9. Cara ngungkulan
- Teu maca atawa maca teu stabil: Check battery levels and replace if necessary. Ensure test leads are securely connected and not damaged. Verify the rotary switch is set to the correct function and range.
- Incorrect resistance reading: Perform Ohm adjustment (zeroing) as described in Section 6.5. Ensure the component being tested is de-energized.
- Pangukuran arus teu jalan: Check the fuse(s) and replace if blown (refer to Section 8.3). Ensure the meter is connected in series with the circuit.
- Needle not moving: Ensure the meter is powered on (if applicable for specific functions) and the test leads are making good contact.
10. Tips pamaké
- Salawasna mimitian ku rentang pangluhurna: Nalika ngukur hiji vol kanyahoantage or current, always start with the highest range setting and then decrease it until you get a suitable reading. This prevents overloading the meter.
- Zero Ohm adjustment: Remember to perform the Ohm adjustment (zeroing) every time you change the resistance range for accurate readings.
- Observe polarity: For DC measurements, observing polarity is important. If the needle deflects backward, reverse the test leads.
- Analog vs. Digital: Analog multimeters are great for observing trends and fluctuating signals, as the needle movement can show changes more dynamically than a digital display.
