FAQs
What is the data hold function?
The data hold function freezes the current reading on the display, allowing you to examine it without needing to keep the probes connected.
How do I measure AC voltage?
Turn the rotary dial to the AC voltage setting (V~) and connect the probes to the circuit.
How do I measure DC current?
Turn the rotary dial to the DC current setting (A=) and connect the probes in series with the circuit.
What is the purpose of the diode test?
The diode test helps to determine if a diode is working correctly by measuring the voltage drop across it.
Can I use this multimeter on high-voltage circuits?
The MM20 is designed for general-purpose use. Always check the multimeter's specifications before use and adhere to safety precautions.
How do I replace the battery?
Remove the battery compartment cover (usually on the back). Replace with the correct type of battery, matching the polarity.
What should I do if the multimeter is damaged?
Discontinue use immediately. Contact Sealey or a qualified technician for repair or replacement.
