• Botó MAX: Displays the maximum reading recorded during a measurement session.
• Preses d'entrada:
  • COM (Common) Jack: For the black test lead.
  • VΩHz%mA Jack: For the red test lead when measuring voltage, resistance, frequency, capacitance, or current (up to 200mA).

5. Configuració

5.1 Instal·lació de la bateria

The DMMW3 uses one CR2032 coin cell battery. If the low battery indicator appears on the display, or if the unit does not power on, replace the battery:

1. Assegureu-vos que el multímetre estigui apagat i desconnecteu tots els cables de prova.
2. Localitzeu el compartiment de la bateria a la part posterior de la unitat.
3. Feu servir un tornavís petit per obrir la tapa del compartiment de la bateria.
4. Traieu la pila CR2032 antiga, observant la seva polaritat.
5. Inseriu una nova bateria CR2032 amb el costat positiu (+) cap amunt.
6. Substituïu la tapa del compartiment de la bateria i fixeu-la amb el cargol.

5.2 Connexió dels cables de prova

Always connect the test leads correctly for accurate and safe measurements:

• Introduïu el cable de prova negre al COM Presa d'entrada (comuna).
• Introduïu el cable de prova vermell al VΩHz%mA input jack for most measurements (voltage, resistance, continuity, diode, capacitance, frequency, current up to 200mA).

6. Instruccions de funcionament

6.1 Encès/Apagat

To power on the multimeter, rotate the Function Selector Dial from the OFF position to any desired measurement function. To power off, rotate the dial back to the OFF position (indicated by the power symbol ⏻).

6.2 Selecció de la funció

Rotate the Function Selector Dial to choose the primary measurement category:

• mA: For measuring DC or AC current (up to 200mA).
• Ω / Continuity / Diode / Capacitance: For measuring resistance, checking continuity, testing diodes, or measuring capacitance. Use the MODE button to cycle through these functions.
• V: For measuring DC or AC voltage. Utilitzar el MODE button to switch between DC and AC voltage.
• Hz%: For measuring frequency or duty cycle. Use the MODE button to switch between frequency (Hz) and duty cycle (%).

6.3 Using Control Buttons

• Mode: Press to select secondary functions within a dial position (e.g., AC/DC, Resistance/Continuity/Diode/Capacitance, Hz/%).
• GAMMA: Premeu per canviar entre la configuració automàtica i la manual. En la configuració manual, premeu repetidament per anar passant pels rangs disponibles.
• MANTENIR: Premeu per congelar la lectura actual a la pantalla. Premeu de nou per alliberar-la.
• MÀXIM: Press to capture and display the maximum value measured during a session. Press again to exit MAX mode.

6.4 Performing Measurements (Exampells)

Always ensure the circuit is de-energized before connecting test leads for resistance, continuity, diode, or capacitance measurements.

6.4.1 DC/AC Voltage Mesura

1. Set the Function Selector Dial to V.
2. Premeu el botó MODE button to select DC or AC voltage (DC or AC indicator on display).
3. Connect the red test lead to the positive (+) side of the circuit and the black test lead to the negative (-) side or ground.
4. Llegeix el voltage valor a la pantalla.

6.4.2 Mesura de la Resistència

1. Assegureu-vos que el circuit estigui desenergitzat.
2. Set the Function Selector Dial to Ω. Premeu MODE until the Ω symbol is displayed.
3. Connecteu els cables de prova al component que s'ha de mesurar.
4. Llegiu el valor de resistència a la pantalla.

6.4.3 Prova de continuïtat

1. Assegureu-vos que el circuit estigui desenergitzat.
2. Set the Function Selector Dial to Ω. Premeu MODE until the continuity symbol (⧸) es mostra.
3. Connecteu els cables de prova a través del circuit o component.
4. A continuous beep indicates continuity (low resistance). The display will show the resistance value.

7. Manteniment

7.1 Neteja

Netegeu el cas amb l'anunciamp drap i detergent suau. No utilitzeu abrasius ni dissolvents. Mantingueu els terminals d'entrada lliures de brutícia i humitat.

7.2 Substitució de la bateria

Refer to Section 5.1 for detailed battery replacement instructions. Always use a fresh CR2032 battery.

7.3 Canvi de fusibles

The DMMW3 has a 200mA MAX FUSED input for current measurements. If the current measurement function stops working, the fuse may need replacement. This procedure should only be performed by qualified personnel.

1. Assegureu-vos que el multímetre estigui apagat i desconnecteu tots els cables de prova.
2. Open the back casing of the multimeter (this may require removing multiple screws).
3. Locate the fuse.
4. Replace the blown fuse with a fuse of the exact same type and rating (e.g., 200mA, fast-acting).
5. Carefully reassemble the multimeter, ensuring all screws are tightened.

WARNING: Using an incorrect fuse type or rating can damage the meter and pose a serious safety hazard.

7.4 Emmagatzematge

If the meter is not to be used for an extended period, remove the battery to prevent leakage. Store the meter in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
