5. Configurarea și instalarea bateriei
5.1 Instalarea bateriei
The MS2108 requires 3 x 1.5V AAA batteries (not included). To install:
- Asigurați-vă că aparatul de măsură este oprit.
- Localizați capacul compartimentului bateriilor pe spatele contorului.
- Folosiți o șurubelniță pentru a deschide compartimentul bateriei.
- Insert three AAA batteries, observing the correct polarity (+/-) as indicated inside the compartment.
- Puneți la loc capacul compartimentului bateriei și fixați-l cu șurubul.
5.2 Conectarea cablurilor de testare
Pentru voltage, resistance, capacitance, frequency (from test terminal), continuity, and diode measurements, connect the test leads:
- Insert the red test lead into the 'INPUT' jack.
- Introduceți sonda neagră de testare în mufa „COM” (comună).
6. Instrucțiuni de utilizare
6.1 Selector de funcții
Rotiți selectorul central pentru a selecta funcția de măsurare dorită:
- OPRIT: Oprește contorul.
- V~: AC Voltage măsurare.
- V-: DC Voltage măsurare.
- A~: AC Current measurement (using clamp).
- LA-: DC Current measurement (using clamp).
- Ω K Å: Resistance, Continuity, Diode, Capacitance measurement. Use the 'SEL' button to cycle through these functions.
- Hz%: Frequency and Duty Cycle measurement.
6.2 Funcțiile butoanelor
- SEL (Yellow Button): Selects sub-functions within a main dial position (e.g., AC/DC, Ohm/Diode/Continuity).
- MINIM MAXIM: Toggles between minimum and maximum recorded values during a measurement session.
- A FUGIT: Toggles between auto-ranging and manual ranging. In manual range, press repeatedly to cycle through ranges.
- Hz/%: When in Voltage or Current mode, press to display frequency or duty cycle.
- B.L. HOLD: Short press to activate/deactivate data hold (freezes the current reading). Long press (2 seconds) to turn the backlight ON/OFF.
- Inrush: Press this button when the dial is in an AC/DC current position to measure inrush current.
6.3 Proceduri de măsurare
Măsurarea curentului AC/DC (Clamp):
- Turn the function dial to the A~ (AC) or A- (DC) position.
- Deschide clamp jaw and enclose a single conductor. Ensure the jaw is fully closed.
- Citiți valoarea curentului de pe afișaj. Pentru curent continuu, respectați polaritatea.
AC / DC Voltage Măsurare:
- Connect the test leads to the 'INPUT' and 'COM' jacks.
- Turn the function dial to V~ (AC) or V- (DC).
- Conectați sondele de testare în paralel cu circuitul sau componenta testată.
- Citiți voltage valoarea pe display.
Resistance, Continuity, Diode, Capacitance Measurement:
- Conectați sondele de testare.
- Turn the function dial to the Ω K Å position.
- Press the 'SEL' button to cycle through Resistance (Ω), Continuity (K), Diode (Å), and Capacitance (uF) functions.
- Connect the test probes to the component. For continuity, a buzzer will sound if resistance is below approximately 50Ω.
Măsurarea curentului de pornire:
- Set the function dial to A~ or A-.
- Press the 'Inrush' button. The display will show 'Inr'.
- Deschide clamp jaw and enclose the conductor of the device you wish to test the inrush current for (e.g., motor, compressor).
- Activate the device. The meter will capture and display the peak inrush current.
7. Întreținere
7.1 Curățare
Ștergeți carcasa contorului cu reclamăamp o lavetă și un detergent blând. Nu utilizați substanțe abrazive sau solvenți. Nu lăsați terminalele de intrare să fie curățate de murdărie sau resturi.
