6. Penyelesaian masalah

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your ALIENTEK DM40 multimeter.

6.1 "OL" Display (Overload)

If the display shows "OL" (Overload), it indicates that the measured value exceeds the current range or maximum input limit of the selected function. To resolve this:

  • If in manual range mode, switch to a higher measurement range.
  • Ensure the input is within the device's specified maximum limits for the selected function.
  • For current measurements, verify that the test lead is inserted into the correct current measurement port (A mA μA) and not the voltage pelabuhan.

6.2 No Reading or Inaccurate Readings

  • Check Test Lead Connections: Ensure the test leads are securely inserted into the correct ports on the multimeter and are making good contact with the circuit being measured.
  • Tahap Bateri: Verify that the battery is sufficiently charged. A low battery can affect measurement accuracy.
  • Correct Mode Selection: Confirm that the appropriate measurement mode (e.g., DC Voltage, AC Current, Resistance) is selected for the task.
  • Damaged Leads: Inspect the test leads for any signs of damage (e.g., frayed wires, broken insulation). Replace damaged leads immediately.

6.3 Peranti Tidak Dihidupkan

  • Mengecas Bateri: Connect the multimeter to a power source using the USB-C cable and allow it to charge for some time.
  • Butang Kuasa: Ensure the power button is pressed and held correctly.
