4. Setup

The VOLTCRAFT VC-310 is designed for immediate use. Please ensure the device is in good condition before operation.

4.1. Battery Installation (If Applicable)

While the product specifications indicate batteries are not required, digital displays typically need power. If your device requires batteries, locate the battery compartment on the back of the unit. Open it, insert the correct type and number of batteries (e.g., AAA or AA, typically 2x), observing polarity. Close the compartment securely. Refer to the device markings for specific battery requirements.

4.2. Spezzjoni Inizjali

Before first use, visually inspect the clamp meter for any physical damage, cracks in the casing, or loose parts. Ensure the clamp jaws open and close smoothly.

5. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi

The VOLTCRAFT VC-310 is primarily used for non-contact measurement of alternating current (AC).

5.1. Measuring AC Current

1. Qawwa Mixgħul: Rotate the function/range selector dial from "OFF" to the desired AC current range (2A~, 20A~, or 200A~). If the current value is unknown, start with the highest range (200A~) and decrease if necessary for better resolution.
2. Open Jaws: Agħfas il-grillu biex tiftaħ il-clamp xedaq.
3. Clamp Around Conductor: Pożizzjona l-cl bir-reqqaamp jaws around a single conductor (wire) through which the AC current flows. Ensure the jaws are fully closed around the conductor. Do not clamp around multiple conductors, as this will result in an inaccurate reading (the magnetic fields will cancel each other out).
4. Aqra l-Kejl: The AC current value will be displayed on the LCD.
5. Funzjoni HOLD: Agħfas il- ŻOMM button to freeze the current reading on the display. Press it again to release.
6. MAXH Function: Agħfas il- MAXH button to capture and display the maximum measured value. Press it again to exit MAXH mode.
7. Dawl ta' wara: Press the backlight button (often indicated by a light bulb icon) to illuminate the display in low-light conditions.
8. Itfi: After measurement, rotate the function/range selector dial back to the "OFF" position to conserve power.

Importanti: For accurate non-contact current measurement, the clamp jaws must enclose only one conductor. Measuring around a power cord containing both live and neutral wires will result in a near-zero reading due to opposing magnetic fields.

6. Manutenzjoni

6.1. Tindif

Wipe the device regularly with a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure no moisture enters the device.

6.2. Ħażna

When not in use for extended periods, store the clamp meter in a dry, dust-free environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If applicable, remove batteries before long-term storage.
