Frequently Asked Questions - MTX 203 METRIX

How to measure AC or DC voltage with the MTX 203?
Turn the rotary switch to V≈ (10 MΩ) or VLowZ≈ (500 kΩ). To switch between AC and DC, press the yellow button. Connect the red probe to the + terminal and the black probe to COM. Place the probes on the test points.
How to use the non-contact voltage detection (NCV)?
Disconnect the probes, turn the switch to NCV. Bring the live conductor (230 V, 50 Hz) near the display. The device emits beeps and the backlight flashes red if voltage is detected. Caution: NCV is indicative, does not replace a contact measurement.
What does the 'OL' display mean on the MTX 203?
'OL' stands for 'Over Load'. It indicates that the measured value exceeds the range capacity of the device in the selected range. For example, resistance above 60 MΩ, or voltage beyond the range.
How to replace the batteries of the MTX 203?
Disconnect all test leads. Loosen the 2 screws of the battery compartment cover on the back. Replace the batteries with 2 × 1.5 V AA (LR6) batteries, respecting polarity. Retighten the cover.
How to test the fuses of the MTX 203?
Turn the switch to Ω position, press the yellow button. Connect a lead to the + terminal and apply the probe to the A or mA/μA input depending on the fuse. A good fuse displays between 000.0 Ω and 000.2 Ω. If 'OL' appears, replace the fuse.
What is the measurement category of the MTX 203?
The MTX 203 complies with category CAT III 600 V according to IEC 61010-1. This allows measurements on low-voltage building installation circuits (distribution boards, circuit breakers, wiring).
How to measure continuity with the MTX 203?
Ensure the circuit is de-energized. Turn the switch to the Ω/continuity position. Continuity mode is selected by default. Connect the red probe to + and black to COM. Apply the probes: a beep sounds if the resistance is less than 50 Ω.
How to measure capacitance with the MTX 203?
Circuit de-energized and discharged. Turn the switch to the Ω/continuity/diode/capacitance position, then press the yellow button three times to select capacitance. Connect the leads (red to +, black to COM) to the capacitor terminals. Read the stabilized value.
What is the VLowZ function used for?
The VLowZ position measures AC voltage with reduced impedance (500 kΩ instead of 10 MΩ). It helps avoid 'ghost' voltages (induced voltages) and gives a more reliable indication of the presence of real voltage.
How to clean the MTX 203?
Use a damp cloth with water and mild detergent. Do not use abrasive products or solvents. Dry the device thoroughly before use. If the terminals are dirty or wet, it may affect measurements.

1.1 Precautions and safety measures

Failure to comply with safety instructions can create a risk of electrical shock, fire, explosion and

destruction of the instrument of the installations. If the device is used other than as specified in this manual, the protection provided by the device may be impaired.

  • The operator and/or the responsible authority must carefully read and clearly understand the various precautions to be taken in use.
  • Before using the instrument, make sure it works properly when measuring a known voltage, and check continuity by short circuiting both test leads.
  • Do not use the instrument in an explosive atmosphere or in the presence of inflammable gas or smoke.
  • Do not use the instrument on networks with a rated voltage or category higher than those mentioned.
  • Respect the maximum rated voltages and currents between terminals and in relation to the earth.
  • Do not use the instrument if it seems damaged, incomplete or incorrectly closed
  • Before each use, check the condition of the cable insulation, the unit and the accessories. All elements on which the insulation is damaged (even partially) must be put out of service for repair or disposed at waste.

  • Use cables and accessories for voltage according to IEC 61010-031 and measurement categories at least equal to those of the instrument. If not, an accessory of a lower category reduces the category of the combined multimeter + accessory to that of the accessory.

  • Respect the environmental conditions of use.
  • Strictly comply with the fuse specifications. Disconnect all cables before opening the fuse access cover.
  • Do not modify the instrument and do not replace components using equivalent parts. Repairs and adjustments must be carried out by qualified, approved personnel.
  • Replace the battery as soon as the symbol appears on the display. Disconnect all cables before opening the battery access cover.
  • Use personal protection equipment when conditions require it.
  • Keep your hands and fingers away from the unused terminals of the device. When handling sensors or test probes, do not place fingers beyond physical finger guard.

3.10 Non Contact Voltage Detection (NCV)

METRIX MTX 203 - Non Contact Voltage Detection (NCV) - 1

NCV can only detect AC live voltage referenced to the ground, the Meter may not detect voltage in NCV due to installation condition of electrical circuit or equipment. Never touch the circuit under test to avoid possible danger even if the Meter didn't detect voltage in NCV.

Network : 230V only, 50 Hz (sensitivity : 10 mV)

The meter can detect AC live voltage without contact.

  1. Remove all test leads from the Meter

  2. Turn the rotary switch to

METRIX MTX 203 - Non Contact Voltage Detection (NCV) - 2

  1. Approach live conductor from LCD (position of the Meter may affect measurement)

If no AC live voltage is detected the Meter will display EF and product will be silent.

If AC live voltage is detected product will show 4 different levels:

from - to ----, at - buzzer will sound discontinuously, at --- buzzer will sound continuously, and backlight will blink red. Basic detection voltage is for 220/230V.

NCV is only for indication purpose and shouldn't be used for measurement, or to detect the absence of voltage.

METRIX MTX 203 - Non Contact Voltage Detection (NCV) - 3

text_image Diagram of a multimeter with analog dial and control buttons, showing measurement ranges and connections

METRIX MTX 203 - Non Contact Voltage Detection (NCV) - 4

The NCV mode has an indicative meaning only and must not be used either for measuring nor detect the absence of voltage.

An engraved marking on the sheath indicates the position of the antenna for NCV indication.

3.11 VlowZ

The Vlow Z position measures AC voltage with lower impedance (500kΩ) than normal voltage measurement, this function is used to avoid measuring ghost voltages.

4. MAINTENANCE

The instrument has no parts that can be replaced by personnel who are not trained and approved. Any non-approved repair or other work, or replacement of a part by an "equivalent", may severely compromise safety

4.1 Cleaning

Periodically wipe the case with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasives or solvents. Dirt or moisture in the terminals can affect the readings. Dry the meter perfectly after cleaning and before use.

4.2 Testing the 10A Fuse
