Introduction 

Thank you for selecting the Extech EX210/EX210T True RMS (EX210T only) Autoranging Multimeter. 
This meter measures AC/DC Voltage, AC/DC Current, Resistance, Diode Test, and Continuity plus 
non-contact InfraRed Temperature. Proper use and care of this meter will provide many years of 
reliable service. Please visit the Extech Instruments website (

www.extech.com

) to check for the latest 

version of this User Guide. Extech Instruments is an ISO-9001 certified company. 
 

Safety 

This symbol adjacent to another symbol, terminal or operating device indicates 
that the operator must refer to an explanation in the Operating Instructions to 
avoid personal injury or damage to the meter. 

This 

WARNING

 symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which if not 

avoided, could result in death or serious injury. 

This 

CAUTION

 symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which if not 

avoided, may result damage to the product. 

This symbol advises the user that the terminal(s) so marked must not be 
connected to a circuit point at which the voltage with respect to earth ground 
exceeds (in this case) 600 VAC or VDC. 

This symbol adjacent to one or more terminals identifies them as being associated 
with ranges that may, in normal use, be subjected to particularly hazardous 
voltages. For maximum safety, the meter and its test leads should not be handled 
when these terminals are energized. 

This symbol indicates that a device is protected throughout by double insulation or 
reinforced insulation. 

PER IEC1010 OVERVOLTAGE INSTALLATION CATEGORY 

OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY I 

Equipment  of  OVERVOLTAGE  CATEGORY  I  is  equipment  for  connection  to  circuits  in  which 
measures are taken to limit the transient overvoltages to an appropriate low level. 

  Note – Examples include protected electronic circuits. 

OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY II 

Equipment of OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY II is energy-consuming equipment to be supplied from 
the fixed installation. 

  Note – Examples include household, office, and laboratory appliances. 

OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY III 

Equipment of OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY III is equipment in fixed installations. 

  Note  –  Examples  include  switches  in  the  fixed  installation  and  some  equipment  for  industrial  use 

with permanent connection to the fixed installation. 

OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY IV 

Equipment of OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY IV is for use at the origin of the installation. 

Note – Examples include electricity meters and primary over-current protection equipment
