4. Configuració

The Metrel MD 1160 is battery-powered. Before initial use, or if the display is dim, ensure that the batteries are correctly installed and have sufficient charge.

Instal·lació de la bateria:

1. Localitzeu el compartiment de la bateria del dispositiu.
2. Obriu la tapa del compartiment de la bateria.
3. Insert the required batteries, observing the correct polarity (+/-) as indicated inside the compartment.
4. Tanqueu bé la tapa del compartiment de la bateria.

Nota: The device will perform a self-test upon power-up. If the device does not power on or shows a low battery indicator, replace the batteries.

5. Instruccions de funcionament

Always ensure the device is functioning correctly by testing it on a known voltage font abans i després de l'ús.

5.1 voltagMesura (CA/CC)

1. Connect the test probes to the points where voltage s'ha de mesurar.
2. El voltage will be indicated by the illuminated LEDs corresponding to the voltagrang e (12 V a 690 V).
3. The precise voltage value will be displayed on the LCD screen.
4. Per a DC voltage, the polarity will also be indicated.

5.2 Prova de continuïtat

1. Assegureu-vos que el circuit que s'està provant estigui desenergitzat.
2. Connect the test probes across the component or circuit path to be tested for continuity.
3. If continuity is detected, the device will emit an acoustic signal and provide a visual indication.

5.3 Unipolar Phase Test

This test is suitable for AC voltagestà entre 100 V i 690 V.

1. Hold the device firmly and touch one test probe to the conductor to be tested.
2. If a phase voltage is present, the device will indicate it.

5.4 Rotating Field Test

This function is used to determine the phase sequence in three-phase systems.

1. Connect the test probes to the three phases of the system.
2. The device will indicate the direction of the rotating field (e.g., clockwise or counter-clockwise, depending on the specific model's indicators).

5.5 Polarity Test

Quan es mesura el vol DCtage, the device automatically indicates the polarity of the voltage.

1. Connect the test probes to the DC voltage font.
2. La pantalla LCD mostrarà el voltage value along with a '+' or '-' symbol to indicate polarity.

6. Manteniment

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and accuracy of your Metrel MD 1160.

• Neteja: Netegeu el dispositiu amb un suau, damp tela. No utilitzeu netejadors abrasius ni dissolvents.
• Emmagatzematge: Guardeu el dispositiu en un lloc sec i fresc, allunyat de la llum solar directa i de temperatures extremes. Si l'emmagatzemeu durant períodes prolongats, traieu les piles per evitar fuites.
• Substitució de la bateria: Replace batteries promptly when the low battery indicator appears to ensure accurate measurements. Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations.
• Inspecció: Regularly inspect the test leads and the device casinComproveu si hi ha algun signe de dany. No utilitzeu aquest producte si està danyat.

7. Solució De Problemes

If you encounter issues with your Metrel MD 1160, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Cap pantalla/dispositiu no s'encén: Comproveu si les piles estan correctament instal·lades i tenen prou càrrega. Canvieu les piles si cal.
• Lectures inexactes: Ensure proper contact between the test probes and the circuit. Verify that the voltage being measured is within the specified operating range of the device (12 V to 690 V AC/DC).
• No Continuity Indication: Ensure the circuit is de-energized. Check for open circuits or faulty components.
• Funcionament intermitent: Check for loose battery connections or damaged test leads.

If the problem persists after attempting these steps, contact Metrel customer support or a qualified service technician.
