Tekpower YX-360TRe-b Analog Multimeter

1. Introduzzjoni

The Tekpower YX-360TR (also known as YX-360TReb and YX-360TRn) is a versatile analog multimeter designed for general purpose electrical testing. This device allows you to accurately measure AC/DC voltage, DC electric current, resistance, and perform diode and continuity checks. Its compact design, large mirrored scale, and built-in tilt stand make it a practical tool for various applications.

2. Informazzjoni dwar is-Sigurtà

Always observe standard safety precautions when using any electrical testing equipment. Failure to do so may result in injury or damage to the meter or equipment under test.

• Read this manual thoroughly before operation.
• Ensure the test leads are in good condition, free from cracks or damage.
• Always select the correct function and range before connecting the test leads to the circuit.
• Qatt ma tipprova tkejjel il-volumtage on a current range setting, or vice versa.
• Tużax il-miter jekk jidher li hu bil-ħsara jew jekk il-kaxxa tkun miftuħa.
• Evita li tuża l-meter fl-imxarrab jew damp kundizzjonijiet.
• Oqgħod attent meta taħdem bil-volumtages 'il fuq minn 30V AC RMS, 42V peak, jew 60V DC, għax dawn joħolqu periklu ta' xokk elettriku.
• The meter is rated for CAT II installations, meaning it is suitable for measurements performed on circuits directly connected to the low-voltage installazzjoni.

4. Setup

4.1. Installazzjoni tal-batterija

The Tekpower YX-360TRe-b requires two AA batteries for operation. These batteries are typically included with the multimeter.

1. Sib l-għatu tal-kompartiment tal-batterija fuq wara tal-multimetru.
2. Use a screwdriver to remove the screw(s) securing the cover, if present.
3. Iftaħ b'attenzjoni l-kompartiment tal-batterija.
4. Insert the two AA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+ and -) as indicated inside the compartment.
5. Erġa’ poġġi l-għatu tal-kompartiment tal-batterija u waħħalha bil-vit(i).

4.2. Konnessjoni tal-wajers tat-test

Connect the red and black test leads to the appropriate input jacks on the multimeter.

• Daħħal iċ-ċomb iswed tat-test fil- -COM (Common) jack. This is the negative terminal.
• Daħħal iċ-ċomb aħmar tat-test fil- VΩmA jack for most voltage, resistance, and current measurements (up to 250mA).
• For higher DC current measurements (up to 250mA), ensure the rotary switch is set to the appropriate DCA range.

5. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi

Before taking any measurement, ensure the meter is set to the correct function and range. If the value is unknown, start with the highest range and work downwards.

5.1. DC Voltage (DCV) Measurement

1. Set the rotary switch to the desired DCV range (e.g., 0.1V, 0.25V, 2.5V, 10V, 50V, 250V, 1000V).
2. Qabbad il-wajer tat-test aħmar man-naħa pożittiva (+) taċ-ċirkwit u l-wajer tat-test iswed man-naħa negattiva (-).
3. Aqra l-voltage value from the DCV scale on the analog display.

5.2. AC Voltage (ACV) Measurement

1. Set the rotary switch to the desired ACV range (e.g., 10V, 50V, 250V, 1000V).
2. Qabbad il-wajers tat-test mal-vultaġġ ACtagsors e.
3. Aqra l-voltage value from the ACV scale on the analog display.

5.3. DC Current (DCA) Measurement

1. Importanti: Ensure the circuit is de-energized before connecting the meter in series.
2. Set the rotary switch to the desired DCA range (e.g., 50µA, 2.5mA, 25mA, 250mA).
3. Break the circuit and connect the multimeter in series with the load. The current must flow through the meter.
4. Apply power to the circuit and read the current value from the DCA scale.

5.4. Kejl tar-Reżistenza (Ω)

1. Importanti: Kun żgur li ċ-ċirkwit jew il-komponent ma jkollux l-enerġija qabel ma tkejjel ir-reżistenza.
2. Set the rotary switch to the desired Ω range (e.g., X1, X10, X100, X1K, X10K).
3. Short the test leads together (touch the red and black probes).
4. Aġġusta l- ΩADJ (Zero Ohm Adjustment) knob until the needle points exactly to '0' on the Ohms scale.
5. Qabbad il-wajers tat-test mal-komponent li għandu jitkejjel.
6. Read the value from the Ohms scale and multiply by the range multiplier (e.g., if on X100 range and reading is 50, the resistance is 50 x 100 = 5000 Ω).

5.5. Diode Check

1. Issettja l-iswiċċ li jdur fuq Dajowd or Kontinwità function (often combined).
2. Connect the red lead to the anode and the black lead to the cathode of the diode. The meter should show a low resistance reading.
3. Reverse the leads. The meter should show a very high or infinite resistance reading.
4. For LEDs, the LED should light up when connected in the forward bias direction.

5.6. Test ta' Kontinwità

1. Issettja l-iswiċċ li jdur fuq Kontinwità funzjoni.
2. Qabbad il-wajers tat-test maċ-ċirkwit jew il-komponent li għandu jiġi ttestjat.
3. If there is continuity (low resistance), the meter will emit an audible buzzer sound and/or illuminate an LED indicator.

5.7. dB Measurement

The meter can measure decibels (dB) within a range of -10 dB to 22 dB. Refer to the specific dB scale on the analog display for readings.

6. Manutenzjoni

6.1. Sostituzzjoni tal-batterija

When the meter's readings become erratic or the display dims, it's time to replace the batteries. Follow the steps in Section 4.1 for battery installation.

6.2. Sostituzzjoni tal-fjus

The multimeter is equipped with fuse protection. If the meter stops functioning on current ranges, the fuse may need replacement. Refer to the meter's internal layout for fuse location and specifications. Always replace with a fuse of the same type and rating.

6.3. Tindif u Ħażna

Imsaħ il-marka tal-miterasing b'reklamaramp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasives or solvents. Store the meter in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for extended periods, remove the batteries to prevent leakage.
