4.1 Pemasangan Bateri

The VC-533 requires standard batteries (refer to specifications for type). To install or replace batteries:

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

4.2 Menghubungkan Petunjuk Ujian

Untuk pengukuran yang memerlukan petunjuk ujian (volumtage, resistance, etc.):

1. Masukkan petunjuk ujian hitam ke dalam bicu input 'COM' (biasa).
2. Insert the red test lead into the 'VΩHz%CAP TEMP' input jack for most measurements.
3. For temperature measurements, connect the included temperature probe to the appropriate adapter and then to the input jacks.

5. Arahan Operasi

The VC-533 offers 8 measurement functions. Turn the rotary switch to the desired function. Use the 'MODE' button to cycle through sub-functions if applicable (e.g., AC/DC voltagdan).

5.1 Pengukuran Arus (AC/DC)

Untuk mengukur arus menggunakan clamp Rahang:

1. Turn the rotary switch to the '1000A' or '600A' position (for AC/DC current).
2. Press the 'MODE' button to select AC or DC current if necessary.
3. Buka clamp rahang dan hanya sertakan satu konduktor litar. Pastikan rahang ditutup sepenuhnya.
4. Baca nilai semasa pada paparan.

5.2 Jldtage Pengukuran (AC/DC)

Untuk mengukur voltage:

1. Turn the rotary switch to the 'V' position.
2. Press the 'MODE' button to select AC or DC voltage.
3. Sambungkan petunjuk ujian secara selari dengan litar atau komponen yang ingin anda ukur.
4. Baca voltagnilai e pada paparan.

5.3 Pengukuran Rintangan

Untuk mengukur rintangan:

1. Putar suis putar ke kedudukan 'Ω'.
2. Pastikan litar atau komponen dinyahtenagakan sebelum menyambungkan petunjuk ujian.
3. Sambungkan petunjuk ujian merentasi komponen.
4. Baca nilai rintangan pada paparan.

5.4 Pengukuran Suhu

Untuk mengukur suhu:

1. Turn the rotary switch to the 'TEMP' position.
2. Connect the temperature probe to the meter's input jacks.
3. Place the tip of the probe on or near the object whose temperature you wish to measure.
4. Baca nilai suhu pada paparan.

5.5 Pengukuran Kapasitansi

Untuk mengukur kapasiti:

1. Turn the rotary switch to the 'CAP' position.
2. Pastikan kapasitor dinyahcas sepenuhnya sebelum menyambungkan petunjuk ujian.
3. Sambungkan petunjuk ujian merentasi kapasitor.
4. Baca nilai kapasitans pada paparan.

5.6 Pengukuran Kekerapan

Untuk mengukur kekerapan:

1. Putar suis putar ke kedudukan 'Hz'.
2. Connect the test leads in parallel to the circuit where you want to measure frequency.
3. Baca nilai kekerapan pada paparan.

5.7 Ujian Kesinambungan

Untuk melakukan ujian kesinambungan:

1. Turn the rotary switch to the 'Ω' position and press 'MODE' until the continuity symbol (buzzer) appears.
2. Pastikan litar dinyahtenagakan.
3. Sambungkan petunjuk ujian merentasi litar atau komponen.
4. An audible beep indicates continuity (low resistance).
