4.2. Kubatanidza Test Leads
The multimeter is supplied with a pair of test leads (red and black).
- Insert the black test lead mu COM Jeki yekupinda (Yakajairika).
- Pazviyero zvakawanda (voltage, resistance, low current), insert the red test lead mu VΩmA jack yekupinda.
- For high DC current measurements (up to 10A), insert the red test lead mu 10ADC jack yekupinda.
5. Operating Instructions
To operate the multimeter, select the desired function and range using the rotary switch.
5.1. Kuyera DC Voltage (DCV)
- Insert the red lead into the VΩmA jack and the black lead into the COM jack.
- Set the rotary switch to the desired DCV range (e.g., 200m, 2000m, 20, 200, 1000). Start with the highest range if the voltage hazvizikanwi.
- Batanidza bvunzo dzinotungamira mukati mechikamu kana dunhu kuti kuyerwa.
- Verenga bhukutage kukosha pane LCD kuratidza.
5.2. Kuyera AC Voltage (ACV)
- Insert the red lead into the VΩmA jack and the black lead into the COM jack.
- Set the rotary switch to the desired ACV range (e.g., 200, 750). Start with the highest range if the voltage hazvizikanwi.
- Batanidza bvunzo dzinotungamira mukati mechikamu kana dunhu kuti kuyerwa.
- Verenga bhukutage kukosha pane LCD kuratidza.
5.3. Kuyera DC Current (DCA)
- For currents up to 200mA: Insert the red lead into the VΩmA jack and the black lead into the COM jack.
- For currents up to 10A: Insert the red lead into the 10ADC jack and the black lead into the COM jack.
- Set the rotary switch to the desired DCA range (e.g., 200μ, 2000μ, 20m, 200m, 10A). Start with the highest range if the current is unknown.
- Dzima simba kudunhu. Open the circuit where the current is to be measured.
- Batanidza multimeter muzvikamu zvakatevedzana nedunhu.
- Isa simba kudunhu uye uverenge kukosha kwazvino paLCD kuratidza.
5.4. Kuyera Kuramba (Ω)
- Insert the red lead into the VΩmA jack and the black lead into the COM jack.
- Set the rotary switch to the desired Resistance (Ω) range (e.g., 200, 2000, 20k, 200k, 2000k).
