2.2 Connexió dels cables de prova
The multimeter comes with two test leads, typically one red (positive) and one black (negative/common). Proper connection is crucial for accurate and safe measurements.
- Per a la majoria de volumstage, resistance, and low current measurements, connect the black lead to the 'COM' (Common) jack.
- Connect the red lead to the 'V-Ω-mA' jack for voltage, resistència i miliampmesures actuals.
- Per a mesures de corrent elevat (fins a 10 A), connecteu el cable vermell a la presa '10 A'. Always ensure the correct jack is used to prevent damage to the meter or circuit.

3.1 Mesurar DC Voltage (DCV)
- Set the rotary dial to the desired DCV range (e.g., 200m, 2, 20, 200, 1000). Choose a range higher than the expected voltage.
- Connect the red lead to the positive (+) side of the circuit and the black lead to the negative (-) side.
- Llegeix el voltage valor a la pantalla.
3.2 Mesurar AC Voltage (ACV)
- Set the rotary dial to the desired ACV range (e.g., 200m, 2, 20, 200, 750). Choose a range higher than the expected voltage.
- Connecteu els cables de prova a través del voltatge de CAtage source. Polarity does not matter for AC voltage.
- Llegeix el voltage valor a la pantalla.
3.3 Mesura de la resistència (Ω)
- Assegureu-vos que el circuit o component estigui desenergitzat abans de mesurar la resistència.
- Set the rotary dial to the desired Ω range (e.g., 200, 2K, 20K, 200K, 2M, 20M, 200M).
- Connecteu els cables de prova al component que s'ha de mesurar.
- Llegiu el valor de resistència a la pantalla.
3.4 Measuring DC Current (DCA)
- Assegureu-vos que el circuit estigui desenergitzat.
- Set the rotary dial to the desired DCA range (e.g., 200µ, 2m, 20m, 200m, 10A).
- Important: For currents up to 200mA, use the 'V-Ω-mA' jack for the red lead. For currents up to 10A, use the '10A' jack.
- Break the circuit and connect the multimeter in series with the load. The current must flow through the multimeter.
- Reengegueu el circuit i llegiu el valor del corrent.
3.5 Measuring AC Current (ACA)
- Assegureu-vos que el circuit estigui desenergitzat.
- Set the rotary dial to the desired ACA range (e.g., 200µ, 2m, 20m, 200m, 10A).
- Important: For currents up to 200mA, use the 'V-Ω-mA' jack for the red lead. For currents up to 10A, use the '10A' jack.
- Break the circuit and connect the multimeter in series with the load.
- Reengegueu el circuit i llegiu el valor del corrent.
3.6 Measuring Capacitance (CX)
- Assegureu-vos que el condensador estigui completament descarregat abans de fer la prova.
- Set the rotary dial to the CX range (e.g., 2n, 20n, 200n, 2µ, 20µ).
- Connecteu els cables de prova als terminals del condensador.
- Llegiu el valor de la capacitat a la pantalla.
3.7 Diode and Transistor (hFE) Testing
Refer to the specific markings on the dial for diode and transistor testing functions. Typically, diode test mode allows checking the forward voltage drop of a diode, and hFE mode is used for measuring the DC current gain of transistors.
4. Manteniment
4.1 Substitució de la bateria
Replace the 9V 006P battery when the low battery indicator appears on the display or if the multimeter fails to power on. Follow the instructions in Section 2.1.
4.2 Neteja
To clean the multimeter, use a soft, damp drap. No utilitzeu netejadors abrasius ni dissolvents, ja que poden danyar el casing or display. Ensure the device is turned off and disconnected from any circuits before cleaning.
