AmpRobe RS-1007 PRO Cl analògicamp Manual d'usuari del comptador

1. Introducció

El Amprobe RS-1007 PRO is an average-sensing, manual-ranging analog clamp meter designed for measuring alternating current (AC), AC voltage, and resistance. This instrument is suitable for electrical testing and heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) applications, particularly in environments where extreme temperatures might affect digital meters. Its analog display provides readings via a moving needle on a calibrated scale.

Les característiques clau inclouen:

• Measures AC current up to 1,000 Amperes.
• Mesures AC voltagFins a 600 volts.
• Measures resistance up to 1,000 Ohms.
• Transformador clamp with a 1.88-inch (47 mm) jaw opening for non-contact current measurement.
• Needle lock function to secure readings.
• Broader operating temperature range compared to digital multimeters.
• Meets IEC 61010 safety standard for CAT IV 600V installations.

2. Informació de seguretat

WARNING: To avoid electric shock or personal injury, read, understand, and follow all safety instructions and operating procedures before using this meter.

• Respecteu sempre els codis de seguretat locals i nacionals.
• No utilitzeu el mesurador si sembla danyat o si els cables de prova estan danyats.
• Assegureu-vos que el mesurador estigui configurat a la funció i al rang correctes abans de fer mesures.
• No supereu els límits màxims d'entrada per a cap funció.
• 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.
• Connecteu sempre primer el cable de prova comú (COM) i desconnecteu-lo al final.
• The meter is rated for CAT IV 600V installations, which covers measurements at the source of the low-voltage subministrament.
• A finger guard on the body of the meter helps protect fingers from shock.

• Clamp Mandíbules: Used for non-contact measurement of AC current.
• Jaw Opening Lever: Obre i tanca el clamp mandíbules.
• Analog Display Scale: Shows measurement readings via a moving needle.
• Needle Lock Button: Secures the needle position for reading retention.
• VA ZERO Knob: Adjusts the needle to zero for voltage/mesures actuals.
• Ω ZERO Knob: Adjusts the needle to zero for resistance measurements.
• Interruptor selector de funció/interval: Selects the measurement type (AC A, AC V, Ω) and range.
• Terminals d'entrada:
• COM: Common input terminal for all measurements.
• VΩ: Terminal d'entrada per a voltage i mesures de resistència.
• A: Input terminal for current measurements (when using test leads, though primary current is via clamp).
• Protector de dits: Provides protection against accidental contact with live circuits.

4. Configuració

4.1 Battery Installation (for Resistance Measurement)

The meter requires one 1.5V AAA battery (ANSI/NEDA-24A or IEC LR03) for resistance measurements. Current and voltage measurements do not require a battery.

1. Localitzeu la tapa del compartiment de la bateria a la part posterior del mesurador.
2. Utilitzeu un tornavís per obrir el compartiment.
3. Insert one 1.5V AAA battery, observing correct polarity.
4. Substituïu la tapa del compartiment de la bateria i fixeu-la.

4.2 Fuse Installation (for Resistance Measurement)

A 0.5 amp/1,000V fast-blow fuse is installed for resistance measurement protection.

1. The fuse is typically pre-installed. If replacement is necessary, refer to the battery compartment access.
2. Ensure the replacement fuse matches the specified rating (0.5A/1000V).

4.3 Connexió del cable de prova

Per al voltage and resistance measurements, connect the provided test leads:

• Introduïu el cable de prova negre al COM terminal d'entrada.
• Introduïu el cable de prova vermell al VΩ terminal d'entrada.

5. Instruccions de funcionament

El Amprobe RS-1007 PRO is a manual-ranging meter, requiring the user to select the appropriate range for accurate measurements.

5.1 Measuring AC Current (Clamp funció)

This method measures current without breaking the circuit.

1. Set the meter's function/range selector to the desired AC current range (e.g., 1000A).
2. Press the jaw opening lever to open the clamp mandíbules.
3. Enclose a single conductor (not a bundle of wires) within the clamp mandíbules. Assegureu-vos que les mandíbules estiguin completament tancades.
4. Read the AC current value on the analog display scale.
5. If the needle goes off scale, select a higher range. If the reading is too low for accuracy, select a lower range if available.
6. Per retenir la lectura, premeu la tecla Bloqueig de l'agulla button. Release to allow the needle to move freely again.

5.2 Mesurar AC Voltage

Use the test leads for voltage mesures.

1. Connect the test leads as described in Section 4.3 (black to COM, red to VΩ).
2. Set the meter's function/range selector to the desired AC voltage range (e.g., 600V AC).
3. Before connecting to the circuit, use the VA ZERO knob to ensure the needle is at zero.
4. Carefully connect the test probes in parallel across the circuit or component to be measured.
5. Llegeix l'AC voltage value on the analog display scale.
6. If the needle goes off scale, select a higher range. If the reading is too low for accuracy, select a lower range if available.

5.3 Measuring Resistance and Continuity

Resistance measurements require the installed 1.5V AAA battery.

1. Connect the test leads as described in Section 4.3 (black to COM, red to VΩ).
2. Set the meter's function/range selector to the desired resistance range (e.g., Ω).
3. Short the test leads together (touch the red and black probes).
4. Utilitza el Ω ZERO knob to adjust the needle to zero on the resistance scale.
5. Disconnect power from the circuit or component to be measured.
6. Connecteu les sondes de prova a través del component.
7. Read the resistance value on the analog display scale. A reading of zero or near zero indicates continuity.
8. If the needle does not move, the resistance may be too high for the selected range, or the circuit is open.

6. Manteniment

6.1 Neteja

Netegeu el comptador amb anuncisamp drap i detergent suau. No utilitzeu abrasius ni dissolvents. Mantingueu els terminals d'entrada lliures de brutícia i humitat.

6.2 Substitució de la bateria

If the meter fails to zero for resistance measurements, or if the resistance readings become inaccurate, replace the 1.5V AAA battery as described in Section 4.1.

6.3 Canvi de fusibles

If the resistance function ceases to operate, the 0.5 amp/1,000V fast-blow fuse may need replacement. Ensure the meter is disconnected from all power sources before opening the case to replace the fuse. Use only a fuse of the specified type and rating.

6.4 Emmagatzematge

When not in use, store the meter in its soft vinyl carrying case in a dry, dust-free environment. If storing for extended periods, remove the battery to prevent leakage.

7. Solució De Problemes

• No reading or inaccurate reading:
  • Check if the meter is set to the correct function and range.
  • Ensure test leads are properly connected and not damaged.
  • For current measurements, ensure only a single conductor is within the clamp jaws and they are fully closed.
  • For resistance measurements, check the 1.5V AAA battery and fuse.
  • Ensure the circuit under test is de-energized for resistance measurements.
• Needle does not zero:
  • Utilitza el VA ZERO or Ω ZERO knob to adjust the needle.
  • If unable to zero for resistance, replace the 1.5V AAA battery.
