4. Tatūnga

4.1 Tāuta Pūhiko

The Fluke 362 is battery-powered. Although batteries are not included with all packages, they are required for operation. To install or replace batteries:

1. Ensure the meter is turned OFF and no test leads are connected.
2. Kimihia te uhi o te wahanga pākahiko kei muri o te mita.
3. Whakamahia he tīwiri hei wetekina i ngā tīwiri e mau ana i te taupoki.
4. Remove the cover and insert the required batteries, observing correct polarity (+/-).
5. Replace the battery cover and tighten the screw(s).

4.2 Hononga Arataki Whakamātautau

Mo te voltage, resistance, and continuity measurements, connect the test leads to the input terminals:

• Insert the black test lead into the “COM” (common) terminal.
• Insert the red test lead into the “VΩ” (voltage/resistance) terminal.

5. Nga Tohutohu Whakahaere

5.1 Kei te Hiko / Weto

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.

5.2 Kōwhiringa Mahi

Use the rotary function dial to select the desired measurement mode (e.g., A∼ for AC current, A— for DC current, V∼ for AC voltage, V— for DC voltage, Ω for resistance, or continuity).

5.3 AC/DC Inenga o naianei (Clamp)

To measure current using the clamp kauae:

1. Rotate the function dial to A∼ (AC current) or A— (DC current).
2. For DC current measurements, press the “ZERO” button to clear any offset before clamping.
3. Whakatuwheratia te clamp kauae mā te pēhi i te pū.
4. Enclose only one conductor within the jaw. Ensure the jaw is fully closed.
5. Pānuihia te uara o nāianei i te whakaaturanga.

5.4 AC/DC Voltage Inenga

Hei ine voltage:

1. Honoa nga kaiarahi whakamatautau pera i te waahanga 4.2.
2. Rotate the function dial to V∼ (AC voltage) or V— (DC voltagme).
3. Tūhono whakarara ngā rangahau whakamātautau ki te ara iahiko, ki te wae rānei e hiahia ana koe ki te ine.
4. Pānuihia te voltage uara kei runga i te whakaaturanga.

5.5 Ine Atete

Hei ine i te parenga:

1. Me mohio kua whakakorehia te hiko, te waahanga ranei i mua i te ine i te parenga.
2. Honoa nga kaiarahi whakamatautau pera i te waahanga 4.2.

4. Connect the test probes across the component or wire.
5. The meter will emit an audible tone if continuity is detected (resistance below a certain threshold).

5.7 Zero Function (DC Measurements)

The “ZERO” button is primarily used for DC current measurements. Before taking a DC current reading, with the clamp jaw open and no conductor inside, press the “ZERO” button to eliminate any residual offset and ensure accurate readings.

5.8 Taumahi Pupuri Raraunga

Press the “HOLD” button to freeze the current reading on the display. This is useful for taking readings in hard-to-see locations. Press “HOLD” again to release the reading and return to live measurement.
