Mastech MS8229 Auto-Range 5-in-1 Multi-Functional Digital Multimeter

Q: does it come with a buss fuse ?

It does have fuses, they are two (2). One of 600mA and one of 10A.

Q: Is this meter a true rms measure???

No it's not, but unless you need a really a specific measurement when reading AC signals, this multimeter is not for you. when I bought this multimeter I had the same concern about not having the RMS measurement but really, you need to put in perspective what you need to do with it, because overall this is a great multimeter.

Q: Does it come with carry case/strap?

No case. I bought a FitSand case that was supposed to fit but although it was very nice it was only big enough for the probes. I recently bought this case and it fits perfectly if a little snug: Khanka Hard Travel Case Replacement for KAIWEETS Digital Multimeter TRMS 6000 Counts, Manul Ranging Measuring AC/DC Voltage Current. Look for my review on that case. It has a photo of the MS8229 in it. I downloaded and printed (reduced about 50%) a copy of the manual and it fits in the case under the meter.

Q: I am getting no reading when set to ohms, and I have the leads touching each other, can that be a buss fuse issue, as all other display's etc. seem OK

More information might be needed, but I will make some assumptions and give as good an answer I can. First be sure you have selected the OHMS function. This is done by turning the dial to the second detent LEFT of the OFF position. Then press the SELECT button until a tiny OHMS icon with an M in front of it is displayed. The reading should show O.L at this time. Be sure your probes are pushed fully into the meter- the red lights on the connection indicators will go off when fully pushed in. When you touch the probe leads together the display should change to 000.0. Pressing the RANGE button at this time will change the display ICON and the output reading to reflect the selected range. There is not really any need to change the RANGE function- the meter does this automatically and shows the range it is using on the display. The lowest range (with just the OHMS icon and OL. should read somewhere around .4 or .5 when using the probe wires supplied by the Mfg. This is supposidly the actual resistance of the probe wires themselves. Further presses on the SELECT button will change the meter to another function- Decibel power, Diode test, Ground indicator, or Capacitance test. Each function shows a slightly different display and default output reading. Most (maybe all) functions also have Auto range and manually selectable ranges selections. Hope this helps.Ray Frazierrayfraz@Yahoo.com
