2. Informació de seguretat

Always adhere to safety precautions when using electrical testing equipment. Failure to do so may result in injury or damage to the meter.

• No supereu els valors d'entrada màxims especificats per a cada rang de mesura.
• Ensure the test leads are in good condition and properly connected before making measurements.
• No utilitzeu el mesurador si sembla danyat o si la tapa de la bateria no està correctament tancada.
• Desconnecteu sempre els cables de prova del circuit abans de canviar les funcions.
• Aneu amb compte quan treballeu amb volumtages above 30V AC RMS, 42V peak, or 60V DC, as they pose a shock hazard.
• Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as safety glasses and insulated gloves.
• No feu funcionar el mesurador en ambients amb gasos explosius, vapors o pols.

4.2 Connexió dels cables de prova

Per al voltage, resistance, capacitance, continuity, frequency, and temperature measurements, connect the test leads:

• Introduïu el cable de prova negre al COM (common) input terminal.
• Introduïu el cable de prova vermell al VΩHzCAPTemp terminal d'entrada.

5. Instruccions de funcionament

5.1 Encès/Apagat

Turn the function dial from the OFF position to any desired measurement function to power on the meter. To power off, turn the dial back to the OFF position.

5.2 Apagat automàtic

The meter features an automatic power-off function. If no operation is performed for approximately 15 minutes, the meter will automatically shut down to conserve battery life. Press any button or turn the function dial to reactivate it.

5.3 Mesura de corrent AC/DC (Clamp funció)

1. Gireu el dial de funció a A~ (corrent altern) o A= Posició (corrent continu).
2. Premeu el clamp trigger to open the clamp mandíbula.
3. Enclose only one conductor with the clamp mandíbula. Assegureu-vos que la mandíbula estigui completament tancada.
4. Llegiu el valor actual a la pantalla LCD.

5.4 AC/DC Voltage Mesura

1. Connecteu els cables de prova tal com es descriu a la secció 4.2.
2. Gireu el dial de funció a V~ (Volum AC)tage) o V= (DC Voltage) posició.
3. Connecteu les sondes de prova en paral·lel al circuit o component que s'està provant.
4. Llegeix el voltage valor a la pantalla LCD.
