3. Подешавање
3.1. Power Probe 3
- Инсталација батерије: The Power Probe 3 is typically powered by the vehicle's battery. Connect the red lead to the positive (+) terminal and the black lead to the negative (-) terminal of the vehicle battery.
- Probe Tip Attachment: Ensure the probe tip is securely attached to the Power Probe 3 unit.
3.2. Digital Multimeter
- Инсталација батерије: Open the battery compartment (usually on the back) and insert the required batteries, observing polarity.
- Lead Connection: Connect the black test lead to the "COM" (common) jack. Connect the red test lead to the appropriate jack for the measurement type (e.g., "VΩmA" for voltage, resistance, or current).
3.3. Auto AC Temperature Testing Kit
- Инсталација батерије: Install batteries into the main display unit and each wireless temperature sensor, ensuring correct polarity.
- Положај сензора: Place the wireless temperature sensors into the vehicle's AC vents or other desired measurement locations.
- Укључено: Turn on the main display unit and each sensor. The display unit should automatically connect to the sensors.
4. Упутство за употребу
4.1. Using the Power Probe 3
The Power Probe 3 is used to apply power or ground to components and test for voltage and continuity.
- Волtagе Тестирање: Touch the probe tip to the circuit or component. The LCD screen will display the voltage. Red/Green lights indicate positive/negative polarity.
- Applying Power/Ground: Use the rocker switch to apply battery voltage or ground to a component for functional testing. Exercise caution to avoid short circuits.
- Тестирање континуитета: Connect the auxiliary ground lead to a known good ground. Touch the probe tip to the component. The LCD will indicate continuity.
Слика 4.1: A Power Probe 3 being used to test an automotive fuse box. The probe tip is inserted into a fuse slot, and the LCD screen displays the voltage reading, while the red and black leads are connected to the vehicle's battery.
4.2. Using the Digital Multimeter
The Digital Multimeter can measure various electrical parameters.
- Волtage (DC/AC): Окрените окретни прекидач на жељену јачину звукаtage range (DCV or ACV). Connect the test leads in parallel with the circuit or component.
- Отпор (Ω): Turn the rotary switch to the Ω (ohms) range. Ensure the circuit is de-energized. Connect the test leads across the component.
- Струја (А): Turn the rotary switch to the desired current range (DCA or ACA). Connect the multimeter in series with the circuit. Опрез: Incorrect connection can damage the multimeter or vehicle.
- континуитет: Turn the rotary switch to the continuity setting (often indicated by a speaker icon). A beep indicates continuity.
- Остале функције: Refer to the multimeter's specific markings for frequency, temperature, and capacitance measurements.
