- SEL (Select): Toggles between different functions within a single rotary switch position (e.g., Resistance, Diode, Continuity).
- Input Terminals (COM, INPUT): Per connectar els cables de prova per a voltage, resistance, continuity, and diode measurements.
4. Configuració
Instal·lació de la bateria:
The Testboy TV 216N requires 3 AAA batteries for operation. Batteries are included with the device.
- Localitzeu la tapa del compartiment de la bateria a la part posterior del dispositiu.
- Feu servir un tornavís per afluixar el cargol que fixa la tapa de la bateria.
- Traieu la tapa de la bateria.
- Insert 3 AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+ and -) as indicated inside the compartment.
- Col·loqueu la tapa de la bateria i premeu el cargol amb seguretat.
Nota: If the low battery indicator appears on the display, replace the batteries immediately to ensure accurate measurements.
5. Instruccions de funcionament
5.1 Engegada/apagada
To power on the device, rotate the rotary switch from the 'OFF' position to any desired measurement function. To power off, rotate the switch back to 'OFF'.
5.2 Measuring AC/DC Current (A~ / A=)
Utilitzeu el clamp jaws for non-contact current measurement.
- Rotate the rotary switch to the 'A~' position for AC current or 'A=' for DC current.
- Premeu el disparador de la mandíbula per obrir el clamp mandíbules.
- Enclose only one conductor of the circuit with the clamp jaws. Ensure the jaws are fully closed around the conductor.
- Llegiu el valor actual a la pantalla LCD.

5.3 Mesurar AC/DC Voltage (V~ / V=)
Use test leads for voltage mesures.
- Insert the black test lead into the 'COM' terminal and the red test lead into the 'INPUT' terminal.
- Rotate the rotary switch to the 'V~' position for AC voltage o 'V=' per a vol DCtage.
- Connecteu els cables de prova en paral·lel al circuit o component que voleu mesurar.
- Llegeix el voltage valor a la pantalla LCD.
5.4 Measuring Resistance, Continuity, and Diode (Ω)
Use test leads for these measurements.
- Insert the black test lead into the 'COM' terminal and the red test lead into the 'INPUT' terminal.
- Rotate the rotary switch to the 'Ω' position.
- Use the 'SEL' button to cycle through Resistance (Ω), Continuity (buzzer symbol), and Diode (diode symbol) functions.
- For Resistance: Connect the test leads across the component. Read the resistance value.
- For Continuity: Connect the test leads across the circuit. A continuous beep indicates continuity (low resistance).
- For Diode: Connect the red lead to the anode and the black lead to the cathode. The display will show the forward voltage drop. Reverse the leads; the display should show 'OL' (open loop) for a good diode.
5.5 Measuring Frequency/Duty Cycle (Hz/%)
Use test leads for these measurements.
- Insert the black test lead into the 'COM' terminal and the red test lead into the 'INPUT' terminal.
- Rotate the rotary switch to the 'Hz/%' position.
- Connecteu els cables de prova a la font de senyal.
- Use the 'Hz/%' button to toggle between frequency (Hz) and duty cycle (%).
- Llegiu el valor a la pantalla LCD.
5.6 Ús dels botons de funció
- MIN / MAX: Press once to activate. The meter will record and display the minimum and maximum readings. Press again to cycle between MIN, MAX, and current reading. Long press to exit.
- RAN (Range): Press to switch from auto-ranging to manual ranging. Each subsequent press will cycle through available manual ranges. Long press to return to auto-ranging.
- BL/HOLD: Short press to turn the display backlight on/off. Long press to activate/deactivate data hold, freezing the current reading on the display.
6. Manteniment
6.1 Neteja
Netegeu el dispositiu amb un anunciamp cloth and a mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the device is completely dry before storage or next use.
6.2 Substitució de la bateria

6.3 Emmagatzematge
If the device is not used for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent leakage. Store the device in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
7. Solució De Problemes
- Sense pantalla: Comproveu la instal·lació de les piles i assegureu-vos que no estiguin esgotades. Substituïu-les si cal.
- Lectures incorrectes: Ensure the correct function is selected on the rotary switch. Verify test lead connections. Check for proper clamping around a single conductor for current measurements.
- 'OL' a la pantalla: Indicates an open circuit or a measurement exceeding the selected range. For resistance, it means infinite resistance. For diode, it means reverse bias or open.
- Resposta lenta: Low battery power can affect performance. Replace batteries.
If issues persist after troubleshooting, contact Testboy customer support or a qualified service technician.
