Introduction 

Congratulations on your purchase of Extech model ML720 True rms 
datalogging digital multimeter. Properly used, this meter will provide many 
years of reliable service. 
 
The MultiLog™ measures AC/DC Voltage/Current, Resistance, 
Frequency, Capacitance, Temperature, Diode, and Continuity. The 
MultiLog™ offers a built-in datalogger and an optical RS-232 interface. 
The meter stores 43,000 data points in internal memory.

Safety Precautions 

1. Improper use of this meter can cause damage, shock, injury or death. 

Read and understand this user’s manual before operating the meter. 

2. Make sure any covers or battery doors are properly closed and 

secured. 

3. Always remove the test leads before replacing the battery or fuses. 
4. Inspect the condition of the test leads and the meter itself for any 

damage before operating the meter. Repair or replace any damage 
before use. 

5. Do not exceed the maximum rated input limits. 
6. Use great care when making measurements if the voltages are 

greater than 25VAC rms or 35VDC. These voltages are considered a 
shock hazard. 

7.  Always discharge capacitors and remove power from the device 

under test before performing Capacitance, Diode, Resistance or 
Continuity tests.
