2. Enfòmasyon sou Sekirite

WARNING: To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury, read all safety information before you use the product.

• Toujou respekte kòd sekirite lokal ak nasyonal yo.
• Do not use the meter if it is damaged or operating abnormally.
• Asire w ke switch fonksyon an nan bon pozisyon pou mezi w ap fè a.
• Pa aplike plis pase rated voltage, jan yo make sou kontè a, ant tèminal yo oswa ant nenpòt tèminal ak tè tè a.
• The Fluke 362 is rated for CAT III 600 V. This rating indicates suitability for measurements in distribution boards, circuit breakers, wiring, including cables, bus-bars, junction boxes, switches, and socket outlets in the fixed installation, and industrial use equipment.
• Pran prekosyon lè w ap travay ak voltages above 30 V AC RMS, 42 V peak, or 60 V DC. These voltages poze yon danje chòk.
• Remove test leads from the circuit before opening the battery cover.
• Ranplase pil yo lè endikatè pil fèb la parèt pou asire lekti yo egzak.

4. Enstalasyon

4.1 Enstalasyon batri

The Fluke 362 is battery-powered. Although batteries are not included with all packages, they are required for operation. To install or replace batteries:

1. Ensure the meter is turned OFF and no test leads are connected.
2. Jwenn kouvèti konpatiman pil la sou dèyè mèt la.
3. Sèvi ak yon tournevis pou dekole vis(yo) ki kenbe kouvèti a.
4. Remove the cover and insert the required batteries, observing correct polarity (+/-).
5. Remèt kouvèti batri a epi sere vis la(yo).

4.2 Koneksyon Plon Tès la

Pou voltage, resistance, and continuity measurements, connect the test leads to the input terminals:

• Insert the black test lead into the “COM” (common) terminal.
• Insert the red test lead into the “VΩ” (voltage/resistance) terminal.

5. Operasyon Enstriksyon

5.1 Limen/Etenyen

Rotate the function dial from the “OFF” position to any desired measurement function to power on the meter. To power off, rotate the dial back to the “OFF” position.

5.2 Seleksyon Fonksyon

Use the rotary function dial to select the desired measurement mode (e.g., A∼ for AC current, A— for DC current, V∼ for AC voltage, V— for DC voltage, Ω for resistance, or continuity).

5.3 Mezi Kouran AC/DC (Clamp)

To measure current using the clamp machwè:

1. Rotate the function dial to A∼ (AC current) or A— (DC current).
2. For DC current measurements, press the “ZERO” button to clear any offset before clamping.
3. Louvri cl laamp machwè a lè w peze deklanche a.
4. Enclose only one conductor within the jaw. Ensure the jaw is fully closed.
5. Li valè aktyèl la sou ekran an.

5.4 AC/DC Voltage Mezi

Pou mezire voltage:

1. Konekte fil tès yo jan sa dekri nan Seksyon 4.2 la.
2. Rotate the function dial to V∼ (AC voltage) or V— (DC voltagak).
3. Connect the test probes in parallel to the circuit or component you wish to measure.
4. Li voltage valè sou ekspozisyon an.

5.5 Mezi rezistans

Pou mezire rezistans:

1. Asire w ke sikwi a oswa konpozan an pa gen enèji anvan ou mezire rezistans lan.
2. Konekte fil tès yo jan sa dekri nan Seksyon 4.2 la.
3. Rotate the function dial to Ω (resistance).
4. Konekte sond tès yo atravè konpozan an.
5. Li valè rezistans nan ekspozisyon an.

5.6 Tès kontinwite

Pou fè yon tès kontinite:

1. Asire w ke sikwi a oswa konpozan an pa gen enèji.
2. Konekte fil tès yo jan sa dekri nan Seksyon 4.2 la.
3. Rotate the function dial to the continuity position (often shared with resistance, indicated by a speaker icon).
4. Connect the test probes across the component or wire.
5. The meter will emit an audible tone if continuity is detected (resistance below a certain threshold).

5.7 Zero Function (DC Measurements)

The “ZERO” button is primarily used for DC current measurements. Before taking a DC current reading, with the clamp jaw open and no conductor inside, press the “ZERO” button to eliminate any residual offset and ensure accurate readings.

5.8 Fonksyon kenbe done

Press the “HOLD” button to freeze the current reading on the display. This is useful for taking readings in hard-to-see locations. Press “HOLD” again to release the reading and return to live measurement.

6. Antretyen

6.1 Netwayaj

To clean the meter, wipe it with a damp twal ak yon savon dou. Pa sèvi ak pwodui abrazif oswa solvang. Asire w ke mèt la byen sèk anvan w itilize li.

6.2 Ranplasman batri

When the low battery indicator appears on the display, replace the batteries promptly to maintain measurement accuracy. Refer to Section 4.1 for battery installation instructions.

6.3 Depo

If the meter is not used for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent leakage and damage. Store the meter in a dry, cool environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
