• No obriu el dispositiu casing unless explicitly instructed for battery replacement.
• Ensure test leads are removed before opening the battery compartment.
• Use only the specified battery type (9V 6LR61).
• No utilitzeu el dispositiu en mullat o damp condicions.
• Eviteu exposar el dispositiu a temperatures extremes o a la llum solar directa.
• Si el dispositiu sembla danyat, no el feu servir.

3. Configuració

3.1. Instal·lació de la bateria

The VOLTCRAFT TK-1000 requires one 9V 6LR61 battery for operation. The battery is supplied with the device.

1. Ensure the device is powered off and all test leads are disconnected.
2. Localitzeu la tapa del compartiment de la bateria a la part posterior del dispositiu.
3. Use a suitable screwdriver to loosen the screw securing the battery compartment cover.
4. Traieu la coberta amb cura.
5. Introduïu la pila de 9 V, respectant la polaritat correcta (+/-).
6. Substituïu la tapa del compartiment de la bateria i premeu el cargol.

3.2. Connexió dels cables de prova

The calibrator comes with a pair of test leads and crocodile clips for various measurement and simulation tasks.

1. Identify the input jacks on the front panel of the device. These include 4W, V/mV/Ω/TC/RTD, COM, and 3W.
2. Per al voltage, current, or resistance measurements/simulations, connect the red test lead to the V/mV/Ω/TC/RTD jack and the black test lead to the COM jack.
3. For 4-wire RTD measurements, connect the appropriate leads to the 4W and COM jacks.
4. For 3-wire RTD measurements, connect the appropriate leads to the 3W and COM jacks.
5. Assegureu-vos que totes les connexions estiguin segures abans de fer servir.

4. Instruccions de funcionament

4.1. Encendre/apagar

Premeu el botó Poder button (usually marked with a circle and a vertical line) to turn the device on or off. The device features an automatic power-off function to save battery life if inactive for an extended period.

4.2. Selecció de mode

The TK-1000 can measure and simulate various signals. Use the dedicated buttons to select the desired mode:

• V/I/Ω: Per al voltage, current, and resistance measurements/simulations.
• RTD: For Resistance Temperature Detector (Pt100, Pt10, Cu50, Cu100) measurements/simulations.
• TC: For Thermocouple (J, K, T, E, R, S, B, Wre325, Wre526) measurements/simulations.

4.3. Setting Values and Units

Once a mode is selected, use the navigation buttons (e.g., arrow keys, percentage buttons 0%, 25%, 100%) to adjust the output or simulation value. The C / F button allows you to switch between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F) for temperature readings.

4.4. Ajust de la llum de fons

The LCD backlight can be adjusted for optimal visibility. Press the Llum de fons button (often indicated by a sun icon) to cycle through different brightness levels or to turn the backlight on/off.

4.5. Step and Ramp Funcions

The TK-1000 includes step and ramp functions for linearity detection. Refer to the on-screen prompts or specific function buttons (if available) to activate and configure these features. These functions allow the calibrator to automatically increment or sweep through a range of values.

4.6. Saving Settings

The device allows you to memorize frequently used settings for convenience. Consult the device's display and menu options for instructions on how to save and recall custom configurations.

5. Manteniment

5.1. Substitució de la bateria

When the low battery indicator appears on the display, replace the 9V battery as described in Section 3.1. Prompt battery replacement ensures continuous and accurate operation.

5.2. Neteja

Per netejar el dispositiu, netegeu l'exterior amb un drap suau iamp drap. No utilitzeu productes de neteja abrasius ni dissolvents, ja que poden danyar el casing or display. Ensure the device is powered off and disconnected from all leads before cleaning.
