Milwaukee 2216-20 Multimeter F.A.Q.

How do I measure AC voltage using the Milwaukee 2216-20 Multimeter?

To measure AC voltage, turn the dial to the V~ setting, connect the black probe to the COM terminal, and the red probe to the VΩ terminal. Touch the probes to the circuit under test and read the voltage on the display.

What should I do if the multimeter display is not turning on?

Check the battery compartment to ensure the batteries are properly installed and have charge. Replace the batteries if necessary. If the problem persists, inspect for any visible damage or contact Milwaukee customer support.

How can I test continuity with the Milwaukee 2216-20 Multimeter?

Set the dial to the continuity test position, indicated by the diode symbol. Connect the test leads across the component or circuit to be tested. A continuous tone indicates continuity.

What is the maximum voltage rating for the Milwaukee 2216-20 Multimeter?

The Milwaukee 2216-20 Multimeter is rated for up to 600V AC/DC. Exceeding this voltage may result in damage to the device or injury.

How do I replace the batteries in the Milwaukee 2216-20 Multimeter?

Turn off the multimeter and remove the test leads. Unscrew the battery compartment cover on the back of the unit. Replace the old batteries with new AA batteries, ensuring correct polarity, and reattach the cover.

Can the Milwaukee 2216-20 measure DC current?

Yes, to measure DC current, turn the dial to the μA or A setting, depending on the expected current range, and connect the meter in series with the circuit. Ensure the test leads are connected to the correct terminals.

What should I do if the multimeter gives inaccurate readings?

Ensure the test leads are properly connected and in good condition. Check the multimeter's settings and calibration. If issues persist, consult the user manual or contact Milwaukee for support and recalibration.

Is the Milwaukee 2216-20 Multimeter safe to use on live circuits?

Yes, the multimeter is designed for safe use on live circuits up to its rated voltage. Always follow safety guidelines and wear appropriate personal protective equipment when working with live circuits.

How can I use the Milwaukee 2216-20 to measure resistance?

Set the dial to the Ω position. Ensure the circuit power is off, then connect the test leads across the component or circuit. Read the resistance value on the display.

How often should the Milwaukee 2216-20 Multimeter be calibrated?

For accurate measurements, it is recommended to calibrate the Milwaukee 2216-20 Multimeter annually or according to usage frequency and criticality of measurements.
