4. Instruccions de funcionament

4.1 Encès/Apagat

To power on the device, press and hold the power button located on the side or front panel until the screen illuminates. To power off, press and hold the same button until the screen shuts down.

4.2 Mode de mesura automàtic

The DM40 series excels in its automatic measurement capabilities. In AUTO mode, the multimeter intelligently detects the type of measurement (DC/AC voltage, current, resistance, etc.) and automatically switches to the appropriate range. This feature significantly simplifies operation, especially for users who need to quickly assess various parameters without manual configuration.

4.3 voltage Measurement (DC, AC, AC+DC)

Per mesurar voltage, ensure test leads are connected to the VΩHz and COM ports. The multimeter automatically detects DC or AC voltage. For AC+DC mixed measurements (available on DM40B/C models), the device displays both AC and DC components simultaneously, providing a comprehensive view of complex signals. The small text on the top left and right of the display shows the AC and DC voltage values respectively.

Safety Warning: When the measured voltage exceeds 30V, the display font will turn red, and a red lightning symbol will appear, indicating potentially hazardous voltage levels. Always exercise extreme caution when working with high voltages.

4.4 Current Measurement (DC, AC, AC+DC)

For current measurements, insert the red test lead into the A mA μA port and the black lead into the COM port. Use the current range button to cycle through DC, AC, or AC+DC measurement modes. The device supports automatic range switching for current, from microamperes (μA) to amperes (A).

4.5 Prova de díodes

The innovative diode test function allows for precise voltage drop measurement across diodes. The device provides distinct audible indicators for different voltage drop ranges, making it easy to identify diode characteristics. This test is performed with high accuracy.

4.6 Prova de continuïtat

The ultra-fast continuity test allows you to quickly check for open or closed circuits. An audible beep indicates a continuous path, while no sound suggests an open circuit. This function is highly responsive, with quick measurements typically less than 1 microsecond.

4.7 Funció de l'oscil·loscopi

The integrated oscilloscope function provides advanced waveform analysis capabilities. With a 10-bit ADC, 50MHz sampling rate, and 10MHz bandwidth, it allows for detailed observation of electrical signals. Key features include various time scales, vertical scales, coupling options (AC/DC), and mathematical functions like FFT/ABS.

4.8 Generador de senyals

The built-in signal generator can produce various waveforms, including sine, sawtooth, triangular, and square waves. This is useful for testing circuits, calibrating other equipment, or generating specific signals for experimental setups. Frequencies range from 1Hz to 10MHz depending on the waveform type.

4.9 IPS Touchscreen Interaction

The 3.5-inch IPS touchscreen provides an intuitive interface for navigating menus, selecting functions, and viewing measurement data. Its high resolution (480*320) ensures a clear and detailed display, enhancing user experience.
