1. INTRODUCTION

The MT26 is a CAT III 600V True RMS compact multimeter offering 
measurements of AC and DC voltage, AC and DC current, frequency, 
capacitance, resistance and temperature. The meter has a large 4000 
count backlit LCD with the added advantage of an analogue bar graph. 
The Low Z function has a low pass filter to eliminate errors caused by 
“Ghost” voltages. There is a built-in LED flashlight for dimly lit areas and a 
tilt stand. The Bluetooth function allows the user to transmit data to the 
Android or iOS mobile App for viewing, organising and sharing recordings. 
The meter has a double moulded rubber case with IP67 waterproof and 
dustproof rating.

WARNINGS

• Read, understand and follow Safety Rules and Operating Instructions in 

this manual before using this meter.

• The meter's safety features may not protect the user if not used in 

accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

• Ensure that the test leads are fully seated in the input jacks and keep 

fingers away from the metal probe tips when taking measurements.

• Before changing functions using the selector switch, always disconnect 

the test leads from the circuit under test.

• Use only UL listed test leads with the proper safety category rating.
• Comply with all applicable safety codes. Use approved personal 

protective equipment when working near live electrical circuits-
particularly with regard to arc-flash potential.

• Use caution on live circuits. Voltages above 30V AC RMS, 42V AC peak, 

or 60V DC pose a shock hazard.

• Do not use if the meter or test leads appear damaged.
• Verify operation before using meter by measuring a known live voltage.
• Do not use the meter in wet or damp environments or during electrical 

storms.

• Do not use the meter or near explosive vapors, dust or gasses.
• Do not use the meter if it operates incorrectly. Protection may be 

compromised.

• Do not operate meter while Low Battery warning is on. Replace batteries 

immediately.

• Do not apply voltage or current that exceeds the meter's maximum 

rated input limits.
