4. Connect the test probes across the component to be measured (ensure the component is de-energized).
5. Read the resistance value from the Ohm scale and multiply by the selected range multiplier.

6.6 Battery Test (BATT)

8. Одржавање

8.1 Чишћење

Да бисте очистили мултиметар, обришите кућиште адamp крпом и благим детерџентом. Не користите абразивна средства или раствараче. Пре чишћења проверите да ли је уређај искључен из напајања и одвојен од свих струјних кола.

8.2 Замена батерије

When the battery indicator shows low power, replace the batteries promptly to ensure accurate readings. Refer to Section 5.1 for battery installation instructions.

8.3 Замена осигурача

Ако функција мерења струје престане да ради, осигурач је можда прегорео. Да бисте заменили осигурач:

1. Ensure the multimeter is powered off and disconnected from all circuits.
2. Open the battery cover on the back of the unit (refer to Figure 5.1).
3. Carefully remove the old fuse(s).
4. Replace with new fuses of the specified ratings: 0.5A/250V for mA ranges and 10A/250V for the 10A range.
5. Добро затворите поклопац батерије.

КСНУМКС. Решавање проблема

• No reading or unstable reading: Check battery levels and replace if necessary. Ensure test leads are securely connected and not damaged. Verify the rotary switch is set to the correct function and range.
• Incorrect resistance reading: Perform Ohm adjustment (zeroing) as described in Section 6.5. Ensure the component being tested is de-energized.
• Мерење струје не ради: Check the fuse(s) and replace if blown (refer to Section 8.3). Ensure the meter is connected in series with the circuit.
• Needle not moving: Ensure the meter is powered on (if applicable for specific functions) and the test leads are making good contact.

10. Савети корисника

• Увек почните са највишим распоном: Приликом мерења непознате волtage or current, always start with the highest range setting and then decrease it until you get a suitable reading. This prevents overloading the meter.
• Zero Ohm adjustment: Remember to perform the Ohm adjustment (zeroing) every time you change the resistance range for accurate readings.
• Observe polarity: For DC measurements, observing polarity is important. If the needle deflects backward, reverse the test leads.
• Analog vs. Digital: Analog multimeters are great for observing trends and fluctuating signals, as the needle movement can show changes more dynamically than a digital display.
