5. Setup

5.1 Installazzjoni tal-batterija

1. Sib l-għatu tal-kompartiment tal-batterija fuq wara tal-miter.
2. Use a screwdriver to loosen the screw(s) and remove the cover.
3. Insert the two LR44 batteries, observing the correct polarity (+/-) as indicated inside the compartment.
4. Erġa’ poġġi l-għatu tal-batterija u waħħalha bil-vit(i).

5.2 Konnessjoni tal-wajers tat-test

Insert the banana plugs of the test leads into the appropriate input jacks on the meter. For most measurements, the common (COM) jack will be used with the black lead, and the V1, V2, V3, or A jacks will be used with the colored leads (red, yellow, green) depending on the measurement type and phase configuration.

5.3 USB/RS232 Interface Setup

To connect the meter to a computer for data logging and analysis:

1. Install the provided PC data record graph software from the CD-ROM onto your Windows OS computer.
2. Connect one end of the RS232 interface cable to the meter's RS232 port.
3. Connect the other end of the cable to an available USB port on your computer (an RS232-to-USB adapter may be required if your computer lacks an RS232 port).
