• Kwa vipimo vya mkondo wa juu (hadi 10A), ingiza risasi nyekundu ya majaribio kwenye 10A jack.

7. Maagizo ya Uendeshaji

Before making any measurement, ensure the test leads are correctly connected and the function switch is set to the desired range.

7.1. AC/DC Voltage Kipimo

1. Set the function switch to the desired ACV (~) or DCV (---) range (e.g., 200V, 600V).
2. Connect the red test lead to the VΩmA jack and the black test lead to the COM jack.
3. Gusa probes za majaribio hadi sehemu za saketi ambapo voltage inapaswa kupimwa.
4. Soma juzuu yatage thamani kwenye LCD.

7.2. Kipimo cha Sasa cha AC/DC

Tahadhari: Never attempt to measure current on a circuit with voltage present across the current terminals. This can blow the fuse or damage the meter.

1. Zima nguvu kwenye mzunguko.
2. Set the function switch to the desired ACA (~) or DCA (---) range (e.g., 200mA, 10A).
3. Connect the red test lead to the appropriate current jack (VΩmA for mA, 10A for 10A) and the black test lead to the COM jack.
4. Open the circuit where current is to be measured and connect the meter in series.
5. Weka nguvu kwenye saketi na usome thamani ya sasa kwenye LCD.

7.3. Upimaji wa Upinzani

1. Hakikisha mzunguko au kijenzi kimeondolewa nishati.
2. Set the function switch to the desired Resistance (Ω) range (e.g., 200Ω, 20kΩ).
3. Connect the red test lead to the VΩmA jack and the black test lead to the COM jack.
4. Gusa probe za majaribio kwenye sehemu au saketi itakayopimwa.
