2. Sigurnosne informacije

Uvijek se pridržavajte sigurnosnih mjera opreza prilikom korištenja električne opreme za testiranje. Nepoštivanje ovih mjera može dovesti do strujnog udara, ozljede ili oštećenja mjerača ili opreme koja se testira.

  • Ne prekoračujte maksimalne ulazne vrijednosti navedene za svaki mjerni opseg.
  • Budite izuzetno oprezni kada radite sa voltagiznad 30V AC RMS, 42V peak ili 60V DC. Ovi volumenitagpredstavljaju opasnost od strujnog udara.
  • Prije svake upotrebe provjerite mjerne kablove da li imaju oštećenja. Ne koristite ako je izolacija oštećena.
  • Ensure the function switch is in the correct position for the desired measurement before connecting to the circuit.
  • Ne koristite mjerač ako izgleda oštećeno ili ne funkcioniše ispravno.
  • Držite ruke i prste iza barijera sonde tokom testiranja.
  • Odmah zamijenite baterije kada se pojavi indikator slabe baterije kako biste osigurali tačna očitavanja.

5.1 Instalacija baterije

The BTMETER BT-38B requires two AAA batteries for operation.

Instructions for replacing batteries in the BTMETER BT-38B Digital Pen Multimeter. Shows rotating the battery bin and pulling it out to insert AAA batteries.

Slika 5.1: Zamjena baterije

  1. Locate the battery cover at the bottom of the multimeter.
  2. Rotate the battery bin counter-clockwise until it pops up.
  3. Carefully pull out the battery bin.
  4. Umetnite dvije AAA baterije, pazeći na ispravan polaritet (+/-).
  5. Slide the battery bin back into the multimeter and rotate clockwise to secure it.

Kada se pojavi ikona baterije 🔋 lights up on the screen, it indicates that the battery needs to be replaced.

6. Uputstvo za upotrebu

6.1 Opći rad

  • Turn the toggle switch from OFF to the desired measurement function (Voltage or Ohms/Continuity/Diode).
  • Spojite mjerne kabele na strujno kolo ili komponentu koja se testira.
  • Očitajte izmjerenu vrijednost na LCD ekranu.
  • The meter features an Auto Power Off function after 15 minutes of inactivity to conserve battery life. A "BEEP" warning will sound before auto power off.

6.2 AC/DC Voltage Measurement

The BT-38B can measure AC voltage from 2V to 600V and DC voltage from 200mV to 600V.

  1. Turn the toggle switch to the "V" position.
  2. Pritisnite SELECT button to switch between AC and DC voltage modes as needed. The display will indicate "AC" or "DC".
  3. Connect the red test lead to the positive (+) side of the circuit and the black test lead (COM) to the negative (-) side or ground.
  4. Pročitajte voltage vrijednost na LCD zaslonu.

6.3 Mjerenje otpora

Measure resistance from 200 Ohm to 20M Ohm.

  1. Turn the toggle switch to the "Ω" position.
  2. Prije mjerenja otpora provjerite je li strujno kolo bez napona.
  3. Spojite mjerne kablove preko komponente čiji otpor želite izmjeriti.
  4. Očitajte vrijednost otpora na LCD ekranu.

6.4 Test kontinuiteta

The built-in buzzer sounds if resistance is less than 50Ω.

  1. Turn the toggle switch to the "Ω" position.
  2. Pritisnite SELECT button until the continuity symbol (a sound wave icon) appears on the display.
