2. Informazzjoni dwar is-Sigurtà

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

• Dejjem żomm mal-kodiċijiet tas-sigurtà lokali u nazzjonali.
• Tużax il-miter jekk ikun bil-ħsara jew jekk ikun qed jaħdem b'mod mhux normali.
• Kun żgur li s-swiċċ tal-funzjoni jkun fil-pożizzjoni korretta għall-kejl li qed jitwettaq.
• Applikax aktar mill-vol nominalitage, kif immarkat fuq il-meter, bejn it-terminals jew bejn kwalunkwe terminal u ground ground.
• 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.
• 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 circuit before opening the battery cover.
• Ibdel il-batteriji meta jidher l-indikatur ta' batterija baxxa biex tiżgura qari preċiż.

4. Setup

4.1 Installazzjoni tal-batterija

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. Sib l-għatu tal-kompartiment tal-batterija fuq wara tal-miter.
3. Uża tornavit biex tħoll il-vit(i) li jassiguraw l-għatu.
4. Remove the cover and insert the required batteries, observing correct polarity (+/-).
5. Replace the battery cover and tighten the screw(s).

4.2 Konnessjoni tal-wajer tat-test

Għal 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. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi

5.1 Tixgħel/Jitfi

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 Għażla tal-Funzjoni

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 Kejl tal-Kurrent AC/DC (Clamp)

To measure current using the clamp xedaq:

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. Iftaħ il-clamp xedaq billi tagħfas il-grillu.
4. Enclose only one conductor within the jaw. Ensure the jaw is fully closed.
5. Aqra l-valur attwali fuq id-displej.

5.4 AC/DC Voltage Kejl

Biex tkejjel il-voltage:

1. Qabbad il-wajers tat-test kif deskritt fit-Taqsima 4.2.
2. Rotate the function dial to V∼ (AC voltage) or V— (DC voltagu).
3. Qabbad il-probi tat-test b'mod parallel maċ-ċirkwit jew il-komponent li tixtieq tkejjel.
4. Aqra l-voltagIl-valur fuq il-wiri.

5.5 Kejl tar-Reżistenza

Biex tkejjel ir-reżistenza:

1. Kun żgur li ċ-ċirkwit jew il-komponent ma jkollux l-enerġija qabel ma tkejjel ir-reżistenza.
2. Qabbad il-wajers tat-test kif deskritt fit-Taqsima 4.2.
3. Rotate the function dial to Ω (resistance).
4. Qabbad il-probi tat-test mal-komponent.
5. Aqra l-valur tar-reżistenza fuq il-wiri.

5.6 Test ta' Kontinwità

Biex twettaq test tal-kontinwità:

1. Kun żgur li ċ-ċirkwit jew il-komponent ma jkollux l-enerġija.
2. Qabbad il-wajers tat-test kif deskritt fit-Taqsima 4.2.
3. Rotate the function dial to the continuity position (often shared with resistance, indicated by a speaker icon).
4. Connect the test probes across the component or wire.
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 Funzjoni ta' Żamma tad-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. Manutenzjoni

6.1 Tindif

To clean the meter, wipe it with a damp drapp u deterġent ħafif. Tużax abrażivi jew solventi. Kun żgur li l-miter ikun niexef għalkollox qabel l-użu.

6.2 Sostituzzjoni tal-batterija

Meta l-indikatur ta' batterija baxxa jidher fuq id-displej, ibdel il-batteriji minnufih biex iżżomm l-eżattezza tal-kejl. Irreferi għat-Taqsima 4.1 għal struzzjonijiet dwar l-installazzjoni tal-batteriji.

6.3 Ħażna

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.
