Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of Extech model MV-110, MV-120, or MV-130 digital multimeter. Properly used, this meter will provide many years of reliable service. The meters contains a large 3-1/2 or 4-1/2 digit LCD with adjustable viewing angle and provides such measurement functions as: DC and AC voltage, DC and AC current, resistance, temperature, frequency, capacitance, hFe, battery, square wave output, diode, and continuity check depending upon the model.
Safety Precautions WARNING: Improper use of this meter can cause damage, shock, injury or death. Read and understand this users manual before operating the meter. Make sure any covers or battery doors are properly closed and secured. Always remove the test leads before replacing the battery or fuses. Inspect the condition of the test leads and the meter itself for any damage before operating the meter.
Specifications General Specifications Display 1999 count 3 1/2 digit, adjustable angle (MV-110, MV-120) 19999 count 4 1/2 digit, adjustable display (MV-130) Sample Rate Approximately 2 - 3 per second Input warning Alarm sounds with test leads in the A or 10A socket and the wrong function is selected. Fuse Protection 2A (A socket), 0.2A (mA socket), 10A or 20A range not fused Power Supply...
Operation General Procedures Apply power via ON/OFF switch. If the low battery symbol appears, replace the battery. Set the function switch to the correct position before taking measurements. Press the Display Release Button and set the display to a convenient viewing angle. AC/DC Voltage Measurements (DO NOT EXCEED MAX INPUT LIMIT OF 1000VDC) Connect the black test lead to the meter's COM socket and the red lead to the meter's "VΩF"...
Diode Measurements Connect the black test lead to the COM-socket and the red lead to the VΩ socket. Set the rotary switch to the "Diode" symbol position Connect the test leads to the diode under test. The value of the forward voltage drop (0.3 to 0.6V) or the open circuit voltage (2.6V approx.) will appear in the LCD display for a good diode.

Continuity Measurements (Remove power or voltage from the device under test) Connect the black test lead to the COM-socket and the red lead to the VΩ socket. Set the rotary switch to the "Continuity" symbol position The continuity buzzer will sound if the measured resistance is < 30Ω Battery Measurements (MV-110 only) Connect the black test lead to the COM-socket and the red lead to the VΩ...
Temperature Measurements (MV-120 only) Insert the type K thermocouple mini-connector into the "K" socket. Set the rotary switch to the ºF or ºC position. The value of the measured temperature will appear in the LCD. Transistor hFe Measurements Move the rotary select switch to the hFe position Plug the transistor under test into the appropriate transistor input jacks on the meter front.
