5. Informació de seguretat

Observeu sempre les precaucions de seguretat quan utilitzeu equips de prova elèctrica. Si no ho feu, podeu patir lesions o danys al mesurador o a l'equip que s'està provant.

• Llegeix i entén totes les instruccions abans d'utilitzar.
• No aplicar voltage o un corrent que supera els límits màxims especificats per al comptador.
• Tingueu precaució quan treballeu amb voltagper sobre de 30 V CA RMS, 42 V pic o 60 V CC. Aquests voltagsuposen un risc de xoc.
• Ensure the test leads are in good condition, without any damage to the insulation.
• No feu funcionar el mesurador si sembla danyat o si la carcassa està oberta.
• Desconnecteu sempre l'alimentació del circuit abans de fer mesures de resistència, capacitança o díode.
• Mantingueu els dits darrere dels protectors de dits de les sondes de prova durant les mesures.
• Canvieu les piles quan aparegui l'indicador de bateria baixa per garantir lectures precises.

6.2 Installing Test Leads

1. Insert the red test lead into the 'VΩ' input jack.
2. Insert the black test lead into the 'COM' input jack.
3. Assegureu-vos que les connexions estiguin ben fixades abans de prendre cap mesura.

7. Instruccions de funcionament

7.1 Encès/Apagat

• Premeu el botó Botó d'encesa (red button with power symbol) to turn the meter ON.
• Manteniu premut el botó Botó d'encesa to turn the meter OFF.

7.2 Selecció de la funció

• The meter features intelligent recognition for common measurements (DC Voltage, AC Voltage, Resistència, Continuïtat).
• Premeu el botó Botó SELECT to cycle through different measurement modes if the intelligent recognition does not automatically select the desired function, or for specific functions like Capacitance, Diode, or Frequency.

7.3 Leakage Current Detection (AC Current)

1. Ensure the meter is in AC Current mode (indicated by 'AC' and 'A' or 'mA' on the display).
2. Obriu el clamp mandíbula prement el gallet.
3. Place the jaw around a single conductor (not a bundle of wires) of the circuit you wish to measure.
4. Close the jaw securely. The reading will appear on the display.
5. The meter can detect ground wire, single-phase AC current, and three-phase four-wire leakage current.

7.4 voltagMesura (CA/CC)

1. Connecteu els cables de prova al circuit en paral·lel amb la càrrega.
2. The meter will automatically detect AC or DC voltage. Utilitzar el Botó SELECT if manual selection is needed.
3. Llegeix el voltage valor a la pantalla.

Imatge: Examples of DC Voltage i AC Voltage mesures.

7.5 Mesura de la Resistència

1. Assegureu-vos que el circuit estigui desenergitzat.
2. Connect the test leads across the component to measure resistance.
3. Llegiu el valor de resistència a la pantalla.

7.6 Mesura de la capacitat

• Keep the input terminals free from dirt and moisture.

8.2 Cura de la bateria

• Recharge the battery when the low battery indicator appears to ensure optimal performance and accuracy.
• If storing the meter for an extended period, charge it periodically to maintain battery health.

8.3 Emmagatzematge

• Store the meter in its provided storage bag to protect it from dust and physical damage.
• Keep the meter in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

9. Solució De Problemes

• Sense pantalla/El mesurador no s'encén: Ensure the battery is charged. Connect the Type-C charging cable and allow it to charge for some time before attempting to power on again.
• Lectures inexactes: Check battery level; low battery can affect accuracy. Ensure test leads are properly connected and not damaged. Verify the correct measurement mode is selected.
• Sense bip de continuïtat: Confirm the meter is in continuity mode. Check if the resistance is above 50Ω, as the beep only activates below this threshold.
• Screen Not Rotating: Ensure you are long-pressing the 'SELECT' button. A short press will change functions.
• Leakage Current Reading is Zero/Incorrect: Assegureu-vos que el clamp jaw is fully closed around a SINGLE conductor. Measuring a bundled cable (live and neutral together) will result in zero current.

10. Consells d'usuari

• For precise leakage current measurements, isolate the circuit and measure each conductor individually if possible, or use a dedicated leakage current clamp meter for very low current applications.
• Always start with the highest range when measuring unknown voltages or currents to prevent overloading the meter.
• Utilize the data hold function when taking measurements in hard-to-reach or poorly lit areas, then review the reading once the meter is in a comfortable viewposició d'ingrés.
• The adjustable screen brightness is very useful in varying light conditions, from bright outdoor work to dark indoor spaces.
• Remember to fully charge the meter before important jobs to avoid interruptions, especially given its 20-hour continuous use capacity.
