|---|---|---|
| El comptador no s'encén | Bateries gastades o mal instal·lades | Canvieu les piles, assegurant-vos de la polaritat correcta. |
| No hi ha lectura o es mostra "OL" (sobrecàrrega) | Incorrect function selected; circuit open; measurement range exceeded | Select correct function; check circuit continuity; ensure measurement is within meter's range. |
| Lectures inexactes | Poor test lead connection; external interference; low battery | Ensure leads are firmly connected; move away from strong electromagnetic fields; replace batteries. |
| El brunzidor de continuïtat no funciona | Circuit resistance too high; function not selected | Check circuit for breaks; ensure continuity function is active. |
10. Consells d'usuari
- For current measurements, always clamp around a single conductor, not a bundle of wires, to get an accurate reading.
- Quan es mesura el voltage, always connect the test leads in parallel with the component or power source.
- Before measuring resistance or capacitance, ensure the circuit is de-energized and any capacitors are discharged to prevent damage to the meter or inaccurate readings.
- Utilize the backlight feature in dark environments for better visibility of the display.
- The NCV function is a quick way to check for the presence of AC voltage sense contacte directe, millorant la seguretat.
