2. Informazzjoni dwar is-Sigurtà
WARNING: Always read and understand all safety warnings and instructions before operating this device. Failure to do so may result in electric shock, fire, or serious injury.
- This device conforms to IEC61010, double insulation, and CAT III 600V safety standards.
- Always ensure the device is set to the correct measurement function and range before connecting to a circuit.
- Do not attempt to measure current on both live and neutral wires simultaneously with the clamp jaw, as this will result in a zero reading. Only clamp around a single conductor.
- Evita kuntatt ma' ċirkwiti li jkunu għaddejjin. Uża tagħmir protettiv personali (PPE) xieraq.
- Tħaddimx il-miter jekk jidher li hu bil-ħsara jew jekk il-wajers tat-test huma bil-ħsara.
- Refer to the full user manual for complete safety guidelines and warnings.

A low battery indicator will appear on the LCD when batteries need replacement.
4. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi
The Crenova 606C+ offers a wide range of measurement capabilities. Familiarize yourself with the function dial and buttons for optimal use.
4.1. Funzjoni Matulview
Figura 4.1: Aktarview of the multipurpose functions available on the Crenova 606C+.
The meter features a 6000-count large LCD with backlight for clear readings, even in dark environments. A built-in torch further aids visibility. Key functions include:
- AC/DC Current (up to 600A): Measured using the clamp xedaq.
- AC / DC Voltage (up to 600V): Measured using test leads.
- Resistance (up to 60MΩ): Measured using test leads.
- Capacitance (up to 6mF): Measured using test leads.
- Frequency (up to 10MHz): Measured using test leads.
- Ċiklu ta' ħidma: Measured using test leads.
- Test ta' Kontinwità: Audible alarm for continuous circuits.
- Test tad-Diode: Għall-iċċekkjar tal-funzjonalità tad-dijodi.
- Mhux Kuntatt Voltage (NCV) Detection (48V to 250V AC): Jiskopri AC voltage mingħajr kuntatt dirett.
- Live Wire Test (110V to 380V AC): Identifies live wires with an audible alarm.
- Inrush (INR) Current Measurement: Measures the initial surge of current when a device is turned on.
- Temperature Measurement (-4°F to 1832°F / -20°C to 1000°C): Requires the K-type thermocouple.
- LowZ Mode: Tests AC voltage with low impedance to reduce false readings from ghost voltage.
- V.F.C Button: Long press to enable the low pass filter for specific requirements.
- REL (Relative) Mode: Ikejjel id-differenza minn valur ta' referenza.
- HOLD (Data Hold) Mode: Jiffriża l-qari attwali fuq id-displej.
- ZERO Mode: Zeros the meter for accurate readings.
4.2. Current Measurement (Clamp Xedaq)
Il-clamp jaw allows for non-contact measurement of AC/DC current up to 600A. The maximum allowed diameter of the measured wire is 25mm (1.38 inches).
Figure 4.2: The large jaw opening (1.38"/35mm) for non-contact measurements.
Biex tkejjel il-kurrent:
- Turn the function dial to the appropriate AC A or DC A range (e.g., 600A). If unsure, start with the higher range.
- Iftaħ il-clamp xedaq billi tagħfas il-grillu.
- Poġġi l-clamp jaw around a waħdieni conductor of the circuit you wish to measure. Ensure the jaw is fully closed. Nota: Clamping around both live and neutral wires will result in a zero reading as the currents cancel each other out.

4.3. Mhux ta' Kuntatt Voltage (NCV) and Live Wire Test
Il-funzjoni NCV tippermetti skoperta rapida tal-volum tal-ACtage without direct contact, providing an audible alarm. The Live Wire Test identifies live wires within a specific voltagfirxa e.
Figure 4.4: NCV detection range is AC 48V ~ 250V. Higher voltage results in louder, faster beeps.
4.4. Kejl tat-Temperatura
Utilize the included K-type thermocouple to measure temperature across a wide range.
Figure 4.5: The meter can measure temperature from -4°F to 1832°F (-20°C to 1000°C).
4.5. User-Friendly Features
The 606C+ is designed for ease of use, featuring a bright torch and backlight for working in dimly lit areas, and an auto power-off function to conserve battery life.

- Qari mhux eżatt:
- Ensure the correct function and range are selected.
- For current measurements, ensure the clamp is around a single conductor only.
- Check test lead connections for proper seating.
- Consider external interference if readings are erratic.
- "OL" jew Indikazzjoni ta' Tagħbija żejda: The measured value exceeds the selected range. Switch to a higher range or verify the circuit.
- Ebda Ħoss ta' Kontinwità: Ensure the circuit is de-energized and the test leads are making good contact.
