  3. Pikeun pangukuran arus tinggi (nepi ka 10A), selapkeun lead test beureum kana 10A jack.

7. Parentah Operasi

Before making any measurement, ensure the test leads are correctly connected and the rotary switch is set to the appropriate function and range.

7.1 Ngukur DC Voltage (V=)

  1. Selapkeun kalungguhan beureum kana VΩmA jack and the black lead into the COM jack.
  2. Setel saklar puteran kana Voltase DC anu dipikahoyongtage (V=) range. Start with the highest range if the voltage teu kanyahoan.
  3. Connect the test leads across the component or circuit to be measured (in parallel).
  4. Baca voltage value on the LCD display. The display will show the correct polarity.

7.2 Ngukur AC Voltage (V~)

  1. Selapkeun kalungguhan beureum kana VΩmA jack and the black lead into the COM jack.
  2. Setel saklar puteran kana Voltase AC anu dipikahoyongtage (V~) range. Start with the highest range if the voltage teu kanyahoan.
  3. Connect the test leads across the component or circuit to be measured (in parallel).
  4. Baca voltage nilai dina tampilan LCD.

7.3 Measuring DC Current (A=)

Caution: Never connect the multimeter in parallel with a voltage sumber nalika ngukur arus, sakumaha ieu bisa niup sekering atawa ngaruksak méter.

  1. Determine the expected current. For currents up to 200mA, insert the red lead into the VΩmA jack. For currents up to 10A, insert the red lead into the 10A jack. Always insert the black lead into the COM jack.
  2. Set the rotary switch to the appropriate DC Current (A=) range. Start with the highest range if the current is unknown.
  3. Turn off power to the circuit. Open the circuit where the current is to be measured.
  4. Sambungkeun multimeter dina runtuyan jeung sirkuit.
  5. Restore power to the circuit and read the current value on the LCD display.

7.4 Ngukur Résistansi (Ω)

Caution: Ensure the circuit is completely de-energized and all capacitors are discharged before measuring resistance.

  1. Selapkeun kalungguhan beureum kana VΩmA jack and the black lead into the COM jack.
  2. Set the rotary switch to the desired Resistance (Ω) range. Start with a higher range if the resistance is unknown.
  3. Sambungkeun lead test kana komponén anu bakal diukur.
  4. Baca nilai lalawanan dina tampilan LCD.

7.5 Tés Dioda

Caution: Ensure the diode is disconnected from the circuit or the circuit is de-energized before testing.

  1. Selapkeun kalungguhan beureum kana VΩmA jack and the black lead into the COM jack.
  2. Set the rotary switch to the Diode symbol (→|).
  3. Sambungkeun kabel beureum ka anoda sareng kabel hideung ka katoda dioda. Layar bakal nunjukkeun voltase majutage drop (typically 0.5V to 0.8V for silicon diodes).
  4. Reverse the leads. The display should show 'OL' (Overload) for a good diode. If it shows a reading in both directions or 'OL' in both directions, the diode may be faulty.

7.6 Transistor (hFE) Test

Caution: Ensure the transistor is disconnected from the circuit before testing.

  1. Selapkeun kalungguhan beureum kana VΩmA jack and the black lead into the COM jack.
  2. Atur switch Rotary ka posisi hFE.
  3. Identify if the transistor is NPN or PNP. Insert the transistor's emitter, base, and collector leads into the corresponding holes in the hFE socket on the multimeter.
  4. Read the hFE (DC current gain) value on the LCD display.
