Introduction 

Congratulations on your purchase of Extech model MM560 or MM570 
digital multimeter. Properly used, this meter will provide many years of 
reliable service. 
 
MultiMaster™ Meters provides high resolution, high accuracy, true rms 
measurements of AC Voltage and Current, DC Voltage and Current, 
AC+DC, Resistance, Frequency, Capacitance, Duty Cycle, dBm, Peak, 
%4-20, Diode, and Continuity. The MultiMaster™ also offers RS-232 PC 
Interface data acquisition capabilities as an option. Model MM570 offers 
dual input Temperature measurements and very wide bandwidth.
