ENGLISH GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS Klein Tools MM720 is an automatically ranging true root mean square (TRMS) digital multimeter that measures AC/DC voltage, AC/DC current, and resistance. It can also measure temperature, capacitance, frequency, duty-cycle, test diodes and continuity. It features a high visibility, reverse contrast LCD display with an optical sensor to automatically optimize viewability in dark or bright ambient lighting.

ENGLISH FUNCTION BUTTONS ON/OFF To Power ON the meter rotate the Function Selector switch from the OFF setting to any measurement setting. To Power OFF the meter rotate the Function Selector switch to the OFF setting. By default the meter will automatically Power OFF after 5 minutes of inactivity. Reactivate meter by pressing any button.
FUNCTION BUTTONS "REL" (RELATIVE) BUTTON Relative measurements are available for Voltage, Current, Resistance, Temperature, Capacitance and LoZ. 1. Perform first measurement. 2. With test leads connected, press REL to set frame of reference. 3. Perform second measurement. The value displayed is the difference between first and second measurements.

ENGLISH OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CONNECTING TEST LEADS Do not test if leads are improperly seated. Results could cause intermittent display readings. To ensure proper connection, firmly press leads into the input jack completely. INCORRECT CORRECT TESTING IN CAT III / CAT IV MEASUREMENT LOCATIONS Ensure the test lead shield is pressed firmly in place.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS AC/DC VOLTAGE (LESS THAN 1000V) 1. Insert RED test lead into V jack , and BLACK test lead into COM jack , and rotate function selector switch to the V setting. NOTE: The meter defaults to AC measurement. To measure DC, press the "SEL"...
Page 12
ENGLISH OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS AC/DC CURRENT NOTE: The meter defaults to AC measurement. To measure DC, press the "SEL" button to toggle between AC and DC modes. The AC or DC icon on the LCD indicates which mode is selected. 1. Attach test leads to the appropriate jacks and rotate function selector switch to the appropriate setting as follows: •...
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 2. To measure current: Remove power from circuit, open circuit at measurement point, connect meter in-series in the circuit using the test leads, and apply power to circuit.The meter will auto- range to display the measurement in the most appropriate range. Do not attempt to measure more than 10A.
ENGLISH OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Black lead Red lead NOTE: When in a Resistance setting and the test leads are open (not connected across a resistor), or when a failed resistor is under test, the display will indicate O.L. This is normal. DO NOT attempt to measure resistance on a live circuit.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CAPACITANCE 1. Insert RED test lead into V jack , and BLACK test lead into COM jack , and rotate function selector switch to the Continuity/Resistance/Diode/Capacitance setting. NOTE: The meter defaults to Continuity testing in this mode. To enter Capacitance testing mode, press the "SEL"...

ENGLISH OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS TEMPERATURE 1. Insert K-type thermocouple with adapter into the V and COM jacks (observe polarity markings on thermocouple and meter), and rotate function selector switch to the Temperature setting. NOTE: The meter defaults to Fahrenheit scale in this mode. To enter Celsius scale, press the "SEL"...
MAINTENANCE BATTERY REPLACEMENT When the indicator is displayed, the batteries must be replaced. 1. Remove screw from battery/fuse door. 2. Replace 2 x AAA batteries (note proper polarity). 3. Replace battery/fuse door and fasten securely with screw. FUSE REPLACEMENT A fuse may blow if more than 800mA is applied to the A/mA jack or more than 10A is applied to the 10A jack .
ENGLISH ESPAÑOL CLEANING Be sure meter is turned off and wipe with a clean, dry lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. STORAGE Remove the batteries when meter is not in use for a prolonged period of time. Do not expose to high temperatures or humidity.
