4. Parentah Operasi

The PeakTech 3385 offers 20 different measurement ranges. Always select a range higher than the expected value to prevent damage to the meter.

4.1 Ngukur DC Voltage (DCV)

1. Selapkeun lead test hideung kana COM jack jeung test beureum kalungguhan kana VΩmA jack.
2. Set the function switch to the desired DCV range (e.g., 15V, 60V, 150V, 600V). Start with the highest range if the voltage teu kanyahoan.
3. Sambungkeun kabel tés kana komponén atanapi sirkuit anu badé diukur.
4. Baca voltage value from the appropriate DCV scale on the analog display.

4.2 Ngukur AC Voltage (ACV)

1. Selapkeun lead test hideung kana COM jack jeung test beureum kalungguhan kana VΩmA jack.
2. Set the function switch to the desired ACV range (e.g., 15V, 60V, 150V, 600V). Start with the highest range if the voltage teu kanyahoan.
3. Sambungkeun kabel tés kana komponén atanapi sirkuit anu badé diukur.
4. Baca voltage value from the appropriate ACV scale on the analog display.

4.3 Measuring DC Current (DCA)

Awas: Always connect the meter in series with the circuit. Never connect it in parallel across a voltage source when measuring current.

1. Selapkeun lead test hideung kana COM jack.
2. For currents up to 500mA, insert the red test lead into the VΩmA jack. For currents up to 10A, insert the red test lead into the 10A jack.
3. Set the function switch to the desired DCA range (e.g., 100µA, 10mA, 500mA, 10A).
4. Open the circuit where the current is to be measured and connect the meter in series.
5. Read the current value from the appropriate DCA scale.

4.4 Ngukur Résistansi (Ω)

Awas: Pastikeun sirkuit geus de-energized sarta sakabeh kapasitor discharged saméméh ngukur lalawanan.

1. Selapkeun lead test hideung kana COM jack jeung test beureum kalungguhan kana VΩmA jack.
2. Set the function switch to the desired Ω range (e.g., x1, x10, x100, x1k).
3. Short the test leads together. Adjust the Ω ADJ knob until the needle points exactly to zero on the resistance scale.
4. Sambungkeun lead test kana komponén anu bakal diukur.
5. Read the resistance value from the Ω scale and multiply by the range factor.

4.5 Tés Continuity

The continuity test provides an audible indication for low resistance circuits.
