use a screwdriver to loosen the screw-on lock securing the battery cover.
3. Remove the battery cover.
4. Insert the 9V and 1.5V AAA batteries according to the polarity indicators inside the compartment.
5. Replace the battery cover and tighten the screw-on lock.

4.2 Test Lead Connection

Connect the gilded test leads to the appropriate input jacks on the multimeter based on the measurement you intend to perform. Always connect the black lead to the 'COM' (common) jack.

5. Operating Instructions

Before taking any measurements, ensure the multimeter is set to the correct function and range. Refer to the specific measurement type below.

Image 5.1: Examples of different measurement applications.

5.1 DC Voltage (DCV) Measurement

1. Set the function dial to the desired DCV range (e.g., 10, 50, 250, 1000V).
2. Connect the black test lead to the 'COM' jack and the red test lead to the 'Vm AΩ+' jack.
3. Connect the test leads in parallel across the DC voltage source.
4. Read the voltage value on the DCV scale of the analog display.

5.2 AC Voltage (ACV) Measurement

1. Set the function dial to the desired ACV range (e.g., 10, 50, 250, 1000V).
2. Connect the black test lead to the 'COM' jack and the red test lead to the 'Vm AΩ+' jack.
3. Connect the test leads in parallel across the AC voltage source.
4. Read the voltage value on the ACV scale of the analog display.

5.3 Resistance (Ω) Measurement

1. Set the function dial to the desired Ω range (e.g., X1, X10, X100, X1K, X10K).
2. Connect the black test lead to the 'COM' jack and the red test lead to the 'Vm AΩ+' jack.
3. Before measuring, short the test leads together and adjust the 'Ω ADJ' knob to set the pointer to zero on the resistance scale.
4. Connect the test leads across the component whose resistance you want to measure. Ensure the component is de-energized.
5. Read the resistance value on the Ω scale and multiply by the selected range multiplier.

5.4 DC Current (DCA) Measurement

1. Set the function dial to the desired DCA range (e.g., 2.5mA, 25mA, 250mA, 10A).
2. For ranges up to 250mA, connect the black test lead to 'COM' and the red test lead to 'Vm AΩ+'. For 10A measurements, connect the red test lead to the '10A' jack.
3. Connect the multimeter in series with the circuit where you want to measure current.
4. Read the current value on the DCA scale.

5.5 Capacitance Measurement

1. Set the function dial to the 'C(µF)' range.
2. Connect the black test lead to 'COM' and the red test lead to 'Vm AΩ+'.
3. Discharge the capacitor before connecting the test leads across it.
4. Read the capacitance value on the appropriate scale.

5.6 Battery Check

1. Set the function dial to the 'BATT' range (1.5V or 9V).
2. Connect the black test lead to 'COM' and the red test lead to 'Vm AΩ+'.
3. Connect the test leads across the battery terminals, observing polarity.
4. Read the battery voltage on the corresponding scale.

5.7 Buzzer Function (Continuity Test)

1. Set the function dial to the 'Buzzer' position.
2. Connect the black test lead to 'COM' and the red test lead to 'Vm AΩ+'.
3. Touch the test leads to the two points of the circuit or component you want to test for continuity.
4. If there is continuity (low resistance), the multimeter will emit an audible beep.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and accuracy of your multimeter.

6.1 Cleaning

• Wipe the multimeter's casing with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Keep the test leads clean and free of debris.

6.2 Fuse Replacement

The MT-2017N is equipped with 0.5A/250V and 10A/250V fuses for overload protection. If the multimeter stops functioning on a particular range, the fuse may need replacement.

1. Ensure the multimeter is turned off and test leads are disconnected.
2. Open the battery compartment as described in Section 4.1.
3. Carefully remove the old fuse(s).
4. Replace with new fuses of the exact same type and rating (0.5A/250V and 10A/250V).
5. Close the battery compartment securely.
