Enstalasyon
Enstalasyon batri
The Digitech QM1563 requires 2 AAA batteries (included). To install or replace batteries:
- Asire clampmeter is turned OFF.
- Jwenn kouvèti konpatiman batri a sou dèyè aparèy la.
- Sèvi ak yon tournevis pou dekole vis(yo) ki kenbe kouvèti a.
- Retire kouvèti a epi mete 2 pil AAA yo, pandan w ap obsève polarite ki kòrèk la (+/-) jan yo endike anndan konpatiman an.
- Remete kouvèti konpatiman batri a epi sere vis(yo) a.
Premye pouvwa sou
After battery installation, turn the rotary function switch from OFF to any measurement function. The display should illuminate, indicating the meter is ready for use.
Enstriksyon Operasyon
Operasyon Jeneral
- Limen/Etenyen: Rotate the function switch from OFF to the desired measurement function to turn on. Rotate back to OFF to turn off.
- Auto Power-Off: The meter will automatically power off after approximately 15 minutes of inactivity. Press any button or rotate the function switch to reactivate.
- Done kenbe: Peze a KENBE bouton an pou bloke lekti aktyèl la sou ekran an. Peze ankò pou lage.
- Mòd Relatif (REL): Peze a REL button to store the current reading as a reference. Subsequent readings will show the difference from this reference. Press again to exit relative mode.
- Function Selection (MODE/Hz%): For functions with multiple sub-modes (e.g., AC/DC current, voltage, or frequency/duty cycle), press the MÒD or Hz% bouton pou chanje pou ale nan yo.
Current Measurement (AC/DC)
Sèvi ak clamp machwè pou mezire kouran san kontak.
- Vire switch fonksyon an nan 40A AC/DC or 400A AC/DC pozisyon.
- Peze a MÒD button to select between AC (~) or DC (---) current.
- Louvri cl laamp machwè yo lè w peze deklanche a.
- Enclose only one conductor within the jaws. Ensure the jaws are fully closed.
- Li valè aktyèl la sou ekran an.
VoltagMezi (AC/DC)
Connect test leads to the input jacks.
- Mete plon tès nwa a nan COM jack la ak fil tès wouj la nan V/Temp Ω/CAP Jack.
- Vire switch fonksyon an nan V∼Hz (Volim AC)tage) oswa V--- (DC Voltage) pozisyon.
- Konekte sond tès yo atravè sikwi a oswa konpozan ki pral mezire a.
- Li voltage valè sou ekspozisyon an.
