2. Suidhich

2.1 Stàladh bataraidh

The multimeter requires one 9V battery for operation. To install or replace the battery:

1. Locate the battery compartment cover on the back of the multimeter.
2. Remove the screw(s) securing the cover (if present).
3. Thoir air falbh an còmhdach gu faiceallach.
4. Connect a new 9V battery to the battery clips, ensuring correct polarity.
5. Place the battery inside the compartment and replace the cover, securing it with the screw(s).

2.2 A’ ceangal uèirichean deuchainn

The multimeter comes with two test leads, typically one red and one black. Connect them as follows:

• Cuir a-steach an dubh test lead into the "COM" (Common) jack. This is the negative (-) terminal.
• Cuir a-steach an dearg test lead into the "VΩmA" jack for most voltage, resistance, and current measurements. For higher current measurements (up to 5A), use the "5ADC" jack. This is the positive (+) terminal.

3. Stiùireadh Obrachaidh

Before taking any measurements, ensure the test leads are correctly connected and the rotary switch is set to the appropriate function and range for the measurement you intend to make.

3.1 Cumhachd air / dheth

To turn the multimeter on, rotate the central dial from the "OFF" position to any desired measurement function. To turn it off, rotate the dial back to "OFF".

3.2 Basic Measurement Functions

• DC Voltage (DCV): Used to measure direct current voltage. Select the appropriate DCV range (e.g., 20V, 200V, 250V) based on the expected voltage.
• AC Voltage (ACV): Used to measure alternating current voltage. Select the appropriate ACV range (e.g., 200V, 250V).
• Frith-aghaidh (Ω): Used to measure electrical resistance in Ohms. Select the appropriate Ohm range (e.g., 200Ω, 2000Ω, 20kΩ, 200kΩ, 2000kΩ).
• DC Amperage (DCA): Used to measure direct current in Amperes. Select the appropriate DCA range (e.g., 200µA, 2000µA, 20mA, 200mA, 5A).

Always start with a higher range setting if the voltage or current is unknown to prevent damage to the multimeter.

4.1 Ìosal Comharra Bataraidh

The multimeter is equipped with a low battery indicator. When the battery voltage drops below the operational level, a battery symbol will appear on the display. Replace the 9V battery promptly to ensure accurate readings.

4.2 Fuse and Diode Protected Circuit

The multimeter features a fuse and diode protected circuit to prevent damage from overloads. If the multimeter stops functioning or provides incorrect readings, check the internal fuse. Refer to the specifications for the correct fuse type and rating.

4.3 Glanadh agus Stòradh

Clean the multimeter with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Store the multimeter in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Remove the battery if the device will not be used for an extended period.

5. A ’dèanamh trioblaid

If you encounter issues with your Cen-Tech 7 Function Digital Multimeter, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Gun taisbeanadh/Taisbeanadh lag: Check the battery. Ensure it is properly installed and has sufficient charge. Replace if necessary.
• Leughaidhean ceàrr:
  • Verify that the test leads are securely connected to the correct jacks.
  • Ensure the rotary switch is set to the correct function (DCV, ACV, Ω, DCA) and range for the measurement.
  • Check for continuity in the test leads themselves.
  • If measuring resistance, ensure the circuit is de-energized.
• Comharradh overload: If the display shows "OL" or an overrange indicator, it means the measured value exceeds the selected range. Switch to a higher range setting.
• No Reading on Current Measurement: Ensure the red test lead is in the correct current jack (VΩmA or 5ADC) and the circuit is in series with the multimeter. Check the internal fuse if applicable.

For persistent issues, contact Cen-Tech customer support or consult a qualified electrician.
