5. Setup

5.1. Installazzjoni tal-batterija

The Fluke 77-4 is powered by a 9V battery. To install or replace the battery:

1. Kun żgur li l-multimetru huwa MITFI.
2. Locate the battery compartment cover on the rear of the multimeter.
3. Uża tornavit biex tħoll il-vit(i) li jassiguraw l-għatu.
4. Remove the cover and insert a new 9V battery, observing correct polarity.
5. Replace the cover and tighten the screw(s).

5.2. Konnessjoni tal-wajers tat-test

Always connect the black test lead to the COM jack. Connect the red test lead to the appropriate input jack for your measurement:

• VΩHz: Għal voltage, resistance, continuity, diode, and frequency measurements.
• mA: Għal kejl tal-kurrent sa 400mA.
• 10A: Għal kejl tal-kurrent sa 10A.

6. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi

Before taking any measurement, ensure the test leads are correctly connected and the function dial is set to the appropriate position.

6.1. Measuring AC/DC Voltage

1. Turn the rotary dial to V~ (AC Voltage) or V (DC Voltagu).
2. Qabbad il-wajer tat-test iswed mal-jack COM u l-wajer tat-test aħmar mal-jack VΩHz.
3. Tmiss il-probi tat-test mal-punti taċ-ċirkwit fejn il-volumtage għandu jitkejjel.
4. Aqra l-voltagIl-valur fuq il-wiri.

6.2. Measuring Resistance (Ohms)

1. Kun żgur li ċ-ċirkwit ma jkollux l-enerġija qabel ma tkejjel ir-reżistenza.
2. Turn the rotary dial to Ω.
3. Qabbad il-wajer tat-test iswed mal-jack COM u l-wajer tat-test aħmar mal-jack VΩHz.
4. Touch the test probes across the component or circuit segment.
5. Aqra l-valur tar-reżistenza fuq il-wiri.

6.3. Measuring Current (Amperes)

Attenzjoni: Current measurements require breaking the circuit and inserting the multimeter in series. Incorrect connection can blow the fuse or damage the meter.

1. Neħħi l-enerġija taċ-ċirkwit.
2. Determine the expected current range. For currents up to 400mA, turn the dial to mA and connect the red lead to the mA jack. For currents up to 10A, turn the dial to A and connect the red lead to the 10A jack.
3. Qabbad iċ-ċomb iswed tat-test mal-jack COM.
4. Break the circuit and connect the test probes in series with the load.
5. Erġa' agħti l-enerġija liċ-ċirkwit u aqra l-valur tal-kurrent.
6. De-energize the circuit before disconnecting the multimeter.

6.4. Using HOLD, MINMAX, and RANGE Functions

• ŻOMM: Press the HOLD button to freeze the current reading on the display. Press again to release.
• MINMAX: Press the MINMAX button to activate recording. The meter will display the maximum, minimum, and average readings sequentially. Press again to cycle through Min, Max, Avg. Hold the button to exit.
• FIRXA: In auto-ranging modes, the meter automatically selects the best range. Press RANGE to switch to manual ranging. Each subsequent press will cycle through available ranges. Hold the button to return to auto-ranging.

7. Manutenzjoni

7.1. Tindif

Imsaħ il-każ bl-adamp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasives or solvents. Ensure the multimeter is dry before use.
