Tekpower YX-360TRe-b Analog Multimeter

1. Introducció

The Tekpower YX-360TR (also known as YX-360TReb and YX-360TRn) is a versatile analog multimeter designed for general purpose electrical testing. This device allows you to accurately measure AC/DC voltage, DC electric current, resistance, and perform diode and continuity checks. Its compact design, large mirrored scale, and built-in tilt stand make it a practical tool for various applications.

2. Informació de seguretat

Always observe standard safety precautions when using any electrical testing equipment. Failure to do so may result in injury or damage to the meter or equipment under test.

• Read this manual thoroughly before operation.
• Ensure the test leads are in good condition, free from cracks or damage.
• Always select the correct function and range before connecting the test leads to the circuit.
• Never attempt to measure voltage on a current range setting, or vice versa.
• No utilitzeu el mesurador si sembla danyat o si la carcassa està oberta.
• Avoid using the meter in wet or damp condicions.
• Aneu amb compte quan treballeu amb volumtagper sobre de 30 V CA RMS, 42 V pic o 60 V CC, ja que representen un perill de descàrrega elèctrica.
• The meter is rated for CAT II installations, meaning it is suitable for measurements performed on circuits directly connected to the low-voltage instal·lació.

3. Producte acabatview

The Tekpower YX-360TRe-b Analog Multimeter consists of several key components:

4. Configuració

4.1. Instal·lació de la bateria

The Tekpower YX-360TRe-b requires two AA batteries for operation. These batteries are typically included with the multimeter.

1. Localitzeu la tapa del compartiment de la bateria a la part posterior del multímetre.
2. Use a screwdriver to remove the screw(s) securing the cover, if present.
3. Obriu amb cura el compartiment de la bateria.
4. Insert the two AA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+ and -) as indicated inside the compartment.
5. Torneu a col·locar la tapa del compartiment de la bateria i fixeu-la amb el(s) cargol(s).

4.2. Connexió dels cables de prova

Connect the red and black test leads to the appropriate input jacks on the multimeter.

• Introduïu el cable de prova negre al -COM (Common) jack. This is the negative terminal.
• Introduïu el cable de prova vermell al VΩmA jack per a la majoria de volumstage, resistance, and current measurements (up to 250mA).
• For higher DC current measurements (up to 250mA), ensure the rotary switch is set to the appropriate DCA range.

5. Instruccions de funcionament

Before taking any measurement, ensure the meter is set to the correct function and range. If the value is unknown, start with the highest range and work downwards.

5.1. DC Voltage (DCV) Measurement

1. Set the rotary switch to the desired DCV range (e.g., 0.1V, 0.25V, 2.5V, 10V, 50V, 250V, 1000V).
2. Connecteu el cable de prova vermell al costat positiu (+) del circuit i el cable de prova negre al costat negatiu (-).
3. Llegeix el voltagvalor e de l'escala DCV a la pantalla analògica.

5.2. AC Voltage (ACV) Measurement

1. Set the rotary switch to the desired ACV range (e.g., 10V, 50V, 250V, 1000V).
2. Connecteu els cables de prova a través del voltatge de CAtage font.
3. Llegeix el voltagvalor e de l'escala ACV a la pantalla analògica.

5.3. DC Current (DCA) Measurement

1. Important: Ensure the circuit is de-energized before connecting the meter in series.
2. Set the rotary switch to the desired DCA range (e.g., 50µA, 2.5mA, 25mA, 250mA).
3. Break the circuit and connect the multimeter in series with the load. The current must flow through the meter.
4. Apliqueu alimentació al circuit i llegiu el valor del corrent de l'escala DCA.

5.4. Resistance (Ω) Measurement

1. Important: Assegureu-vos que el circuit o component estigui desenergitzat abans de mesurar la resistència.
2. Set the rotary switch to the desired Ω range (e.g., X1, X10, X100, X1K, X10K).
3. Short the test leads together (touch the red and black probes).
4. Ajusteu el ΩADJ (Zero Ohm Adjustment) knob until the needle points exactly to '0' on the Ohms scale.
5. Connecteu els cables de prova al component que s'ha de mesurar.
6. Read the value from the Ohms scale and multiply by the range multiplier (e.g., if on X100 range and reading is 50, the resistance is 50 x 100 = 5000 Ω).

5.5. Diode Check

1. Poseu el commutador rotatiu a la Díode or Continuïtat function (often combined).
2. Connect the red lead to the anode and the black lead to the cathode of the diode. The meter should show a low resistance reading.
3. Reverse the leads. The meter should show a very high or infinite resistance reading.
4. For LEDs, the LED should light up when connected in the forward bias direction.

5.6. Prova de continuïtat

1. Poseu el commutador rotatiu a la Continuïtat funció.
2. Connect the test leads across the circuit or component to be tested.
3. If there is continuity (low resistance), the meter will emit an audible buzzer sound and/or illuminate an LED indicator.

5.7. dB Measurement

The meter can measure decibels (dB) within a range of -10 dB to 22 dB. Refer to the specific dB scale on the analog display for readings.

6. Manteniment

6.1. Substitució de la bateria

When the meter's readings become erratic or the display dims, it's time to replace the batteries. Follow the steps in Section 4.1 for battery installation.

6.2. Substitució de fusibles

The multimeter is equipped with fuse protection. If the meter stops functioning on current ranges, the fuse may need replacement. Refer to the meter's internal layout for fuse location and specifications. Always replace with a fuse of the same type and rating.

6.3. Neteja i emmagatzematge

Netegeu la c del comptadorasing amb anunciamp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasives or solvents. Store the meter in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for extended periods, remove the batteries to prevent leakage.
