- Clamp Machwa: For non-contact AC/DC current measurement.
- Kadran Seleksyon Fonksyon: To select measurement modes (A~, A=, V~, V=, Ω/Continuity, OFF).
- Ekspozisyon LCD: Montre lekti mezi, inite, ak endikatè.
- Bouton: AC/DC, ZERO, H/MAX (Data Hold/Max Hold).
- Antre Tèminal: COM (common) and VΩ (voltage/resistance) for test leads.
- Gad men: Provides protection against accidental contact.
4. Enstalasyon
4.1 Enstalasyon batri
The PeakTech P 3131 requires two 1.5V AAA batteries (included). To install or replace batteries:
- Asire w ke aparèy la etenn.
- Jwenn kouvèti konpatiman pil la sou dèyè mèt la.
- Sèvi ak yon tournevis pou louvri lòj la.
- Insert the two AAA batteries, observing correct polarity (+ and -).
- Ranplase kouvèti lòj batri a epi an sekirite li ak vis la.
When the low battery indicator appears on the display, replace the batteries immediately to ensure accurate measurements.
4.2 Konekte fil tès yo
Pou voltage, resistance, and continuity measurements, connect the supplied test leads:
- Mete plon tès nwa a nan COM tèminal antre (komen).
- Mete plon wouj tès la nan VΩ tèminal opinyon.

5. Operasyon Enstriksyon
5.1 Power On/Off
Rotate the function selector dial from the "OFF" position to any desired measurement function to power on the meter. To power off, rotate the dial back to "OFF". The meter features an automatic power-off function (can be deactivated) to conserve battery life.
5.2 Mezi Kouran AC/DC (Clamp)
To measure current without breaking the circuit:
- Vire bouton seleksyon fonksyon an sou A~ (Kouran AC) oubyen A= pozisyon (kouran DC).
- Peze a AC/DC button if you need to switch between AC and DC current modes (if the dial position combines them).
- Peze a ZERO button to zero the display before measuring DC current, especially for small currents, to compensate for residual magnetism.
- Louvri cl laamp machwè a lè w peze deklanche a.
- Enclose only youn conductor with the clamp jaw. Ensure the jaw is fully closed.
- Li valè aktyèl la sou ekspozisyon LCD a.

5.3 AC/DC Voltage Mezi
Pou mezire voltage:
- Konekte fil tès yo jan sa dekri nan Seksyon 4.2 la.
- Vire bouton seleksyon fonksyon an sou V~ (Volim AC)tage) oswa V= (DC Voltage) pozisyon.
- Konekte sond tès yo an paralèl ak sikwi a oswa konpozan ou vle mezire a.
- Li voltage valè sou ekspozisyon LCD a.
5.4 Mezi Rezistans ak Kontinuite
To measure resistance or check for continuity:
- Konekte fil tès yo jan sa dekri nan Seksyon 4.2 la.
- Vire bouton seleksyon fonksyon an sou Ω/))) (Resistance/Continuity) position.
- For resistance: Connect the test probes across the component. Ensure the circuit is de-energized.
- For continuity: Touch the test probes to the two points you want to check. A continuous beep indicates a low-resistance path (continuity).
- Li valè rezistans lan sou ekran LCD a.
5.5 Fonksyon espesyal
- Vrè RMS: The meter measures True Root Mean Square values for AC voltage ak aktyèl, bay lekti egzat pou fòm ond ki pa sinisoyidal.
- Data Hold (H): Peze a H/MAX Peze bouton an yon ti moman pou bloke lekti aktyèl la sou ekran an. Peze ankò pou lage li.
- Maximum Value Hold (MAX): Peze epi kenbe la H/MAX button to capture and display the maximum measured value. Press again to exit.
- Fonksyon ZERO: Used to zero the display for DC current measurements to eliminate offset errors.
- Otomatik Ranje: The meter automatically selects the appropriate measurement range.
- Auto Power Off: The meter automatically turns off after a period of inactivity to save battery. This feature can typically be disabled by holding a specific button during power-on (refer to the device's on-screen indicators or a more detailed manual if available).
6. Antretyen

NAN. Depanaj
| Pwoblèm | Kòz posib | Solisyon |
|---|---|---|
| Kontè a pa limen. | Pil ki mouri oswa ki mal enstale. | Tcheke polarite pil yo; ranplase pil yo. |
| "OL" or "OVER" displayed. | Measurement exceeds selected range or meter's maximum capacity. | Select a higher range (if manual ranging) or ensure measurement is within meter's limits. |
| Inaccurate DC current reading. | Residual magnetism in clamp machwè. | Peze a ZERO button before measurement. |
| Pa gen bip kontinwite. | Open circuit or high resistance. | Check connections; ensure circuit is complete. |
If problems persist, contact PeakTech customer support or a qualified service technician.
