Komponenti Ewlenin:

• Wirja Diġitali: Shows measurement readings, units, and mode indicators.
• Buttuna POWER: Ixgħel jew jitfi l-apparat.
• Buttuna ŻOMM: Jiffriża l-qari attwali fuq id-displej.
• Buttuna REC: Activates data recording functions (e.g., Max/Min values).
• Buttuna ZERO: Resets the reading to zero for relative measurements.
• MODE (DC/AC SET) Button: Switches between DC (direct current) and AC (alternating current) magnetic field measurement modes. Also used for setting parameters.
• Probe Input: Port for connecting the separate measurement probe.
• Kompartiment tal-batterija: Jinsab fuq wara għall-installazzjoni tal-batterija.
• Kickstand: Stand integrat fuq wara għal konvenjenza viewing.

5. Setup

5.1. Installazzjoni tal-batterija

1. Locate the battery compartment cover on the back of the device (refer to Figure 4.2).
2. Slide or unscrew the cover to open the compartment.
3. Insert the required batteries, observing the correct polarity (+/-) as indicated inside the compartment.
4. Ibdel l-għatu tal-kompartiment tal-batterija b'mod sikur.

5.2. Konnessjoni tas-Sonda

1. Identify the probe input port on the main unit.
2. Carefully insert the connector of the separate probe (Figure 4.3) into the probe input port until it clicks into place.
3. Ensure the connection is firm to prevent intermittent readings.

6. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi

6.1. Tixgħil / Mitfi

• Agħfas il- QAWWA button to turn the device on. The display will illuminate.
• Biex itfi l-apparat, agħfas u żomm il- QAWWA buttuna sakemm il-wiri jintefa.

6.2. Selecting Measurement Mode (DC/AC)

• Wara li tixgħel, agħfas il-buttuna MODE (DC/AC SET) button to toggle between DC (Direct Current) and AC (Alternating Current) magnetic field measurement modes.
• The selected mode will be indicated on the display.

6.3. Tieħu Kejl

1. Select the appropriate measurement mode (DC or AC).
2. Position the tip of the separate probe near the magnetic field source you wish to measure.
3. Read the magnetic field strength value displayed on the screen. The unit of measurement (e.g., Gauss or Tesla) will also be shown.

6.4. Using the ZERO Function

• To perform a relative measurement or compensate for ambient magnetic fields, press the ŻERO buttuna.
• The display will show '0' or a very small value, allowing you to measure changes from that baseline.

6.5. L-Użu tal-Funzjoni HOLD

• Waqt kejl, agħfas il- ŻOMM button to freeze the current reading on the display.
• Agħfas ŻOMM again to release the reading and resume live measurements.

6.6. Using the REC (Record) Function

• Agħfas il- REC button to activate the recording mode. The device may display 'MAX' or 'MIN' indicators.
• The device will continuously monitor and store the maximum and minimum magnetic field values detected.
• Agħfas REC again to cycle through MAX, MIN, and exit recording mode.

7. Manutenzjoni

7.1. Tindif

• Wipe the device and probe with a soft, dry cloth.
• Għal ħmieġ iebsa, uża ftit damp cloth with mild detergent, then dry thoroughly.
• Tużax prodotti tat-tindif li joborxu, solventi, jew kimiċi ħarxa.

7.2. Sostituzzjoni tal-batterija

• When the low battery indicator appears on the display, replace the batteries promptly.
• Segwi l-passi tal-installazzjoni tal-batterija deskritti fit-Taqsima 5.1.
