• Selector de funcions: To select measurement modes (A~, A=, V~, V=, Ω/Continuity, OFF).
• Pantalla LCD: Mostra lectures de mesura, unitats i indicadors.
• Botons: AC/DC, ZERO, H/MAX (Data Hold/Max Hold).
• Terminals d'entrada: COM (common) and VΩ (voltage/resistance) for test leads.
• Protector de mà: Provides protection against accidental contact.

4. Configuració

4.1 Instal·lació de la bateria

The PeakTech P 3131 requires two 1.5V AAA batteries (included). To install or replace batteries:

1. Assegureu-vos que el dispositiu estigui apagat.
2. Localitzeu la tapa del compartiment de la bateria a la part posterior del mesurador.
3. Utilitzeu un tornavís per obrir el compartiment.
4. Insert the two AAA batteries, observing correct polarity (+ and -).
5. Substituïu la tapa del compartiment de la bateria i fixeu-la amb el cargol.

When the low battery indicator appears on the display, replace the batteries immediately to ensure accurate measurements.

4.2 Connexió dels cables de prova

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

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

5. Instruccions de funcionament

5.1 Encès/Apagat

Rotate the function selector dial from the "OFF" position to any desired measurement function to power on the meter. To power off, rotate the dial back to "OFF". The meter features an automatic power-off function (can be deactivated) to conserve battery life.

5.2 Mesura de corrent AC/DC (Clamp)

To measure current without breaking the circuit:

1. Gireu el dial selector de funcions a A~ (corrent altern) o A= Posició (corrent continu).
2. Premeu el botó AC/DC button if you need to switch between AC and DC current modes (if the dial position combines them).
3. Premeu el botó ZERO button to zero the display before measuring DC current, especially for small currents, to compensate for residual magnetism.
4. Obriu el clamp mandíbula prement el gallet.
5. Enclose only un conductor with the clamp mandíbula. Assegureu-vos que la mandíbula estigui completament tancada.
6. Llegiu el valor actual a la pantalla LCD.

5.3 AC/DC Voltage Mesura

Per mesurar voltage:

1. Connecteu els cables de prova tal com es descriu a la secció 4.2.
2. Gireu el dial selector de funcions a V~ (Volum AC)tage) o V= (DC Voltage) posició.
3. Connecteu les sondes de prova en paral·lel al circuit o component que voleu mesurar.
4. Llegeix el voltage valor a la pantalla LCD.

5.4 Resistance and Continuity Measurement

To measure resistance or check for continuity:

1. Connecteu els cables de prova tal com es descriu a la secció 4.2.
2. Gireu el dial selector de funcions a Ω/))) (Resistance/Continuity) position.
3. For resistance: Connect the test probes across the component. Ensure the circuit is de-energized.
4. For continuity: Touch the test probes to the two points you want to check. A continuous beep indicates a low-resistance path (continuity).
5. Llegiu el valor de la resistència a la pantalla LCD.

5.5 Funcions especials

• RMS veritable: The meter measures True Root Mean Square values for AC voltage and current, providing accurate readings for non-sinusoidal waveforms.
• Data Hold (H): Premeu el botó H/MAX button briefly to freeze the current reading on the display. Press again to release.
• Maximum Value Hold (MAX): Manteniu premut el botó H/MAX button to capture and display the maximum measured value. Press again to exit.
• Funció ZERO: Used to zero the display for DC current measurements to eliminate offset errors.
• Rang automàtic: The meter automatically selects the appropriate measurement range.
• Apagat automàtic: The meter automatically turns off after a period of inactivity to save battery. This feature can typically be disabled by holding a specific button during power-on (refer to the device's on-screen indicators or a more detailed manual if available).

6. Manteniment

6.1 Neteja
