Introducere
The FLIR VT8-600 is a high-quality voltage, continuity, and current tester, ideal for electricians and service technicians who troubleshoot and verify electrical installations or systems within light commercial and industrial facilities. The optimized open-jaw design of the VT8-600 allows it to access tight spaces and reliably measure large-diameter cables. Comprehensive measurement features make the FLIR VT8-600 a versatile tool – one meter can get the job done. Carry the compact tester in your pocket to be ready at any moment for easy troubleshooting and repair. It features a CAT III-600V/CAT IV-300V safety rating and a measurement range of 100A/600V.
Înființat
1. Instalarea bateriei
The FLIR VT8-600 requires 2 AA batteries for operation, which are included with the device. To install or replace batteries:
- Localizați capacul compartimentului bateriilor din spatele unității.
- Use a suitable tool (e.g., a small screwdriver) to open the battery compartment.
- Introduceți cele 2 baterii AA, asigurându-vă că polaritatea este corectă (+/-), așa cum este indicată în interiorul compartimentului.
- Închideți în siguranță capacul compartimentului bateriei.
2. Conectarea cablurilor de testare
Pentru măsurători care necesită sonde de testare (de exemplu, vol.tage, resistance, continuity, capacitance), connect the leads to the appropriate input jacks on the bottom of the device.
- Introduceți sonda neagră de testare în mufa „COM” (comună).
- Insert the red test lead into the 'VΩ' jack for voltage, măsurători de rezistență, continuitate și capacitate.

Instrucțiuni de operare
The FLIR VT8-600 features a rotary dial for mode selection and dedicated buttons for additional functions.
1. Pornire/Oprire și selectare mod
Turn the rotary dial to the desired measurement function to power on the device. Turn the dial to 'OFF' to power off the device.
2. Funcții de măsurare
- AC / DC Voltage Measurement (V∼ / V—)
Selectați volumultage mode on the rotary dial. Connect the test leads in parallel to the circuit or component to measure voltage. The device supports up to 600V. - AC/DC Current Measurement (A∼ / A—)
Select the current mode on the rotary dial. Use the open jaw to clamp around a single conductor to measure current. The device supports up to 100A. Ensure the conductor is centered within the jaw for accurate readings.

- Măsurarea rezistenței (Ω)
Select the resistance mode. Connect the test leads across the component when it is de-energized. - Continuity Test (⚡)
Select the continuity mode. Place the test leads across the circuit or component. A continuous tone indicates continuity. - Capacitance Measurement (‡)
Select the capacitance mode. Connect the test leads across the capacitor. Ensure the capacitor is discharged before testing.
3. Funcții speciale
- Butonul MOD: Toggles between AC and DC measurements or other sub-functions within a mode.
- REL/ZERO Button: Used for relative measurements or to zero out the display for current measurements.
- Țineți butonul apasat: Îngheață citirea curentă de pe afișaj. Apăsați din nou pentru a elibera.
- Backlight/Work Light Button: Activates the display backlight and the integrated LED work light for improved visibility in dimly lit environments.
