2. Informazzjoni dwar is-Sigurtà
Dejjem segwi l-prekawzjonijiet ta' sigurtà li ġejjin biex tevita korriment personali jew ħsara lill-multimetru:
- Do not exceed the maximum input limits for any measurement range.
- Oqgħod attent ħafna meta taħdem bil-voltag'il fuq minn 30V AC RMS, 42V peak, jew 60V DC. Dawn il-volumitages joħolqu periklu ta' xokk.
- Dejjem skonnettja l-enerġija miċ-ċirkwit u armi l-kurrent kollu ta' vultaġġ għoli.tagIl-kapaċitaturi e qabel ma twettaq testijiet tar-reżistenza, tal-kontinwità, jew tad-dijodi.
- Ensure the test leads are in good condition, without any damaged insulation.
- Tħaddimx il-multimetru jekk jidher li huwa bil-ħsara jew jekk il-kaxxa tkun miftuħa.
- Use the correct function and range for each measurement.
- Żomm subgħajk wara l-protezzjonijiet tas-swaba' fuq il-probes tat-test waqt il-kejl.
- Do not use the multimeter in wet environments or in the presence of explosive gases or dust.
- Il-Vol Mhux Kuntatttage (NCV) function is for indication only; always verify voltage presence with direct measurement.
