If the current measurement function stops working, the fuse may need replacement. Always use fuses of the specified type and rating. Refer to the specifications section for fuse details. Two spare fuses are included in the package.

8. Depanare

  • Fără afișaj/contorul nu pornește: Verificați instalarea bateriilor și asigurați-vă că bateriile nu sunt descărcate. Înlocuiți-le dacă este necesar.
  • 'OL' Reading: This typically indicates an open circuit, a value exceeding the meter's range, or incorrect lead connection for the selected function.
  • Citiri inexacte: Ensure test leads are properly connected, batteries are not low, and the correct function is selected for the measurement. Clean probes and terminals if dirty.
  • Măsurarea curentului nu funcționează: Verificați și înlocuiți siguranța dacă s-a ars.
