Maklumat Keselamatan

Always adhere to safety precautions when using the multimeter to prevent electric shock or damage to the instrument. Read all instructions before use.

  • Jangan melebihi nilai input maksimum untuk sebarang julat.
  • Berhati-hati apabila bekerja dengan voltagadalah melebihi 30V AC RMS, puncak 42V atau 60V DC. Ini voltagia menimbulkan bahaya kejutan.
  • Before measuring current, ensure the circuit is de-energized and the multimeter is connected in series.
  • Always disconnect test leads from the circuit before changing functions.
  • Inspect test leads for damaged insulation or exposed metal before each use.
  • Jangan kendalikan multimeter jika ia kelihatan rosak atau jika bekasnya terbuka.

Produk Selesaiview

The MS8217 features a clear LCD display, a rotary function switch, and multiple input jacks for various measurements.

Persediaan

Pemasangan Bateri:

The MS8217 requires three AAA batteries for operation. Batteries are not included with the device.

  1. Pastikan multimeter dimatikan.
  2. Cari petak bateri di bahagian belakang unit.
  3. Gunakan pemutar skru untuk membuka penutup petak bateri.
  4. Insert three AAA batteries, observing the correct polarity (+/-) as indicated inside the compartment.
  5. Gantikan penutup petak bateri dan kencangkannya dengan skru.

Menghubungkan Petunjuk Ujian:

Always connect the black test lead to the COM jack. Connect the red test lead to the appropriate input jack based on the measurement type.

  • Untuk Voltage, Resistance, Frequency, Capacitance, and Temperature measurements, connect the red lead to the VΩHzTemp jek.
  • Untuk miliampere or microampere current measurements, connect the red lead to the mAµA jek.
  • Untuk ampere current measurements, connect the red lead to the A jek.

Arahan Operasi

Operasi Am:

  1. Putar suis putar kepada fungsi pengukuran yang dikehendaki.
  2. Sambungkan wayar ujian ke litar atau komponen yang diuji.
  3. Baca nilai pengukuran pada paparan LCD.
  4. Gunakan JULAT button to switch between auto-ranging and manual ranging if needed.
  5. Tekan ke TAHAN button to freeze the display reading. Press again to release.

Specific Measurement Modes:

Vol. DC/ACtage Pengukuran:

Turn the rotary switch to V~ (AC Voltage) atau V- (Vol DCtage). Connect the test leads in parallel with the circuit or component. The display will show the voltage membaca.

Pengukuran Rintangan:

Turn the rotary switch to Ω. Ensure the circuit is de-energized before measuring resistance. Connect the test leads across the component. The display will show the resistance in Ohms (Ω), kilo-ohms (kΩ), or mega-ohms (MΩ).

Current Measurement (DC/AC):

Turn the rotary switch to A~ (AC Current) or A- (DC Current). Penting: Disconnect power to the circuit. Connect the multimeter in series with the circuit. Reapply power. The display will show the current reading. Be mindful of the maximum current rating for each input jack (mAµA vs. A).

Pengukuran Kapasitan:

Turn the rotary switch to the capacitance symbol (typically a capacitor icon). Ensure the capacitor is fully discharged before connecting the test leads. Connect the leads across the capacitor. The display will show the capacitance in Farads (F), microfarads (µF), or nanofarads (nF).

Pengukuran Suhu:

Turn the rotary switch to Temp. Connect the temperature probe (thermocouple) to the VΩHzTemp and COM jacks, observing polarity. Place the probe tip on or near the object whose temperature is to be measured. The display will show the temperature in Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F).

Penyelenggaraan

Pembersihan:

Lap kes dengan iklanamp kain dan detergen lembut. Jangan gunakan bahan pelelas atau pelarut. Pastikan terminal input bebas daripada kotoran dan lembapan.

Penggantian Bateri:

When the battery indicator appears on the display, replace the batteries as described in the "Battery Installation" section under Setup. Prompt battery replacement ensures accurate readings and proper operation.

Penggantian fius:

If the current measurement function fails, the fuse may need replacement. Refer to the specifications for the correct fuse type and rating. Fuse replacement should only be performed by qualified personnel. Ensure the multimeter is disconnected from all circuits and turned off before opening the case.
