2. Informații de siguranță

Pentru a asigura funcționarea și întreținerea în siguranță a contorului, respectați aceste măsuri de siguranță:

• Respectați întotdeauna codurile de siguranță locale și naționale.
• Nu utilizați aparatul de măsură dacă pare deteriorat sau dacă sondele de testare sunt deteriorate.
• Nu aplicați mai mult decât volumul nominaltage, as marked on the meter, between terminals or between any terminal and earth ground. The MS8332C is rated for 600V CAT III.
• Fiți extrem de precauți când lucrați cu voltageste peste 60 V DC sau 30 V AC RMS. Un astfel de voltagreprezintă un pericol de șoc.
• Deconectați întotdeauna alimentarea circuitului și descărcați toate curentul de mare tensiune.tagcondensatoarele înainte de a efectua teste de rezistență, continuitate sau diode.
• Scoateți sondele de testare din aparat înainte de a deschide capacul bateriei.
• Înlocuiți bateria imediat ce apare indicatorul de baterie descărcată pentru a asigura citiri precise.
• Nu utilizați contorul în medii cu gaze, vapori sau praf exploziv.
• Folosiți întotdeauna funcția și intervalul corecte pentru măsurători.

Category III (CAT III) is for measurements performed in the building installation at the distribution level. Examples are measurements on distribution boards, circuit breakers, wiring, including cables, bus-bars, junction boxes, switches, socket outlets in the fixed installation, and equipment for industrial use and some other equipment, e.g., stationary motors with permanent connection to the fixed installation.

4. Configurare

4.1 Instalarea bateriei

The MASTECH MS8332C requires two (2) AAA batteries for operation, which are included with the product. To install or replace the batteries:

1. Ensure the multimeter is turned OFF and disconnect any test leads from the input jacks.
2. Localizați capacul compartimentului bateriilor pe spatele contorului.
3. Folosiți o șurubelniță pentru a slăbi șurubul (șuruburile) de pe capacul bateriei și a scoate capacul.
4. Insert the two AAA batteries, observing the correct polarity (+ and -) as indicated inside the compartment.
5. Puneți la loc capacul bateriei și fixați-l cu șurubul (șuruburile).

4.2 Conectarea cablurilor de testare

The multimeter comes with a pair of red and black test leads. To connect them:

• Introduceți negru test lead into the "COM" (Common) input jack.
• Introduceți roşu test lead into the "VΩmA" input jack for voltage, resistance, frequency, diode, continuity, and milliampmăsurători de curent.
• For current measurements up to 10A, insert the roşu test lead into the "10A" input jack.

Always ensure test leads are fully inserted before taking measurements.

5. Instrucțiuni de utilizare

The MS8332C features a rotary switch to select the desired measurement function. It has 4000 counts display, autoranging capability, and an auto power-off feature to conserve battery life.

5.1 Selectarea funcției

Turn the rotary switch to the desired function. The meter will automatically select the appropriate range (autoranging) for most measurements. Press the "FUNC" button to toggle between different modes within a single rotary switch position (e.g., AC/DC voltage, diodă/continuitate).

5.2 Proceduri de măsurare

• DC Voltage (V-) Measurement:

  Set the rotary switch to V-. Connect the red test lead to the positive side of the circuit and the black test lead to the negative side. Read the voltage valoarea pe display.

• AC Voltage (V~) Measurement:

  Set the rotary switch to V~. Connect the test leads across the AC voltage source. Read the voltage valoarea pe display.

• DC Current (mA / A) Measurement:

  Set the rotary switch to mA or A depending on the expected current. For currents up to 400mA, use the mA range and the VΩmA input jack. For currents up to 10A, use the A range and the 10A input jack. Connect the meter in series with the circuit. Read the current value on the display.
• Resistance (Ω) Measurement:

  Set the rotary switch to Ω. Ensure the circuit is de-energized. Connect the test leads across the component to be measured. Read the resistance value on the display.

• Test de continuitate:

  Set the rotary switch to the continuity/diode symbol. Press FUNC to select continuity. Connect the test leads across the circuit or component. If continuity exists (resistance below approx. 50Ω), the meter will emit an audible beep.

• Test de diodă:

  Set the rotary switch to the continuity/diode symbol. Press FUNC to select diode test. Connect the red test lead to the anode and the black test lead to the cathode of the diode. The display will show the forward voltage drop. Reverse the leads to check for open circuit (OL) for a good diode.
• Frequency (Hz%) Measurement:

  Set the rotary switch to Hz%. Connect the test leads across the signal source. The display will show the frequency in Hertz (Hz) or duty cycle (%).

• Battery Test (1.5V / 9V):

  Set the rotary switch to 1.5V or 9V. Connect the red test lead to the positive terminal of the battery and the black test lead to the negative terminal. The display will show the battery voltage. This function is designed for quick checks of common 1.5V (AA, AAA, C, D) and 9V batteries.

Always turn the rotary switch to "OFF" when the meter is not in use to conserve battery life. The auto power-off feature will also turn off the meter after a period of inactivity.

6. Întreținere

6.1 Curățare

Ștergeți carcasa cu reclamăamp o lavetă și un detergent blând. Nu utilizați substanțe abrazive sau solvenți. Nu lăsați terminalele de intrare să fie curățate de murdărie și umezeală.

6.2 Înlocuirea bateriei

When the battery symbol appears on the display, the batteries are low and should be replaced immediately to ensure accurate readings. Refer to Section 4.1 for battery installation instructions.

6.3 Inspecția cablurilor de testare

Regularly inspect the test leads for any signs of damage, such as cracked insulation or exposed metal. Replace damaged leads immediately to prevent electric shock hazards.

7. Depanare

• Nu se afișează / Aparatul de măsură nu pornește:
  • Verificați dacă bateriile sunt instalate corect și au o încărcare suficientă. Înlocuiți-le dacă este necesar.
  • Asigurați-vă că comutatorul rotativ nu este în poziția „OFF”.
• "OL" (Overload) Displayed:
  • The measured value exceeds the selected range. Switch to a higher range if available, or ensure the correct function is selected.
  • For resistance or continuity, "OL" may indicate an open circuit.
• Citiri inexacte:
  • Verificați nivelul bateriei; bateriile descărcate pot afecta precizia.
  • Asigurați-vă că sondele de testare sunt introduse complet și nu sunt deteriorate.
  • Verificați dacă funcția și intervalul sunt selectate corect pentru măsurare.
  • Ensure proper connection to the circuit (series for current, parallel for voltagși).
