1. DESCRIPTION The MT986 Digital Micro OHM Meter is a hand-held testing device with the following measurement capabilities: Time, Resistance, Temperature and Length. It can be used as a μΩ (micro ohm) meter to measure resistance of precise bonding, detect the resistance of various shunts, the resistance of metallic materials, wires and cables, etc.
• Low-power indication. • Auto Power Off. • Data hold. • Data storage of up to 999 readings. 4. DESCRIPTION 4.1. Meter Description 1 - LCD Display 13 - Battery Cover 2 - OHM/LEN/SET Button 14 - Tilt Stand 3 - OK/SAVE Button 15 - Black Input Jack 4 - CLR/READ Button 16 - Red Input Jack...

5.2. OK/SAVE Button • The OK/SAVE button is used for Data storage function. Refer to “Operation” for a complete description of the programming process. 5.3. CLR/READ Button • The CLR/READ button is used for Data read function. Refer to “Operation” for a complete description of the programming process, see operating instructions for details.
as close together as possible without letting them touch, see Fig 1. Note: Make sure the calibration bar and kelvin clips jaws are clean. 6. Press the START/STOP button to start testing. 7. When the readout data is stable, press the ZERO button. This will complete the zeroing of the test leads .
4. Wait until the display stays stable and provides the reading on the LCD display 6.3. Measuring Temperature (Resistance Measurement) • In resistance measurement mode, the temperature is displayed in the lower right corner of the LCD. • When the temperature is lower than -10°C or 14°F, the display will show “-OL”.
6.5. Programming Procedure WARNING: Do not connect the unit to live voltage or charged cable. Note: The sample length of user wires must be between 1m and 100m in METER mode or between 3.3ft and 320ft in FEET mode. 1. Set the rotary switch from the OFF Position to the desired range, calibrate the meter as described in “Calibration Procedure”.
5. Remove the insulation at both ends of the cable under test. Note: Make sure that the two conductors of the cable under test are clean and fully exposed, and that the insulation must be removed to make it easier for the test clip to fully clamp the cable, if desired, use grinding pads to clean the exposed cables.
6.6.2. Read Data • When the meter is in the ready or test state, long press the CLR/READ button, the meter displays the last saved data, then press the UP/COMP or DOWN and FT/M button to show the previously saved data.
3. Set the High/Low comparative value, short press the OHM/LEN/SET button to change the high limit comparative value or low limit comparative value. 4. Select the unit of resistance, after each long press on the DOWN and FT/M button, the unit will display “Ω, mΩ, kΩ”, the same group of high lowers comparative value should have the same unit.
6.9. Bluetooth Function If the Bluetooth function is activated, the user can transfer data from the instrument to the Meter-X app. 1. Hold down the OHM/LEN/SET button while on the resistance mode after turing the meter on, “SET” appears on the LCD and “COMP” starts flashing.
9. Press the CLR/READ button to exit and return to the measurement interface. 6.12. Auto Off • The Meter automatically turns off after 10 minutes of inactivity when auto-off is active. • If the Meter has automatically shut down, restart it by pressing any key or turning the rotary switch.
7.1. Recharging the Internal Battery When the LCD displays symbol “ ”, it is necessary to recharge the battery. WARNING: To avoid electric shock, disconnect the test leads from any source of voltage before removing the battery cover. WARNING: To avoid electric shock, do not operate the meter until the battery cover is in place and fastened securely.
8.2. General Specifications Function Range Display 99999 counts LCD display Low Battery Indication “ ” is displayed Over-Range Indication “OL” display Operating Temperature 0 to 40°C (32 to 104°F) Storage Temperature -20 to 60°C (-4 to 140°F) Operating Humidity Max 80% up to 31°C (87°F) decreasing linearly to 50% at 40°C (104°F) Storage Humidity <80%...
