Configuració
Instal·lació de la bateria
The MD 9040 is powered by a 9V battery. To install or replace the battery, locate the battery compartment on the rear of the device. Open the compartment, insert the 9V battery ensuring correct polarity, and then securely close the cover. Always replace the battery when the low battery indicator appears on the display to maintain measurement accuracy.
Connexió del cable de prova
Connect the test leads to the appropriate input jacks on the multimeter's front panel. The device features a lead alert system to indicate incorrect connections, enhancing user safety. Refer to the following guidelines:
- Per voltage, resistance, capacitance, diode, and continuity measurements, connect the red test lead to the VΩHz jack and the black test lead to the COM jack.
- Per current measurements (mA µA), connect the red test lead to the mA µA jack and the black test lead to the COM jack.
- Per high current measurements (up to 10A), connect the red test lead to the 10A jack and the black test lead to the COM jack.

Instruccions de funcionament
Encès/Apagat
To power on the MD 9040, rotate the central function switch from the OFF position to the desired measurement function. To power off the device, rotate the switch back to the OFF posició.
Funcions de mesura
The MD 9040 offers a comprehensive range of measurement capabilities:
- Voltage (AC/DC): Seleccioneu V~ per a AC voltage o V- per a DC voltage mesures.
- Corrent (CA/CC): Seleccioneu A~ per a corrent altern o A- for DC current measurements. Ensure the test leads are connected to the appropriate current input jacks (mA µA or 10A).
- Resistència (Ω): Seleccioneu el Ω position for resistance measurements.
- Capacitat (F): Seleccioneu el F position for capacitance measurements.
- Prova de díode: Select the diode symbol for testing diodes.
- Prova de continuïtat: Select the continuity symbol for checking circuit continuity, indicated by an audible tone.
- Freqüència (Hz): Seleccioneu el Hz position for frequency measurements.
Auto-Ranging and Manual Ranging
The multimeter defaults to auto-ranging, which automatically selects the most suitable measurement range. To switch to manual ranging, press the GAMMA button. In manual ranging, press GAMMA repeatedly to cycle through available ranges. To return to auto-ranging, press and hold the GAMMA botó.
Mode zero relatiu
Premeu el botó REL button to activate relative zero mode. This function subtracts the current displayed reading from all subsequent measurements, which is useful for comparing values or nulling out background noise. Press REL de nou per sortir d'aquest mode.
Retenció de dades
Premeu el botó MANTENIM button to freeze the current reading on the display. This allows for convenient recording of measurements. Press MANTENIM again to release the display and resume live readings.
Manteniment
Canvi de bateria
When the low battery indicator appears on the display, replace the 9V battery promptly to ensure continued accurate operation. Refer to the 'Setup' section for detailed battery installation instructions.
Neteja
To clean the multimeter casing, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the device. Ensure the multimeter is powered off and disconnected from any electrical circuits before cleaning.
Emmagatzematge
Store the MD 9040 in a dry, cool environment, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity. If the device will not be used for an extended period, it is recommended to remove the battery to prevent potential leakage and damage.
Resolució de problemes
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your MD 9040 multimeter.
- Sense pantalla/alimentació: Check the battery charge level and ensure the 9V battery is correctly installed with proper polarity.
- Lectures inexactes: Verify that the correct measurement function is selected on the rotary switch. Ensure test leads are properly connected to the correct input jacks and that the battery is not low.
- Lead Alert Warning: If the lead alert activates, recheck all test lead connections to ensure they are inserted into the appropriate input jacks for the selected measurement function.
- Display Shows "OL" (Overload): This indicates that the measured value exceeds the currently selected range. Switch to a higher measurement range or ensure the input signal is within the device's specified limits.
