4.1 Enstalasyon batri
- Asire w ke miltimèt la etenn epi dekonekte tout fil tès yo.
- Jwenn kouvèti konpatiman batri a sou dèyè miltimèt la.
- Devise vis (yo) ki kenbe yo epi retire kouvèti a.
- Insert two 1.5V AAA batteries, observing the correct polarity (+ and -) as indicated inside the compartment.
- Remèt kouvèti konpatiman batri a epi byen sere l ak vis(yo).
4.2 Konekte fil tès yo
Konekte fil tès yo nan priz antre ki apwopriye yo sou miltimèt la:
- Mete la nwa plon tès la nan COM (common) jack.
- Pou pifò mezi (Volimtage, Resistance, Diode, Continuity, Temperature, Battery Test), insert the wouj plon tès la nan VΩmA Jack.
- For high current measurements (up to 10A), insert the wouj plon tès la nan 10A Jack.
5. Operasyon Enstriksyon
Before taking any measurement, ensure the test leads are correctly connected and the rotary switch is set to the desired function.
5.1 Mezire DC Voltage (V=)
- Set the rotary switch to the desired V= range (e.g., 20V for measuring up to 20V DC).
- Connect the red test lead to the positive (+) side of the circuit and the black test lead to the negative (-) side.
- Li voltage valè sou ekspozisyon an.
5.2 Mezire AC Voltage (V~)
- Set the rotary switch to the desired V~ range (e.g., 200V for measuring up to 200V AC).
- Konekte fil tès yo atravè vòltaj AC a.tage sous.
- Li voltage valè sou ekspozisyon an.
5.3 Measuring DC Current (A=)
- Enpòtan: Dekonekte kouran an nan sikwi a anvan ou konekte miltimèt la an seri.
- Set the rotary switch to the desired A= range (e.g., 200mA or 10A). Remember to move the red lead to the 10A jack for high current.
- Open the circuit where current is to be measured.
- Connect the multimeter in series with the circuit, ensuring the current flows through the multimeter.
- Mete kouran nan sikwi a epi li valè aktyèl la sou ekran an.
5.4 Mezire Rezistans (Ω)
- Enpòtan: Asire w sikwi a pa gen enèji epi tout kondansateur yo dechaje anvan ou mezire rezistans lan.
- Set the rotary switch to the desired Ω ranje.
- Konekte fil tès yo atravè konpozan ou vle mezire a.
