3.1 Išpakavimas ir patikrinimas
Carefully unpack the meter and its accessories. Verify that all items listed in the 'Included Components' section are present and undamaged. If any item is missing or damaged, contact your supplier immediately.
3.2 Akumuliatoriaus įdėjimas
The EX820A requires one (1) 9V battery (included). To install or replace the battery:
- Įsitikinkite, kad skaitiklis yra IŠJUNGTAS.
- Suraskite baterijų skyriaus dangtelį matuoklio gale.
- Atsuktuvu atlaisvinkite varžtą, tvirtinantį akumuliatoriaus dangtelį.
- Remove the cover and insert the 9V battery, observing correct polarity.
- Uždėkite akumuliatoriaus dangtelį ir priveržkite varžtą.
3.3 Bandymo laidų prijungimas
Už ttage, resistance, capacitance, frequency, diode, and continuity measurements, connect the supplied test leads:
- Insert the red test lead into the VΩHz+ input jack.
- Įkiškite juodą bandymo laidą į COM įvesties lizdą.

4. Naudojimo instrukcijos
The EX820A features a rotary function switch to select the desired measurement mode. Press the 'MODE' button to cycle through functions within a single switch position (e.g., AC/DC voltage, varža/tęstinumas).
4.1 Measuring AC Current (Clamp)
- Set the rotary switch to the 'A~' position.
- Atidarykite klamp jaws by pressing the jaw release trigger.
- Apvyniokite vieną laidininką laidininkuamp nasrai. Įsitikinkite, kad nasrai yra visiškai uždaryti.
- Nuskaitykite kintamosios srovės vertę ekrane.

4.2 AC/DC matavimas Voltage
- Prijunkite bandymo laidus, kaip aprašyta 3.3 skyriuje.
- Set the rotary switch to the 'V' position.
- Press the 'MODE' button to select AC (V~) or DC (V–) voltage.
- Apply the test probes to the circuit points where voltage turi būti išmatuotas.
- Perskaitykite ttage reikšmė ekrane.

4.3 Infraraudonųjų spindulių termometro naudojimas
- Set the rotary switch to the 'IR TEMP' position.
- Point the meter's IR sensor (located at the top) towards the target surface. The laser pointer will assist in aiming.
- Read the surface temperature on the display.

4.4 LoZ (Low Impedance) Mode
The LoZ function is used to eliminate ghost voltages, which can cause misleading readings. When measuring voltage in circuits where ghost voltages are suspected, select the LoZ mode to provide a low impedance path that dissipates these stray voltages.
- Set the rotary switch to the 'V LoZ' position.
- Prijunkite bandymo laidus prie grandinės.
- Perskaitykite ttage. This reading will be more accurate in the presence of ghost voltages.
4.5 žemų dažnių filtras (LPF)
The LPF function is designed for accurate measurements on variable frequency drives (VFDs) and other electrically noisy equipment. It filters out high-frequency noise that can distort True RMS readings.
- Set the rotary switch to the 'A~' or 'V~' position.
- Press the 'LPF' button to activate the Low Pass Filter. The LPF icon will appear on the display.
- Proceed with your current or voltage matavimas.
4.6 Įjungimo srovės matavimas
The Inrush function captures the maximum current surge when a motor or other inductive load starts up. This is useful for diagnosing motor starting issues.
- Set the rotary switch to the 'A~' position.
- Press the 'INRUSH' button. The meter will be ready to capture the inrush current.
- Taikykite klamp to the motor's power lead and start the motor. The meter will display the peak inrush current.
5. Priežiūra
5.1 Valymas
Wipe the meter with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use abrasives or solvents. Periodically clean the input jacks with a cotton swab and alcohol to ensure good contact.
5.2 Akumuliatoriaus keitimas
Replace the 9V battery when the low battery indicator appears on the display. Refer to Section 3.2 for battery installation instructions. Always dispose of used batteries responsibly.
5.3 Saugykla
When the meter is not in use for an extended period, remove the battery to prevent leakage. Store the meter in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
6. Problemų sprendimas
- Matuoklis neįsijungia: Patikrinkite akumuliatoriaus įdėjimą ir įsitikinkite, kad akumuliatoriaus įkrova pakankama. Jei reikia, pakeiskite.
- Rodmuo nerodomas arba rodoma „OL“ (perkrova): Ensure test leads are properly connected and making good contact. Verify the measurement range is appropriate for the input. For current measurements, ensure only a single conductor is within the clamp žandikauliai.
- Netikslūs rodmenys: Patikrinkite akumuliatoriaus tūrįtage. Ensure the correct function is selected. For voltage/current, consider using LoZ or LPF modes in noisy environments. Ensure proper contact with test points.
- IR Thermometer not working: Ensure the rotary switch is in the 'IR TEMP' position. Check for any obstructions to the IR sensor.
