5.2 Funzjonijiet tal-Kejl

5.2.1 AC/DC Voltage Kejl

1. Dawwar l-arloġġ li jdur għal V~ (Volum ACtage) jew V- (DC Voltagu).
2. Connect the black test lead to the COM terminal and the red test lead to the VΩHzCAP terminal.
3. Carefully touch the test probes to the points where voltage is to be measured (in parallel with the circuit).
4. Aqra l-voltagIl-valur fuq il-wiri.

5.2.2 Kejl tal-Kurrent AC/DC

Attenzjoni: Always ensure the circuit is de-energized before connecting the multimeter in series for current measurements. Incorrect connection can blow the fuse or damage the meter.

1. Dawwar l-arloġġ li jdur għal A~ (Kurrent AC) jew A- (DC Current).
2. Qabbad iċ-ċomb iswed tat-test mat-terminal COM.
3. Għal kurrenti sa 400mA, qabbad il-wajer tat-test aħmar mal- mA/A terminal. For currents up to 10A, connect the red test lead to the 10A FUSED terminali.
4. Iftaħ iċ-ċirkwit fejn se titkejjel il-kurrent u qabbad il-multimetru f'serje.

7 Issolvi l-problemi

• Ebda Display: Iċċekkja l-installazzjoni u l-iċċarġjar tal-batterija. Ibdel il-batteriji jekk meħtieġ.
• Qari Skorrett: Ensure test leads are correctly connected to the appropriate input jacks for the selected function. Verify the rotary dial is set to the correct measurement function. Check for damaged test leads.
• Il-Kejl tal-Kurrent Mhux Jaħdem: Check the fuse. Replace if blown (refer to Section 6.3). Ensure the red test lead is in the correct current input jack.
• Wiri "OL": This typically means "Overload" or "Open Loop." For resistance, it indicates an open circuit. For diode test, it indicates a reverse-biased good diode. For voltage/current, it means the measured value exceeds the selected range (if not in auto-range) or the meter's maximum capability.
