2. Informazzjoni dwar is-Sigurtà
To ensure safe operation and prevent electric shock or personal injury, always adhere to the following safety guidelines:
- Read and understand all instructions before using the meter.
- Tużax il-miter jekk jidher li huwa bil-ħsara jew jekk il-wajers tat-test huma bil-ħsara.
- Verify the meter's operation on a known voltage source before use.
- Aderixxi mal-kodiċijiet tas-sigurtà lokali u nazzjonali.
- Always use the meter within its specified measurement categories and voltage/current limits. The Fluke 302+ has a CAT IV 300 V / CAT III 600 V safety rating.
- Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as safety glasses and insulated gloves, when working with electrical circuits.
- Applikax aktar mill-vol nominalitage, kif immarkat fuq il-meter, bejn it-terminals jew bejn kwalunkwe terminal u ground ground.
- Oqgħod attent meta taħdem bil-voltag'il fuq minn 30 V AC RMS, 42 V peak, jew 60 V DC. Dawn il-volumitages joħolqu periklu ta' xokk.
- Remove test leads from the meter before opening the battery compartment.
3. X'hemm fil-Kaxxa
Upon unpacking your Fluke 302+ Digital Clamp Meter, ensure all the following items are present:
- Fluke 302+ Clamp Miter
- Fluke TL75 Hard Point Test Leads (one red, one black)
- Two AA batteries (pre-installed or included separately)

4. Setup
4.1. Installazzjoni tal-batterija
The Fluke 302+ requires two AA batteries for operation. These are typically included. If batteries need replacement or initial installation:
- Kun żgur li l-miter ikun MITFI.
- Sib l-għatu tal-kompartiment tal-batterija fuq wara tal-miter.
- Uża tornavit biex tħoll il-kamin li jżomm l-għatu.
- Remove the cover and insert the two AA batteries, observing correct polarity (+ and -).
- Erġa’ poġġi l-għatu tal-kompartiment tal-batterija u ssikka l-vit sew.
4.2. Konnessjoni tal-wajers tat-test
Għal voltage, resistance, continuity, and capacitance measurements, connect the test leads as follows:
- Insert the black test lead into the COM (common) input jack.
- Insert the red test lead into the VΩCAP input jack.
5. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi
The Fluke 302+ features a rotary dial to select measurement functions. Always ensure the meter is set to the correct function before making a measurement.
5.1. Kejl tal-Kurrent AC (Clamp)
To measure AC current up to 400 A using the clamp xedaq:
- Dawwar l-arloġġ li jdur lejn il- ∽A (AC Current) position.
- Iftaħ il-clamp jaw by pressing the lever.
- Encircle only one conductor with the clamp xedaq. Kun żgur li x-xedaq ikun magħluq għalkollox.
- Read the AC current value on the display.

5.2. AC/DC Voltage Kejl
Biex tkejjel AC jew DC voltage up to 600 V:
- Qabbad il-wajers tat-test kif deskritt fit-Taqsima 4.2.
- Dawwar l-arloġġ li jdur lejn il- V∽ (Volum ACtage) jew V— (DC Voltage) pożizzjoni.
- Touch the test probes to the test points of the circuit.
- Aqra l-voltagIl-valur fuq il-wiri.
5.3. Kejl tar-Reżistenza
Biex tkejjel ir-reżistenza:
- Qabbad il-wajers tat-test kif deskritt fit-Taqsima 4.2.
- Dawwar l-arloġġ li jdur lejn il- Ω Pożizzjoni (ta' Reżistenza).
- Ensure the circuit under test is de-energized.
- Miss il-probi tat-test tul il-komponent jew iċ-ċirkwit li għandu jitkejjel.
- Aqra l-valur tar-reżistenza fuq il-wiri.
5.4. Kejl ta' Kontinwità
To check for circuit continuity:
- Qabbad il-wajers tat-test kif deskritt fit-Taqsima 4.2.
- Dawwar l-arloġġ li jdur lejn il- Ω (Resistance) position and press the 'HOLD' button to cycle to continuity mode (indicated by a speaker icon).
- Ensure the circuit under test is de-energized.
- Miss il-probi tat-test tul iċ-ċirkwit jew il-komponent.
- The meter will beep if continuity is detected (low resistance).
5.5. Kejl tal-Kapaċitanza
Biex tkejjel il-kapaċità:
- Qabbad il-wajers tat-test kif deskritt fit-Taqsima 4.2.
- Dawwar l-arloġġ li jdur lejn il- KAP Pożizzjoni (Kapaċità).
- Kun żgur li l-kapaċitatur ikun skarikat kompletament qabel il-kejl.
