Antretyen

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and accuracy of your ZIBOO FT-2000W Solar Panel Tester.

Netwayaj

Wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the test leads are clean and free of debris before and after each use.

Ranplasman batri

When the low battery indicator appears on the display, replace the 3 AAA batteries as described in the Enstalasyon section. Always use fresh batteries of the correct type.

Depo

Store the meter and its accessories in the provided carrying pouch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Remove batteries if storing for extended periods to prevent leakage.

Depanaj

If you encounter issues with your ZIBOO FT-2000W Solar Panel Tester, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

  • Pa gen ekran/aparèy ki pa limen:
    • Tcheke si pil yo byen enstale epi yo gen ase chaj. Ranplase yo si sa nesesè.
    • Ensure the power button is pressed and held for the required 3 seconds.
  • Lekti ki pa kòrèk:
    • Verify that test leads are securely connected to both the meter and the solar panel.
    • Ensure the solar panel is receiving adequate sunlight and is not shaded. Shading can significantly impact performance.
    • Confirm that the test is being performed within the meter's specified voltage (12-150V) and current (0-35A) ranges.
    • Avoid testing panels in series or parallel configurations, as this can lead to incorrect readings or damage (refer to Important Safety Warning).
  • Display Not Changing in AUTO Mode:
    • The AUTO mode updates approximately every 10 seconds. Allow sufficient time for readings to refresh.
    • Ensure stable light conditions for consistent readings.
