- Ensure the multimeter is turned OFF (rotary switch set to OFF).
- Localitzeu la tapa del compartiment de la bateria a la part posterior de la unitat.
- Remove the screw(s) securing the cover and carefully lift it off.
- Connect a new 9V battery to the battery clip, observing correct polarity.
- Col·loqueu la bateria al compartiment i torneu a col·locar la tapa, fixant-la amb el(s) cargol(s).
6.2 Connexió dels cables de prova
Always connect the test leads correctly for accurate and safe measurements:
- Introduïu el cable de prova negre al COM (common) jack.
- Per a la majoria de mesures (voltage, resistance, diode, hFE, and current up to 200mA), insert the red test lead into the VΩmA jack.
- Per a mesures de corrent elevat (fins a 10 A), inseriu el cable de prova vermell al 10A jack.
7. Instruccions de funcionament
Before making any measurement, ensure the test leads are correctly connected and the rotary switch is set to the appropriate function and range.
7.1 Mesurar DC Voltage (V=)
- Introduïu el cable vermell al VΩmA jack and the black lead into the COM jack.
- Ajusteu l'interruptor rotatiu al volum de CC desitjattage (V=) range. Start with the highest range if the voltage es desconeguda.
- Connect the test leads across the component or circuit to be measured (in parallel).
- Llegeix el voltage value on the LCD display. The display will show the correct polarity.
7.2 Mesurar AC Voltage (V~)
- Introduïu el cable vermell al VΩmA jack and the black lead into the COM jack.
- Ajusteu l'interruptor rotatiu al volum de CA desitjattage (V~) range. Start with the highest range if the voltage es desconeguda.
- Connect the test leads across the component or circuit to be measured (in parallel).
- Llegeix el voltage valor a la pantalla LCD.
7.3 Measuring DC Current (A=)
Caution: Never connect the multimeter in parallel with a voltagla font d'alimentació en mesurar el corrent, ja que això pot fer saltar el fusible o fer malbé el mesurador.
- Determine the expected current. For currents up to 200mA, insert the red lead into the VΩmA jack. For currents up to 10A, insert the red lead into the 10A jack. Always insert the black lead into the COM jack.
- Set the rotary switch to the appropriate DC Current (A=) range. Start with the highest range if the current is unknown.
- Turn off power to the circuit. Open the circuit where the current is to be measured.
- Connecteu el multímetre en sèrie amb el circuit.
- Restore power to the circuit and read the current value on the LCD display.
7.4 Mesura de la resistència (Ω)
Caution: Ensure the circuit is completely de-energized and all capacitors are discharged before measuring resistance.
- Introduïu el cable vermell al VΩmA jack and the black lead into the COM jack.
- Set the rotary switch to the desired Resistance (Ω) range. Start with a higher range if the resistance is unknown.
- Connecteu els cables de prova al component que s'ha de mesurar.
- Llegiu el valor de la resistència a la pantalla LCD.
7.5 Prova de díodes
Caution: Ensure the diode is disconnected from the circuit or the circuit is de-energized before testing.
- Introduïu el cable vermell al VΩmA jack and the black lead into the COM jack.
- Set the rotary switch to the Diode symbol (→|).
- Connecteu el cable vermell a l'ànode i el cable negre al càtode del díode. La pantalla mostrarà el volum directe.tage drop (typically 0.5V to 0.8V for silicon diodes).
- Reverse the leads. The display should show 'OL' (Overload) for a good diode. If it shows a reading in both directions or 'OL' in both directions, the diode may be faulty.
7.6 Transistor (hFE) Test
Caution: Ensure the transistor is disconnected from the circuit before testing.
- Introduïu el cable vermell al VΩmA jack and the black lead into the COM jack.
- Col·loqueu l'interruptor giratori a la posició hFE.
- Identify if the transistor is NPN or PNP. Insert the transistor's emitter, base, and collector leads into the corresponding holes in the hFE socket on the multimeter.
- Read the hFE (DC current gain) value on the LCD display.
