5. Sąranka
5.1 Akumuliatoriaus įdėjimas
- Įsitikinkite, kad skaitiklis yra išjungtas.
- Suraskite baterijų skyriaus dangtelį matuoklio gale.
- Use a screwdriver to remove the screw(s) securing the cover.
- Insert six (6) 1.5V AA batteries, observing correct polarity (+/-).
- Uždėkite baterijų skyriaus dangtelį ir pritvirtinkite jį varžtu (-ais).
5.2 Bandymo laidų prijungimas
Connect the test leads to the appropriate input jacks on the meter for the desired measurement function. For earth ground resistance testing, specific connections involving the auxiliary earth bars will be detailed in the operating instructions.
6. Naudojimo instrukcijos
6.1 Maitinimo įjungimas/išjungimas
Rotate the function dial from the 'OFF' position to any desired measurement function to power on the meter. To power off, rotate the dial back to the 'OFF' position.
6.2 Automatic Zero Adjustment
The meter features automatic zero adjustment. When selecting a resistance range, the meter will automatically adjust to zero, compensating for lead resistance. Ensure test leads are not shorted or open during this process for accurate zeroing.
6.3 Duomenų sulaikymo funkcija
Press the 'HOLD' button to freeze the current reading on the display. Press it again to release the hold and resume live readings.
6.4 Foninio apšvietimo funkcija
Press the backlight button (often indicated by a light bulb icon) to illuminate the display for better visibility in dark environments. Press it again to turn off the backlight.
7. Earth Ground Resistance Measurement
The Extech 382252 uses the 3-wire (or Fall-of-Potential) method for earth ground resistance measurements. This method requires the use of the two auxiliary earth bars provided.
7.1 Measurement Procedure (3-Wire Method)
- Paruošimas: Ensure the circuit under test is de-energized and safely isolated.
- Placement of Auxiliary Earth Bars:
- Drive the first auxiliary earth bar (P) into the ground at a suitable distance from the earth electrode (E) being tested.
- Drive the second auxiliary earth bar (C) into the ground at a further distance from P, ensuring all three points (E, P, C) are in a straight line. Typical distances are 5-10 meters (15-30 feet) between E and P, and P and C, but may vary based on soil conditions and electrode size.
- Bandymo laidų prijungimas:
- Connect the 'E' terminal of the meter to the earth electrode under test.
- Connect the 'P' terminal of the meter to the first auxiliary earth bar (P).
- Connect the 'C' terminal of the meter to the second auxiliary earth bar (C).
- Pasirinkite diapazoną: Rotate the function dial to the desired Earth Ground Resistance range (20Ω, 200Ω, or 2000Ω). Start with the highest range if the resistance value is unknown.
- Atlikite testą: Press the 'TEST' button. The meter will inject a current and measure the voltage drop to calculate the earth ground resistance.
- Skaitykite matavimą: The resistance value will be displayed on the LCD.
- Patikrinkite tikslumą: For critical measurements, it is recommended to repeat the test with the auxiliary earth bars placed at slightly different distances to ensure the reading is stable and accurate.
8. Other Measurements
8.1 AC/DC ttage Matavimas
- Connect the red test lead to the 'V' input jack and the black test lead to the 'COM' input jack.
- Rotate the function dial to the desired ACV (750V AC) or DCV (1000V DC) range.
- Prijunkite bandymo zondus prie matuojamos grandinės arba komponento.
- Perskaitykite ttage reikšmė ekrane.
8.2 Atsparumo matavimas
- Įsitikinkite, kad grandinė arba komponentas yra atjungtas nuo įtampos.
- Connect the red test lead to the 'V' input jack and the black test lead to the 'COM' input jack.
- Rotate the function dial to the desired Resistance range (e.g., 200Ω, 20kΩ, 200kΩ).
- Prijunkite bandymo zondus prie komponento.
- Perskaitykite pasipriešinimo vertę ekrane.
8.3 Tęstinumo testas
- Įsitikinkite, kad grandinė arba komponentas yra atjungtas nuo įtampos.
- Connect the red test lead to the 'V' input jack and the black test lead to the 'COM' input jack.
- Rotate the function dial to the Continuity position (often indicated by a speaker icon).
- Prijunkite bandymo zondus prie komponento arba laido.
- An audible beep indicates continuity (low resistance). The display will show the resistance value.
9. Priežiūra
9.1 Valymas
Wipe the meter with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use abrasives or solvents. Periodically clean the test leads and probes to ensure good electrical contact.
9.2 Akumuliatoriaus keitimas
Kai ekrane pasirodo išsikrovusio baterijų indikatorius, nedelsdami pakeiskite baterijas, kad išlaikytumėte matavimo tikslumą. Baterijų įdėjimo instrukcijas rasite 5.1 skyriuje.
9.3 Saugykla
If the meter is to be stored for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent leakage and damage. Store the meter in its carrying case in a cool, dry environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
10. Problemų sprendimas
- No Display/Meter Not Powering On: Check battery installation and ensure batteries are fresh. Verify the function dial is not in the 'OFF' position.
- Netikslūs rodmenys: Ensure test leads are properly connected and not damaged. Check battery level. For earth ground resistance, verify proper placement and connection of auxiliary earth bars and ensure good contact with the ground.
- Nėra tęstinumo pyptelėjimo: Check if the circuit is truly continuous. Ensure test leads are making good contact.
- Ekrane rodoma „OL“ (perkrova): Išmatuota vertė viršija pasirinktą diapazoną. Perjunkite į aukštesnį diapazoną.
Jei atlikus šiuos veiksmus problemos išlieka, susisiekite su klientų aptarnavimo tarnyba.
