3. Operating Instructions

Power On/Off:

Press and hold the 'Switch/Off' button to power the device on or off.

Multimeter Function:

Switch the device to Multimeter mode using the 'MODE' button. Connect the test leads to the appropriate jacks and the circuit under test. The display will show the measurement results. The device supports the following measurements:

  • DC Voltage: Measures direct current voltage.
  • AC Voltage: Measures alternating current voltage.
  • Resistance: Measures electrical resistance.
  • Diode: Tests diode functionality.
  • On-off Continuity: Checks for circuit continuity.
  • Capacitance: Measures capacitance.
  • Frequency: Measures signal frequency.
  • Duty Ratio: Measures the duty cycle of a signal.

4. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and accuracy of your TOOLTOP ET32C/ET31C Signal Generator Multimeter, please follow these maintenance guidelines:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the device. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Storage: Store the device in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for extended periods, remove AAA batteries from the ET31C model.
  • Battery Care (ET32C): For the built-in lithium battery, avoid fully discharging it frequently. Charge it regularly, even if not in use, to maintain battery health.
  • Test Leads: Inspect test leads and probes regularly for any signs of damage or wear. Replace them if necessary to ensure safe and accurate measurements.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your device, please consider the following general troubleshooting steps:

  • Device Not Powering On: Check battery levels (for ET31C, replace AAA batteries; for ET32C, ensure it is charged).
  • Inaccurate Readings: Ensure test leads are properly connected and not damaged. Verify the correct measurement mode is selected.
  • Display Issues: Check screen brightness settings. If the screen is unresponsive, try restarting the device.
  • Signal Generation Problems: Double-check the set parameters (Vp-p, Frequency, Time). Ensure the output is enabled.
