2. Taarifa za Usalama

WARNING: To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury, read all safety information before you use the product.

• Fuata kanuni za usalama za ndani na kitaifa kila wakati.
• Do not use the meter if it is damaged or operating abnormally.
• Ensure the function switch is in the correct position for the measurement being performed.
• Usitumie zaidi ya juzuu iliyokadiriwatage, kama ilivyo alama kwenye mita, kati ya vituo au kati ya terminal yoyote na ardhi ya ardhi.
• The Fluke 362 is rated for CAT III 600 V. This rating indicates suitability for measurements in distribution boards, circuit breakers, wiring, including cables, bus-bars, junction boxes, switches, and socket outlets in the fixed installation, and industrial use equipment.
• Tumia tahadhari wakati wa kufanya kazi na voltages above 30 V AC RMS, 42 V peak, or 60 V DC. These voltaginaleta hatari ya mshtuko.
• Remove test leads from the circuit before opening the battery cover.
• Badilisha betri wakati kiashiria cha betri ya chini kinaonekana ili kuhakikisha usomaji sahihi.

4. Kuweka

4.1 Ufungaji wa Betri

The Fluke 362 is battery-powered. Although batteries are not included with all packages, they are required for operation. To install or replace batteries:

1. Ensure the meter is turned OFF and no test leads are connected.
2. Tafuta kifuniko cha sehemu ya betri nyuma ya mita.
3. Tumia bisibisi ili kulegeza skrubu zinazoshikilia kifuniko.
4. Remove the cover and insert the required batteries, observing correct polarity (+/-).
5. Replace the battery cover and tighten the screw(s).

4.2 Muunganisho wa Kiongozi wa Jaribio

Kwa voltage, resistance, and continuity measurements, connect the test leads to the input terminals:

• Insert the black test lead into the “COM” (common) terminal.
• Insert the red test lead into the “VΩ” (voltage/resistance) terminal.

5. Maagizo ya Uendeshaji

5.1 Kuwasha / Kuzima

Rotate the function dial from the “OFF” position to any desired measurement function to power on the meter. To power off, rotate the dial back to the “OFF” position.

5.2 Uteuzi wa Kazi

Use the rotary function dial to select the desired measurement mode (e.g., A∼ for AC current, A— for DC current, V∼ for AC voltage, V— for DC voltage, Ω for resistance, or continuity).

5.3 Kipimo cha Sasa cha AC/DC (Clamp)

To measure current using the clamp taya:

1. Rotate the function dial to A∼ (AC current) or A— (DC current).
2. For DC current measurements, press the “ZERO” button to clear any offset before clamping.
3. Fungua clamp taya kwa kubonyeza kifyatulio.
4. Enclose only one conductor within the jaw. Ensure the jaw is fully closed.
5. Soma thamani ya sasa kwenye onyesho.

5.4 AC/DC Voltage Kipimo

Kupima voltage:

1. Unganisha vidokezo vya majaribio kama ilivyoelezwa katika Sehemu ya 4.2.
2. Rotate the function dial to V∼ (AC voltage) or V— (DC voltage).
3. Unganisha probe za majaribio sambamba na saketi au sehemu unayotaka kupima.
4. Soma juzuu yatage thamani kwenye onyesho.

5.5 Kipimo cha Upinzani

Ili kupima upinzani:

1. Hakikisha saketi au sehemu imepunguzwa nguvu kabla ya kupima upinzani.
2. Unganisha vidokezo vya majaribio kama ilivyoelezwa katika Sehemu ya 4.2.
3. Rotate the function dial to Ω (resistance).
4. Unganisha probe za majaribio kwenye sehemu nzima.
5. Soma thamani ya kupinga kwenye maonyesho.

5.6 Mtihani wa Kuendelea

Ili kufanya jaribio la mwendelezo:

1. Hakikisha mzunguko au kijenzi kimeondolewa nishati.
2. Unganisha vidokezo vya majaribio kama ilivyoelezwa katika Sehemu ya 4.2.
3. Rotate the function dial to the continuity position (often shared with resistance, indicated by a speaker icon).
4. Unganisha probe za majaribio kwenye sehemu au waya.
5. The meter will emit an audible tone if continuity is detected (resistance below a certain threshold).

5.7 Zero Function (DC Measurements)

The “ZERO” button is primarily used for DC current measurements. Before taking a DC current reading, with the clamp jaw open and no conductor inside, press the “ZERO” button to eliminate any residual offset and ensure accurate readings.

5.8 Kazi ya Kushikilia Data

Press the “HOLD” button to freeze the current reading on the display. This is useful for taking readings in hard-to-see locations. Press “HOLD” again to release the reading and return to live measurement.

6. Matengenezo

6.1 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.

6.2 Ubadilishaji wa Betri

When the low battery indicator appears on the display, replace the batteries promptly to maintain measurement accuracy. Refer to Section 4.1 for battery installation instructions.

6.3 Hifadhi

If the meter is not used for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent leakage and damage. Store the meter in a dry, cool environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
