• Connecteu el negre cable de prova per a la COM Presa d'entrada (comuna).
• Per a la majoria de volumstage, resistance, frequency, capacitance, and temperature measurements, connect the vermell cable de prova per a la VΩHz presa d'entrada.
• Per a mesures de corrent de fins a 600 mA, connecteu el vermell cable de prova per a la mAμA presa d'entrada.
• For high current measurements up to 20A, connect the vermell cable de prova per a la 20A presa d'entrada.
• For temperature measurements, connect the thermo probe to the appropriate input jacks as indicated in the manual.

5. Instruccions de funcionament

Turn the rotary switch to the desired function. The display will show the measurement. Use the 'SEL/VFC' button to switch between sub-functions if available (e.g., AC/DC, VFC).

5.1. DC Voltage Measurement (V⌂)

Connect the red lead to VΩHz and the black lead to COM. Set the rotary switch to the V⌂ range. The multimeter measures DC voltage from 600mV to 1000V.

5.2. AC VoltagMesura de e (V∼)

Connect the red lead to VΩHz and the black lead to COM. Set the rotary switch to the V∼ range. The multimeter measures AC voltage from 6V to 1000V at 40-400Hz. This is a True-RMS measurement.

5.3. VFC Function (Voltage Frequency Converter)

A AC Voltage mode, press the 'SEL/VFC' button to activate the VFC function. This function is useful for measuring AC voltage in variable frequency drive (VFD) circuits, filtering out PWM frequency to accurately measure RMS voltage into a motor.

5.4. DC Current Measurement (A⌂, mA⌂, μA⌂)

Connect the red lead to mAμA or 20A (depending on expected current) and the black lead to COM. Set the rotary switch to the appropriate A⌂ range. Measures DC current from 6mA to 20A.

5.5. Mesura de corrent altern (A∼, mA∼, μA∼)

Connect the red lead to mAμA or 20A and the black lead to COM. Set the rotary switch to the appropriate A∼ range. Measures AC current from 6mA to 20A.

5.6. Mesura de resistència (Ω)

Connect the red lead to VΩHz and the black lead to COM. Set the rotary switch to the Ω range. Measures resistance from 600Ω to 60MΩ.

5.7. Mesura de temperatura (°C/°F)

Connect the thermo probe to the designated input jacks. Set the rotary switch to the temperature function. Measures temperature from -40 to 1000°C or -40 to 1832°F.

5.8. Mesura de la capacitança (F)

Connect the red lead to VΩHz and the black lead to COM. Set the rotary switch to the capacitance function. Measures capacitance from 6nF to 100mF.
