5. Configuració

5.1 Instal·lació de la bateria

The multimeter requires two 1.5V AA batteries (not included). To install or replace batteries:

  1. Ensure the multimeter is turned off and disconnect all test leads from the input terminals.
  2. Localitzeu la tapa del compartiment de la bateria a la part posterior del mesurador.
  3. Feu servir un tornavís per afluixar el(s) cargol(s) que fixen la tapa de la bateria.
  4. Remove the cover and insert two AA 1.5V batteries, observing the correct polarity (+ and -) as indicated inside the compartment.
  5. Torneu a col·locar la tapa de la bateria i estrenyeu fermament el(s) cargol(s).

5.2 Connexió dels cables de prova

To prepare the multimeter for measurement:

  1. Inseriu el cable de prova negre a la presa d'entrada "COM" (comú).
  2. Per a la majoria de volumstage, resistance, capacitance, frequency, diode, and continuity measurements, insert the red test lead into the "VΩHz" input jack.
  3. For current measurements (mA or A), insert the red test lead into the appropriate "mA" or "A" input jack. The meter will automatically switch to current test mode when leads are connected to these jacks.

6. Instruccions de funcionament

6.1 Encès/Apagat

Premeu el botó vermell d'engegada () to turn the multimeter on. The meter will automatically enter Auto mode. To turn off, press and hold the power button for approximately 2 seconds.

6.2 Automatic Mode (AUTO)

In AUTO mode, the multimeter automatically identifies the measurement type (AC/DC voltage, resistance, continuity) and selects the appropriate range. This simplifies operation for general testing.

6.3 Manual Function Selection

Press the "FUNCTION" button (often labeled with symbols like VΩHz, NCV, °C/°F, etc.) to cycle through different measurement modes. The selected mode will be indicated on the display.

  • VoltagMesura (CA/CC): Connect test leads to COM and VΩHz. Select AC V or DC V mode.
  • Mesura de corrent (CA/CC): Connect test leads to COM and mA or A jacks. Select AC A or DC A mode.
  • Resistance Measurement (Ω): Connect test leads to COM and VΩHz. Select Ω mode.
  • Capacitance Measurement (F): Connect test leads to COM and VΩHz. Select F mode.
  • Mesura de freqüència (Hz): Connect test leads to COM and VΩHz. Select Hz mode.
  • Temperature Measurement (°C/°F): Connect the thermocouple to the input jacks. Select °C/°F mode. The display shows both Celsius and Fahrenheit simultaneously.
