Thank you for choosing the Mastech MS2115B True RMS Digital Clamp Meter. This instrument is designed for safe and accurate measurement of various electrical parameters. This manual provides essential information for the proper and safe operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of your device. Please read this manual thoroughly before use and retain it for future reference.
2. Informazzjoni dwar is-Sigurtà
To ensure safe operation and service of the meter, follow these safety precautions:
- Dejjem żomm mal-kodiċijiet tas-sigurtà lokali u nazzjonali.
- Tużax il-miter jekk jidher li hu bil-ħsara jew jekk l-insulazzjoni fuq il-wajers tat-test tkun kompromessa.
- Qatt ma tapplika aktar mill-vol nominalitage, as marked on the meter, between terminals or between any terminal and ground.
- Uża kawtela kbira meta taħdem bil-voltages above 60V DC or 30V AC RMS. These voltages joħolqu periklu ta' xokk.
- Keep your fingers behind the probe barriers when making measurements.
- Disconnect the test leads from the circuit before changing functions.
- Neħħi l-wajers tat-test mill-miter qabel ma tiftaħ l-għatu tal-batterija.
- Replace the battery as soon as the low battery indicator appears to avoid incorrect readings.
- Tħaddimx il-miter f'ambjenti b'gass, fwar jew trab splussiv.
- Żgura li l-clamp jaw is fully closed when taking current measurements.
