2. Informazzjoni dwar is-Sigurtà
TWISSIJA: Electrical testing can be hazardous. Always follow safety precautions to avoid injury or damage to the device.
- Ensure the tester is in good working condition before each use.
- Tużax it-tester jekk jidher li għandu l-ħsara jew jekk il-wajers tat-test huma kompromessi.
- Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as safety glasses and insulated gloves.
- Ivverifika l-operazzjoni tat-tester fuq ċirkwit ħaj magħruf qabel ma tittestja ċirkwit mhux magħruf.
- The ET60 is rated for CAT III-600V. Do not exceed these voltage limiti.
- Do not attempt to repair or modify the device. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.

4. Konfigurazzjoni u Installazzjoni tal-Batterija
The Extech ET60 requires 2 AAA batteries for operation. These are typically included with the device.
- Locate the battery compartment cover on the back of the tester.
- Use a suitable tool (e.g., a small screwdriver) to open the battery compartment.
- Daħħal żewġ batteriji AAA, waqt li tiżgura l-polarità korretta (+/-) kif indikat ġewwa l-kompartiment.
- Agħlaq sewwa l-għatu tal-kompartiment tal-batterija.
- Test the unit by pressing the flashlight button or by performing a quick continuity check on a known circuit.
5. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi
5.1. AC Voltage Indikazzjoni
The ET60 indicates AC voltage across seven ranges. When connected to an AC circuit, the corresponding LED(s) will illuminate.
- Connect the red and black test leads to the points where AC voltage għandu jitkejjel.
- The tester will vibrate, and the LEDs corresponding to the detected voltage range will light up.
- AC voltage ranges: 24V, 120V, 208V, 240V, 277V, 480V, 600V.
- AC bandwidth: 45 to 66Hz.
5.2. DC Voltage Indikazzjoni
The ET60 indicates DC voltage across seven ranges. When connected to a DC circuit, the corresponding LED(s) will illuminate.
- Connect the red and black test leads to the points where DC voltage is to be measured, observing polarity.
- The tester will vibrate, and the LEDs corresponding to the detected voltage range will light up.
- DC voltage ranges: 6V, 12V, 24V, 36V, 48V, 110V, 220V.
5.3. Test ta' Kontinwità
The continuity test function checks for a complete electrical path between two points.
- Ensure the circuit under test is de-energized before performing a continuity test.
- Touch the red and black test leads to the two points you wish to test for continuity.
- If continuity is detected, the tester will emit an audible beep and a visual alert (LED).
5.4. Mhux ta' Kuntatt Voltage (NCV) Sejbien
The NCV feature allows for quick detection of live AC voltage without direct contact with conductors.
- Hold the NCV sensor tip (top of the tester) near the conductor or outlet you suspect is live.
- Jekk AC voltage (90 to 1000Vac) is detected, the NCV indicator will illuminate, and an audible alert may sound.
- This feature is for preliminary detection and should be confirmed with direct contact voltage kejl.
5.5. Funzjoni tat-Torċa
The built-in flashlight assists in illuminating dark work areas.
- Press the flashlight button (if present, or refer to device markings) to turn the flashlight on or off.
6. Manutenzjoni
- Tindif: Wipe the tester with a dry, clean cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Sostituzzjoni tal-batterija: Replace batteries when the low battery indicator appears or if the tester's performance degrades. Refer to Section 4 for battery installation.
- Ħażna: Store the tester in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Remove batteries if storing for extended periods to prevent leakage.
- Spezzjoni: Regularly inspect the test leads and housing for any signs of damage, cracks, or frayed insulation. Do not use a damaged tester.
7 Issolvi l-problemi
| Problema | Kawża Possibbli | Soluzzjoni |
|---|---|---|
| It-tester ma jixgħelx. | Batteriji mejta jew installati ħażin. | Ibdel il-batteriji, waqt li tiżgura l-polarità korretta. |
| Vol mhux preċiżtage qari. | Low battery, damaged leads, or incorrect application. | Replace batteries. Inspect leads for damage. Ensure proper contact with the circuit. |
| It-test tal-kontinwità jfalli fuq ċirkwit magħruf li jaħdem tajjeb. | Low battery, poor contact, or internal fault. | Replace batteries. Ensure firm contact with test points. If problem persists, contact support. |
| L-NCV mhux qed jiskopri l-volumtage. | Voltage too low, shielded wire, or NCV sensor not positioned correctly. | Tiżgura voltage is within 90-1000Vac range. Try different angles. Confirm with direct contact measurement. |
