2. Informació de seguretat

To ensure safe operation and avoid damage to the meter, please read this manual carefully before use. Adhere to all safety warnings and precautions.

• Always ensure the test leads are correctly connected to the appropriate input terminals for the measurement being performed.
• Do not exceed the maximum input limits for any function. The OW18B is rated for 1000V CAT III and 600V CAT IV.
• Aneu amb extrema precaució quan treballeu amb voltagper sobre de 30 V CA RMS, 42 V pic o 60 V CC. Aquests voltagsuposen un risc de xoc.
• Abans de mesurar el corrent, assegureu-vos que el circuit estigui desenergitzat i que el mesurador estigui connectat en sèrie amb la càrrega.
• Substituïu la bateria immediatament quan aparegui l'indicador de bateria baixa per garantir lectures precises.
• No feu funcionar el mesurador si sembla danyat o si la carcassa està oberta.
• Use only specified replacement parts when servicing the meter.
• Mantingueu els dits darrere de les barreres de la sonda durant les mesures.

2. Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your mobile device or computer.
3. Power on the OW18B multimeter.
4. Open the OWON application. The app should automatically detect and connect to the OW18B. Follow any on-screen prompts for pairing if necessary.
5. Un cop connectat, pots view real-time measurements, log data, and analyze trends within the application.

5. Instruccions de funcionament

5.1 Engegada/Apagada i Selecció de Funcions

To power on the multimeter, rotate the function switch from "OFF" to the desired measurement function. To power off, rotate the switch back to "OFF".

5.2 voltagMesura (CA/CC)

1. Connect the black lead to the COM jack and the red lead to the VΩHz jack.
2. Rotate the function switch to the V~ (AC Voltage) o V- (Volum de corrent continutage) posició.
3. Toqueu les sondes de prova als punts del circuit on el volumtage s'ha de mesurar.
4. Llegeix el voltage value on the display. The meter supports True RMS for AC measurements.

5.3 Mesura de corrent (CA/CC)

Precaució: Never connect the meter in parallel to a voltage source when measuring current. This can damage the meter and pose a safety risk.

1. For mA: Connect the black lead to COM and the red lead to the mA jack.
2. For 20A: Connect the black lead to COM and the red lead to the 20A jack.
3. Rotate the function switch to the A~ (AC Current) or A- (DC Current) position.
4. Obriu el circuit on es vol mesurar el corrent i connecteu el mesurador en sèrie.

If the current measurement function fails, the fuse may need replacement.

1. Assegureu-vos que el multímetre estigui apagat i que tots els cables de prova estiguin desconnectats.
2. Open the battery compartment cover as described in Section 4.1.
3. Locate the fuse(s) inside the compartment. The OW18B typically uses two fuses: a fast-acting 600mA/250V fuse for the mA range and a fast-acting 20A/250V fuse for the 20A range.
4. Carefully remove the blown fuse and replace it with a fuse of the exact same type and rating.
5. Substituïu la tapa del compartiment de la bateria i fixeu-la.

6.4 Emmagatzematge

When not in use for extended periods, remove the battery to prevent leakage. Store the multimeter in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
