Hioki DT4252 Standard Digital Multimeter User Manual

1. Introduzzjoni

This manual provides essential instructions for the safe and effective use of the Hioki DT4252 Standard Digital Multimeter. The DT4252 is a True-RMS digital multimeter designed for general electrical applications, offering measurements for AC/DC voltage, AC/DC current, resistance, continuity, diode, capacitance, and frequency. Please read this manual thoroughly before operation to ensure correct usage and to prevent accidents.

2. Informazzjoni dwar is-Sigurtà

Always observe the following safety precautions to prevent electric shock, injury, or damage to the instrument.

• Tużax il-multimetru jekk jidher li huwa bil-ħsara jew jekk il-wajers tat-test huma bil-ħsara.
• Verify the function switch is in the correct position for the measurement being performed.
• Do not exceed the maximum input ratings for any function. The DT4252 is rated for 1000V AC/DC and 10A direct input.
• Oqgħod attent meta taħdem bil-voltag'il fuq minn 30V AC RMS, 42V peak, jew 60V DC. Dawn il-volumitages joħolqu periklu ta' xokk.
• Always connect the common (COM) test lead first and disconnect it last.
• Ensure your hands are dry and use insulated gloves when necessary.
• Ibdel il-batteriji minnufih meta jidher l-indikatur ta’ batterija baxxa.
• Do not attempt to measure current on a circuit with voltage present without proper precautions and understanding of the circuit.

Insert the test leads into the appropriate input terminals:

• Dejjem qabbad il-wajer tat-test iswed mal- COM terminali.
• Għal voltage, resistance, continuity, diode, capacitance, and frequency measurements, connect the red test lead to the V Ω •))) →|← •F Hz terminali.
• For current measurements (up to 10A), connect the red test lead to the A terminali.

6. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi

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

6.1. Kejl tal-Volum AC/DCtage (V~ / V-)

1. Issettja l-iswiċċ li jdur għal V~ għal AC voltage jew V- għal DC voltage.
2. Connect the test leads in parallel across the circuit or component to be measured.
3. Aqra l-voltagIl-valur fuq il-wiri.

8 Issolvi l-problemi

If the multimeter does not operate correctly, check the following common issues:

• Ebda Display: Iċċekkja l-installazzjoni tal-batterija u l-livell tal-iċċarġjar. Ibdel il-batteriji jekk meħtieġ.
• Qari Skorrett: Ensure the function switch is set correctly for the measurement type. Verify test lead connections. Check for damaged test leads.
• Wiri "OL" (Tagħbija żejda): Il-valur imkejjel jaqbeż il-medda magħżula. Aqleb għal medda ogħla jew kun żgur li l-input huwa fi ħdan l-ispeċifikazzjonijiet tal-miter.
• Il-Kejl tal-Kurrent Mhux Jaħdem: Check the 10A fuse. If blown, it needs replacement by qualified personnel.

For persistent issues, contact Hioki customer support.
