Sifa Muhimu:

• Digital clamp meter measures AC current up to 400 A, AC and DC voltage up to 600 V, and resistance up to 4 kΩ.
• True-RMS sensing provides accurate readings for linear and non-linear loads.
• Jaw opening of 30 mm allows current measurement without interrupting the circuit.
• Audible continuity sensor for quick circuit checks.
• Meets IEC safety standard 61010-1, rated for CAT IV installations to 300 V and CAT III installations to 600 V.
• Includes frequency, temperature, and capacitance measurement capabilities.

2. Taarifa Muhimu za Usalama

Always read and understand the safety instructions before using the Fluke 325 Clamp Meter. Failure to follow safety warnings can result in serious injury or death.

• Do not use the meter if it is damaged or operating abnormally.
• Thibitisha uendeshaji wa mita kwenye vol inayojulikanatage source before use.
• Tumia tahadhari wakati wa kufanya kazi na voltages above 30 V AC RMS, 42 V AC peak, or 60 V DC. These voltaginaleta hatari ya mshtuko.
• Always use the proper terminals, function, and range for your measurements.
• Weka vidole nyuma ya vizuizi vya vidole kwenye vipima.
• The Fluke 325 is rated for CAT IV 300 V and CAT III 600 V. Ensure the meter's rating is appropriate for the environment where it will be used.

3. Kuanza: Weka

Ufungaji wa Betri

The Fluke 325 requires two AA batteries (included). To install or replace batteries:

1. Hakikisha mita imezimwa.
2. Tafuta sehemu ya betri nyuma ya mita.
3. Tumia bisibisi kufungua kifuniko cha sehemu ya betri.
4. Insert two AA batteries, observing correct polarity.
5. Badilisha kifuniko cha sehemu ya betri na uilinde kwa skrubu.

Kuunganisha Viongozi wa Mtihani

Kwa voltage, resistance, continuity, frequency, temperature, and capacitance measurements, connect the test leads to the appropriate input jacks:

• Ingiza risasi nyeusi ya majaribio kwenye jeki ya COM (kawaida).
• Insert the red test lead into the VΩHz jack for most measurements.

4. Operating Your Fluke 325

Piga Kichaguzi cha Kazi

The large yellow rotary dial on the front of the meter is used to select the desired measurement function. Turn the dial to the appropriate setting for your task.

Kipimo cha Sasa cha AC/DC (Cl)amp)

Ili kupima mkondo wa AC au DC:

1. Turn the function dial to the ∼A (AC current) or =A (DC current) position.
2. Fungua clamp jaws by pressing the lever.
3. Place the jaws around a single conductor. Ensure the jaws are fully closed.
4. Soma thamani ya sasa kwenye onyesho.

VoltagKipimo cha e (AC/DC)

Kupima AC au DC voltage:

1. Connect the test leads as described in the 'Connecting Test Leads' section.
2. Turn the function dial to the ∼V (AC voltage) or =V (DC voltage) msimamo.
3. Gusa probes za majaribio hadi sehemu za saketi ambapo voltage inapaswa kupimwa.
4. Soma juzuu yatage thamani kwenye onyesho.

Upinzani na Mwendelezo

To measure resistance or check continuity:

1. Unganisha washauri wa majaribio.
2. Turn the function dial to the Ω (resistance/continuity) position.
3. Touch the test probes across the component or circuit path.
4. For resistance, read the value on the display. For continuity, the meter will beep if a continuous path is detected.

Frequency, Temperature, and Capacitance

The Fluke 325 also offers specialized measurements:

• Mara kwa mara (Hz): Select the Hz function to measure the frequency of AC signals.
• Halijoto (°C/°F): Use the included temperature probe and select the temperature function to measure temperature.
• Uwezo: Select the capacitance function to measure the capacitance of components.

True-RMS Accuracy

The True-RMS feature ensures accurate measurements of AC voltage and current, even when waveforms are distorted or non-sinusoidal. This is crucial for modern electrical systems with non-linear loads.

5. Matengenezo na Matunzo

Kusafisha

To clean the meter, wipe it with a damp kitambaa na sabuni laini. Usitumie viyeyusho au vimumunyisho. Hakikisha mita imekauka kabisa kabla ya matumizi.

Ubadilishaji wa Betri

When the battery indicator appears on the display, replace the batteries as described in the 'Battery Installation' section.

Hifadhi

Hifadhi mita mahali pakavu na penye baridi mbali na jua moja kwa moja na halijoto kali. Ikiwa itahifadhiwa kwa muda mrefu, ondoa betri ili kuzuia uvujaji.

6. Kutatua Masuala ya Kawaida

• Hakuna Onyesho/Nguvu: Angalia usakinishaji wa betri na uhakikishe kuwa betri hazijaisha.
• Usomaji usio sahihi: Verify correct function and range selection. Ensure test leads are properly connected and not damaged. For current measurements, ensure the clamp jaws are fully closed around a single conductor.
• Continuity Beeper Not Working: Check if the function dial is set to continuity and test leads are making good contact.
• 'OL' on Display: This indicates an overload or out-of-range measurement. Select a higher range or ensure the measured value is within the meter's specifications.
