4. Instrucțiuni de utilizare

Turn the rotary dial to select the desired measurement function. Use the 'SELECT' button to toggle between AC/DC or other sub-functions within a dial setting.

4.1 Măsurarea curentului AC/DC (Clamp)

1. Turn the rotary dial to the 'A~' (AC Current) or 'A=' (DC Current) position.
2. Apăsați clamp trăgaciul pentru a deschide maxilarul.
3. Enclose a un singur conductor within the clamp maxilar. Asigurați-vă că maxilarul este complet închis.
4. Citiți valoarea curentă de pe afișaj.

4.2 AC/DC Voltage Măsurare

1. Rotiți butonul rotativ la „V~” (Volum ACtage) sau 'V=' (Volumul DCtage) poziţia.
2. Connect the red test lead to the positive side of the circuit and the black test lead to the negative/ground.
3. Citiți voltage valoarea pe display.

4.3 Resistance, Capacitance, Diode, Continuity, Frequency, Duty Cycle

For these functions, turn the rotary dial to the corresponding symbol (Ω for Resistance, ∔ for Capacitance, ⟷ for Diode/Continuity, Hz/% for Frequency/Duty Cycle). Use the 'SELECT' button to switch between modes if multiple functions share a dial position. Connect test leads to the circuit or component as appropriate.

4.4 Măsurarea temperaturii

1. Turn the rotary dial to the '°C/°F' position.
2. Connect the K-type thermocouple to the meter's input jacks (red to VΩHz, black to COM).
3. Plasați vârful termocuplului pe obiectul sau zona care urmează să fie măsurată.
4. Citiți temperatura pe afișaj.

4.5 Măsurarea curentului de pornire

1. Rotiți butonul rotativ în poziția „A~” (curent alternativ).
2. Short press the 'INRUSH' button to activate the inrush measurement mode.
3. Clamp the meter around a single AC conductor of the device to be tested.
4. Activate the device. The meter will capture and display the peak startup current.
