6. Operating Instructions

6.1. ANENG PN130 Intelligent Multimeter

Power On/Off: Long press the power button (6) to turn the device on or off.

Function Selection: Press the "SELECT" button (4) to cycle through different measurement functions (AC/DC Current, AC/DC Voltage, Resistance, Capacitance, Frequency, Diode, NCV).

6.1.1. Current Measurement (AC/DC)

• Select the appropriate AC or DC current mode using the "SELECT" button.
• For DC current, clamp the order with pliers strand measurement.
• For AC current, clamp the single strand with pliers. The 12mm jaw is suitable for various electrical lines.
• Important: When measuring AC current, only measure the zero line or fire line, and only a single core wire. Common electrical appliances in home power supply lines cannot be measured this way as they contain multiple core wires.

7. Maintenance

• Keep the devices clean and dry. Wipe with a soft, damp cloth if necessary. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Store the devices in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• For PN130, recharge the battery regularly to maintain its lifespan, even if not in frequent use.
• For B16, remove batteries if the device will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.
• Regularly check test leads for any signs of wear or damage. Replace immediately if found.

8. Troubleshooting

Q: Device does not turn on.

A: For PN130, ensure the battery is charged. For B16, check if batteries are correctly installed and have sufficient charge. Replace batteries if necessary.

Q: Inaccurate readings.

A: Ensure the device is in the correct measurement mode. For B16 AC voltage, ensure proper contact with the touch pole. For PN130 current measurement, ensure only a single core wire is clamped. Calibrate if possible (refer to professional service if needed).

Q: "OL" displayed on PN130 screen.

A: This indicates an overload. The measured value exceeds the device's range. Disconnect immediately and ensure you are within the specified measurement limits.

Q: B16 displays "o" on screen.

A: This indicates battery undervoltage. Replace the AAA batteries promptly.

9. User Tips

• PN130 Current Measurement: The PN130 can measure both AC and DC current. When measuring DC current, ensure you select the correct mode and clamp the wire appropriately.
• B16 AC Voltage: For reliable AC voltage readings with the B16, always ensure your fingers are in full contact with the touch pole.
• Automatic Shutdown: Both devices feature automatic shutdown after a period of inactivity (PN130: 15 minutes, B16: 3 minutes) to conserve battery life. Remember to turn them off manually if you finish using them sooner.
