6. Funcionament

6.1 Ajust del zero

Before applying power, ensure the meter's needle rests precisely on the '0' mark. If it does not, use a small flat-head screwdriver to gently turn the zero adjustment screw (located at the bottom center of the meter face) until the needle aligns with zero.

6.2 Prendre una mesura

1. Ensure the meter is correctly installed and wired in series with the circuit.
2. Aplica energia al circuit.
3. Observe the needle's position on the scale. The value indicated by the needle is the current in Amperes (A).
4. Per a lectures precises, view the meter face directly to avoid parallax error.

7. Manteniment

• Neteja: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the meter's face and casing. No utilitzeu productes de neteja abrasius ni dissolvents.
