5. Tatūnga

5.1. Tāuta Pūhiko

The Fluke 77-4 is powered by a 9V battery. To install or replace the battery:

1. Me whakaweto te mita maha.
2. Locate the battery compartment cover on the rear of the multimeter.
3. Whakamahia he tīwiri hei wetekina i ngā tīwiri e mau ana i te taupoki.
4. Remove the cover and insert a new 9V battery, observing correct polarity.
5. Whakahokia te taupoki, ka whakaukia ngā tīwiri.

5.2. Te hono i nga Kaitohu Whakamatau

Always connect the black test lead to the COM jack. Connect the red test lead to the appropriate input jack for your measurement:

• VΩHz: Mo te voltage, resistance, continuity, diode, and frequency measurements.
• mA: For current measurements up to 400mA.
• 10A: For current measurements up to 10A.

6. Nga Tohutohu Whakahaere

Before taking any measurement, ensure the test leads are correctly connected and the function dial is set to the appropriate position.

6.1. Measuring AC/DC Voltage

1. Turn the rotary dial to V~ (AC Voltage) or V (DC Voltagme).
2. Honoa te mata whakamatautau pango ki te COM jack me te mata whakamatautau whero ki te jack VΩHz.
3. Touch the test probes to the circuit points where voltage me ine.
4. Pānuihia te voltage uara kei runga i te whakaaturanga.

6.2. Measuring Resistance (Ohms)

1. Me mohio kua whakakorehia te hiko i mua i te ine i te parenga.
2. Turn the rotary dial to Ω.
3. Honoa te mata whakamatautau pango ki te COM jack me te mata whakamatautau whero ki te jack VΩHz.
4. Touch the test probes across the component or circuit segment.
5. Panuihia te uara aukati kei runga i te whakaaturanga.

6.3. Measuring Current (Ampara)

Tupato: Current measurements require breaking the circuit and inserting the multimeter in series. Incorrect connection can blow the fuse or damage the meter.
