4. Uputstvo za upotrebu

Before taking any measurement, ensure the test leads are correctly connected and the rotary switch is set to the appropriate function and range. Always start with a higher range if the expected value is unknown to prevent overloading the meter.

4.1 DC Voltage Measurement (V--)

1. Podesite rotacijski prekidač na željenu jačinu jednosmjerne struje (DC Vol).tage (V--) range (e.g., 500V, 200V, 20V, 2000mV, 200mV).
2. Connect the black test lead to the "COM" jack and the red test lead to the "VΩmA" jack.
3. Spojite mjerne sonde preko komponente ili strujnog kola koje se mjeri, poštujući polaritet.
4. Pročitajte voltage value on the digital display. If a negative sign appears, it indicates reversed polarity.

4.2 AC VoltagMjerenje (V~)

1. Podesite rotacijski prekidač na željenu jačinu AC strujetage (V~) raspon (npr. 500V, 200V).
2. Connect the black test lead to the "COM" jack and the red test lead to the "VΩmA" jack.
3. Spojite ispitne sonde preko AC voltatage izvor.
4. Pročitajte voltagvrijednost na digitalnom displeju.

4.3 DC Current Measurement (A--)

1. VAŽNO: Current measurements require the meter to be connected in series with the circuit. Ensure the circuit is de-energized before connecting the meter.
2. Set the rotary switch to the desired DC Current (A--) range (e.g., 10A, 200mA, 20mA, 2000µA, 200µA).
3. For ranges up to 200mA, connect the red test lead to the "VΩmA" jack. For the 10A range, connect the red test lead to the "10A" jack. The black lead always connects to "COM".
4. Open the circuit where current is to be measured and insert the meter in series.
5. Priključite napajanje na strujno kolo i očitajte trenutnu vrijednost na displeju.
6. After measurement, disconnect power, remove the meter, and restore the circuit.

4.4 Mjerenje otpora (Ω)

1. UPOZORENJE: Ensure the circuit or component under test is completely de-energized before measuring resistance.
2. Set the rotary switch to the desired Resistance (Ω) range (e.g., 20000kΩ, 2000kΩ, 200kΩ, 20kΩ, 2000Ω, 200Ω).
3. Connect the black test lead to "COM" and the red test lead to "VΩmA".
4. Spojite ispitne sonde preko komponente.
5. Očitajte vrijednost otpora na zaslonu.

4.5 Test diode (→|→)

1. Postavite rotacijski prekidač u položaj za testiranje dioda.
2. Connect the black test lead to "COM" and the red test lead to "VΩmA".
3. Connect the red probe to the anode and the black probe to the cathode of the diode. The display should show a forward voltagpad napona (obično od 0.5 V do 0.8 V za silicijumske diode).
4. Reverse the probes. The display should show "OL" (Overload) for a good diode. If it shows a reading in both directions or "OL" in both directions, the diode is likely faulty.

4.6 Test kontinuiteta (•))))

1. Postavite rotacijski prekidač u položaj za testiranje kontinuiteta.
2. Connect the black test lead to "COM" and the red test lead to "VΩmA".
3. Spojite ispitne sonde preko strujnog kola ili komponente.
4. If the resistance is below approximately 50Ω (this value can vary), the buzzer will sound, indicating continuity. The display will also show the resistance value.

6.2 Zamjena baterije

When the low battery indicator appears on the display, replace the two AAA batteries as described in Section 3.1. Remove batteries if the meter is not used for an extended period to prevent leakage.

6.3 Zamjena osigurača

If the current measurement function stops working, the fuse may be blown. Fuses are located inside the meter. Fuse specifications are 500mA/500V for the VΩmA input and 10A/500V for the 10A input. Fuse replacement should only be performed by qualified personnel. Always replace with fuses of the exact same type and rating.

7. Otkrivanje problema

• Bez prikaza: Provjerite instalaciju baterija i uvjerite se da baterije nisu ispražnjene.
• "OL" na ekranu: Indicates an overload or out-of-range measurement. Select a higher range or check for an open circuit (for continuity/resistance).
• Netačna očitanja:
  • Ensure test leads are correctly connected to the appropriate jacks.
  • Provjerite je li rotacijski prekidač postavljen na ispravnu funkciju i raspon.
  • Check if the batteries are low.
  • Ensure the component or circuit is properly isolated for resistance/diode tests.
• Mjerenje struje ne radi: Check the fuse for the relevant current input (500mA or 10A).

8. Sigurnosne informacije

This multimeter is designed to meet safety standards for electrical measuring instruments. However, improper use can result in electric shock or damage to the meter. Always follow these safety guidelines:

• Nemojte nanositi više od naznačenog volumenatage between the input terminals or between any terminal and earth ground.
• Budite izuzetno oprezni kada radite sa voltagiznad 30V AC RMS, 42V peak ili 60V DC. Ovi volumenitagpredstavljaju opasnost od strujnog udara.
• Uvijek isključite napajanje strujnog kola i ispraznite sve visokonaponsketagkondenzatore prije mjerenja otpora ili kontinuiteta.
• Ensure the rotary switch is in the correct position for the measurement being performed.
• Never measure current on a circuit with power applied if the test leads are connected to the "VΩmA" or "10A" jacks and the rotary switch is set to a voltage or resistance function. This can blow the fuse or damage the meter.
• Ne koristite mjerač ako izgleda oštećeno ili ako su mjerni kabeli oštećeni.
• Adhere to the CAT II 500V and CAT III 300V safety ratings. CAT III is for measurements in building installation (e.g., distribution boards, circuit breakers, wiring, including cables, bus-bars, junction boxes, switches, socket-outlets in the fixed installation, and equipment for industrial use and some other equipment, e.g., stationary motors with permanent connection to the fixed installation). CAT II is for measurements performed on circuits directly connected to the low-voltage installation (e.g., household appliances, portable tools).
• Držite prste iza barijera sonde tokom mjerenja.
