I updated the initial post with ne DMM and their images, have a look :-)

That Gossen could easily be switched from outside the box. IMO, IEC is behind the times to let this sort of thing be allowed in an industrial handheld meter. Then again, I am surprised Gossen would design a meter like this.

Just checked my MTX3292: You can switch the relays easily with a magnet. Good to know that you have to keep magnets away.

It would be good if someone could take the time to trace out the front end of the Metrix. Those parts could indeed be MOVs.
Too bad about the bar graph. That's always a sign of a cheap meter when they start adding the useless features. Lack of conductance is also a bit odd. It the relays change states, IMO, that's a huge fail on their part.

I don't care about the bar graph. If I really need it I connect it to my PC and can see what I need. I also don't care if it can handle high tensions etc., as I mainly use it for voltages below 50V. What bothers me is the magnet problem. The question is, what else is available on the market which suits my needs:
- Good readable display
- Intuitive setup menu
- Fast continuity test, preferable the beeper is selectable for open or close (the MTX3292 can't select that)
- Measurement of temperature with type K thermocouple
- Display of the instruments specifications depending on the measured value (you don't have to dig in the manual to know the spec of the selected range and calculate in your head)
- Display of the input impedance depending on the measured value
- Quick startup
I first wanted to buy the Fluke, but it needs several seconds to start, so it was out. The Gossen Metrawatt seems to have the magnet problem, too, despite of not having some of the features I want. So I don't think there is much left?

I assume you were happy with your purchase up until the time you discovered this problem. Had I not mentioned it, would you even know it exists? Beyond discovering that the money you spent didn't net you the holy grail of handhelds, maybe it's not really a problem.
