5.3. Resistance, Capacitance, Diode, Continuity, Temperature
Turn the rotary dial to the corresponding position. Use the 'FUNC' button to cycle through different modes if they share a single dial position.
- Resistència (Ω): Connect test leads across the component.
- Capacitat (F): Connect test leads across the capacitor (ensure it's discharged).
- Prova de díode: Connect test leads across the diode.
- Prova de continuïtat: Connect test leads across the circuit. A beep indicates continuity.
- Temperatura (°C/°F): Use the included K-type thermocouple (if applicable) and connect to the input jacks.
5.4. NCV (No-Contact Voltage) Detecció
Per detectar AC voltage without direct contact:
- Turn the rotary dial to the 'NCV/LIVE' position.
- Bring the NCV probe (top of the clamp meter) close to the conductor.
- The LED indicator and audible alarm will signal the presence of AC voltage.
5.5. Live Test
To identify live wires:
- Turn the rotary dial to the 'NCV/LIVE' position.
- Insert the red test lead into the 'INPUT' jack and touch it to the conductor.
- The display will indicate 'LIVE' and an audible alarm will sound if the wire is live.
5.6. LowZ Low Impedance Voltage Mesura
This function helps prevent false readings caused by ghost voltages in circuits.
- Turn the rotary dial to the 'LowZ' position (if available, or cycle with FUNC button).
