Operation

Notice: Read and understand all WARNING and CAUTION statements listed in the

safety section of this operation manual prior to using this meter. Set the function select

switch to the OFF position when the meter is not in use.

DC/AC Current Measurements

Warning: Disconnect the test leads from the meter before making

current clamp measurements.

1. Set the Function switch to the 400ADC, 40ADC, 400AAC or

40AAC range. If the range of the measured is not known, select

the higher range first then move to the lower range if necessary.

2. For DC current measurement, press the ZERO key to null the

meter display.

3. Press the trigger to open jaw. Fully enclose one conductor to be

measured.

4. The clamp meter LCD will display the reading.

DC/AC Voltage Measurements

1. Set the rotary function switch to the Volts/Hz/% position.

2. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative (COM) jack and the red test lead

banana plug into the positive (V/Ω/Temp) jack

3. Select AC or DC with the MODE button

4. Connect the test leads to the circuit under test

5. Read the voltage on the display. The display will indicate the proper decimal point and

value.

Resistance Measurements

1. Set the function switch to the Ω•))) CAP position.

2. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative (COM) jack

Insert the red test lead banana plug into the positive (VΩTemp)jack.

3. Touch the test probe tips across the circuit or part under test. It is best to disconnect one

side of the part under test so the rest of the circuit will not interfere with the resistance

reading.

4. Read the resistance on the display. The display will indicate the proper decimal point and

value.

Continuity Check

1. Set the function switch to the Ω•))) CAP position.

2. Push the mode button to indicate •))) on the display.

3. Insert the black lead banana plug into the negative (COM) jack

Insert the red test lead banana plug into the positive (VΩ) jack.

4. Touch the test probe tips to the circuit or wire you wish to check.

5. If the resistance is less than approximately 150Ω, the audible signal will sound. If the

circuit is open, the display will indicate “OL.”.

MA220 V1.3 10/06

Diode Test

1. Turn the rotary switch to the Ω•))) CAP position.

2. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative (COM) jack and the red test lead

banana plug into the positive (VΩ) jack.

3. Push the mode button to indicate on the display.

4. Touch the test probes to the diode under test. Typically for a normal diode, forward

voltage will indicate 0.4V to 0.7V. Reverse voltage will indicate “OL”. Shorted devices will

indicate near 0V and an open device will indicate “OL” in both polarities.

Capacitance Measurements

Warning: To avoid electrical shock, disconnect power to the unit under test and

discharge all capacitors before taking any capacitance measurements. Remove the

batteries and unplug the line cords.

1. Set the function switch to the Ω•))) CAP position.

2. Push the mode button to indicate nF on the display.

3. Insert the black lead banana plug into the negative (COM) jack and

insert the red test lead banana plug into the positive (VΩTemp) jack.

4. Press the ZERO key to null the meter display.

5. Touch the test probe tips to the capacitor you wish to check.

6. Read the capacitance value on the display.

Frequency or % Duty Cycle Measurements

1. Turn the rotary switch to the Volts Hz % position.

2. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative (COM) jack and the red test lead

banana plug into the positive (VΩ) jack.

3. Select Hz or % with the HZ/% button.

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

5. Read the frequency on the display.

MA220 V1.3 10/06

Temperature Measurements

1. Turn the rotary switch to the Temp position.

2. Insert the Temperature Probe into the negative (COM) and the (VΩTemp)jacks, making

sure to observe correct polarity.

3. Select °C or °F with the MODE button.

4. Touch the temperature probe head to the part whose temperature you wish to measure.

Keep the probe touching the part under test until the reading stabilizes.

5. Read the temperature on the display.

Warning: To avoid electrical shock, be sure the thermocouple has been removed before

changing to another measurement function.

Auto/Manual Ranging

The meter turns on in Autoranging mode. Press the RANGE button to enter manual

ranging. Each press of the range button will step to the next range as indicated by the units

and decimal point location. Press and hold the RANGE button for two seconds to return to

Autoranging mode.

Note: Manual ranging does not function in AC Current or Diode and Continuity check

functions. In Temperature function, it will change the resolution from 0.1° to 1°.

Data Hold

To freeze the LCD meter reading, press the HOLD button. While data hold is active, the

HOLD display icon appears on the LCD. Press the HOLD button again to return to normal

operation.

Backlight

Press and hold the HOLD button for >2 seconds to turn the backlight on/off.

Note: The HOLD feature will activate when the backlight is turned on. Press the HOLD

button again to exit the Hold feature.

Zero Button

Zeros Capacitance and DC Current measurements. Also allows the user to offset the

meter by using the displayed value as the zero reference value. Press the ZERO key

momentarily to activate and to exit Zero mode.
