Setup

Installazzjoni tal-batterija

The Digitech QM1563 requires 2 AAA batteries (included). To install or replace batteries:

1. Żgura li l-clampmeter is turned OFF.
2. Sib l-għatu tal-kompartiment tal-batterija fuq wara tal-unità.
3. Uża tornavit biex tħoll il-vit(i) li jassiguraw l-għatu.
4. Neħħi l-għatu u daħħal it-2 batteriji AAA, waqt li tosserva l-polarità korretta (+/-) kif indikat ġewwa l-kompartiment.
5. Erġa' poġġi l-għatu tal-kompartiment tal-batterija u ssikka l-vit(i).

Qawwa Inizjali Mixgħula

After battery installation, turn the rotary function switch from OFF to any measurement function. The display should illuminate, indicating the meter is ready for use.

Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi

Operazzjoni Ġenerali

• Power On/Off: Rotate the function switch from OFF to the desired measurement function to turn on. Rotate back to OFF to turn off.
• Itfi Awtomatiku: The meter will automatically power off after approximately 15 minutes of inactivity. Press any button or rotate the function switch to reactivate.
• Żamma tad-Data: Agħfas il- ŻOMM buttuna biex tiffriża l-qari attwali fuq id-displej. Agħfas mill-ġdid biex tirrilaxxa.
• Modalità Relattiva (REL): Agħfas il- REL button to store the current reading as a reference. Subsequent readings will show the difference from this reference. Press again to exit relative mode.
• Function Selection (MODE/Hz%): For functions with multiple sub-modes (e.g., AC/DC current, voltage, or frequency/duty cycle), press the MODALITÀ or Hz% buttuna biex tgħaddi minnhom.

Kejl tal-Kurrent (AC/DC)

Uża l-clamp jaws for non-contact current measurement.

1. Dawwar is-swiċċ tal-funzjoni għall- 40A AC/DC or 400A AC/DC pożizzjoni.
2. Agħfas il- MODALITÀ button to select between AC (~) or DC (---) current.
3. Iftaħ il-clamp xedaq billi tagħfas il-grillu.
4. Enclose only one conductor within the jaws. Ensure the jaws are fully closed.
5. Aqra l-valur attwali fuq id-displej.

VoltagKejl elettroniku (AC/DC)

Connect test leads to the input jacks.

1. Daħħal iċ-ċomb iswed tat-test fil- COM jack u ċ-ċomb aħmar tat-test fil- V/Temp Ω/CAP jack.

Use the included temperature probe.

1. Dawwar is-swiċċ tal-funzjoni għall- ° C / ° F pożizzjoni.
2. Insert the temperature probe into the input jacks, observing polarity.
3. Poġġi l-ponta tas-sonda fuq jew viċin l-oġġett li t-temperatura tiegħu trid titkejjel.
4. Aqra l-valur tat-temperatura fuq id-displej. Agħfas MODALITÀ biex taqleb bejn Celsius u Fahrenheit.

Test tad-Dijodu u Kontinwità

1. Connect test leads as for voltage kejl.
2. Dawwar is-swiċċ tal-funzjoni għall- Ω pożizzjoni.
3. Agħfas il- MODALITÀ button to cycle to Diode Test (→| symbol) or Continuity (♫ simbolu).
4. For Diode Test: Connect probes across the diode. A good diode will show a voltage drop in one direction and open in the other.
5. For Continuity: Connect probes across the circuit. An audible beep indicates continuity (low resistance).

Manutenzjoni

Tindif

Imsaħ il-miter b'reklamaramp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasives or solvents. Ensure the meter is dry before storage or use.

Sostituzzjoni tal-batterija

Refer to the "Battery Installation" section under Setup. Replace batteries when the low battery indicator appears on the display.

Ħażna

Jekk il-miter ma jkunx se jintuża għal perjodu twil ta’ żmien, neħħi l-batteriji biex tevita t-tnixxija. Aħżen il-miter f’post frisk u niexef, ’il bogħod mix-xemx diretta u minn temperaturi estremi.
