5. Instrucțiuni de utilizare

Before operation, ensure the test leads are properly connected and the function dial is set to the desired measurement mode.

5.1. AC/DC Voltage Measurement (V~) / (V=)

1. Turn the rotary switch to the "V~" (AC Voltage) or "V=" (DC Voltage) poziţia.
2. Connect the red test lead to the "V" input jack and the black test lead to the "COM" input jack.
3. Atingeți sondele de testare punctele circuitului unde volumultage este de măsurat.
4. Citiți voltage value on the display. The unit will automatically select the appropriate range.

5.2. AC/DC Current Measurement (mA~) / (mA=)

1. Turn the rotary switch to the "mA~" (AC Current) or "mA=" (DC Current) position.
2. Connect the red test lead to the "mA" input jack and the black test lead to the "COM" input jack.
3. Atenţie: Pentru a măsura curentul, multimetrul trebuie conectat în serie cu circuitul. Asigurați-vă că circuitul este deconectat de la curent înainte de a conecta multimetrul.
4. Break the circuit and insert the multimeter in series.
5. Reconectați circuitul și citiți valoarea curentului pe afișaj.

5.3. Măsurarea rezistenței (Ω)

1. Turn the rotary switch to the "Ω" (Resistance) position.
2. Connect the red test lead to the "V" input jack and the black test lead to the "COM" input jack.
3. Ensure the circuit or component to be measured is de-energized.
4. Touch the test probes across the component.
5. Citiți valoarea rezistenței pe afișaj.

5.4. Logic Level Test

This function allows for quick testing of digital logic levels.

1. Turn the rotary switch to the "LOGIC" position.
2. Connect the black test lead to the "COM" input jack. The red test lead is integrated into the pen tip.
3. Touch the pen tip to the point on the circuit where the logic level is to be tested.
4. The display will indicate:
   • Nivel inalt: Dacă voltage is >3.5V
   • Nivel scăzut: Dacă voltage is <3.5V

5.5. Diode Check (→|)

1. Turn the rotary switch to the "→|" (Diode) position.
2. Connect the red test lead to the "V" input jack and the black test lead to the "COM" input jack.
3. Conectați sonda roșie la anod și sonda neagră la catodul diodei.
4. Citiți voltage drop on the display. Reverse the probes to check for open circuit (OL) indication.

5.6. Continuity Test (•)))

1. Turn the rotary switch to the "•)))" (Continuity) position.
2. Connect the red test lead to the "V" input jack and the black test lead to the "COM" input jack.
3. Touch the test probes to the two points of the circuit or component to be tested.
4. If continuity exists (resistance below a certain threshold), the multimeter will emit an audible beep and display a low resistance value. An "OL" (Open Loop) indicates no continuity.

5.7. Menținerea datelor (HOLD)

Apăsați butonul „HOLD” pentru a îngheța citirea curentă de pe afișaj. Apăsați-l din nou pentru a elibera funcția de blocare și a relua măsurătorile în timp real.

5.8. Maximum Value Hold (MAX H)

Press the "MAX H" button to activate the maximum value hold function. The multimeter will continuously monitor and display the highest value measured since the function was activated. Press it again to exit this mode.

5.9. Oprire automată

To conserve battery life, the MS8211D is equipped with an auto power-off feature. If no operation is performed for approximately 15 minutes, the multimeter will automatically shut down. To reactivate, turn the rotary switch to the "OFF" position and then back to the desired measurement function.
