2. Safety Information
WARNING: Improper use of this meter can cause damage, shock, injury, or death. Always follow all safety precautions.
- Gara uchiomerera kumakodhi ekuchengetedza emunharaunda uye enyika.
- Do not use the meter if it appears damaged or if the insulation on test leads is compromised.
- Iva nechokwadi chekuti mita yacho yagadzirwa kuti ishande zvakanaka uye kuti ienderane nehukuru hwayo usati waita zviyero.
- Avoid contact with live circuits. Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).
- The device is rated for CAT II 600V. Do not exceed these limits.
- Tsiva mabhatiri nekukasira kana chiratidzo chebhatiri chakaderera chaonekwa.
- Usashandise mita yacho munzvimbo dzine mhepo inoputika.
3. Chigadzirwa Pamusoroview uye Zvikamu
The PeakTech P 3131 is a robust and reliable clamp meter. Familiarize yourself with its main components:

- Clamp Rushaya: Kune isiri-kubata AC/DC ikozvino kuyerwa.
- Dhayina reSarudzo yeMabasa: To select measurement modes (A~, A=, V~, V=, Ω/Continuity, OFF).
- Chiratidziro cheLCD: Inoratidza kuverengwa kwekuyera, mayuniti, uye zviratidzo.
- Mabhatani: AC/DC, ZERO, H/MAX (Data Hold/Max Hold).
- Input Terminals: COM (common) and VΩ (voltage/resistance) for test leads.
- Hand Guard: Provides protection against accidental contact.
4. Setup
4.1 Kuiswa kwebhatiri
The PeakTech P 3131 requires two 1.5V AAA batteries (included). To install or replace batteries:
- Ita shuwa kuti mudziyo wakadzima.
- Tsvaga chivharo chebhatiri kuseri kwemamita.
- Shandisa screwdriver kuvhura compartment.
- Insert the two AAA batteries, observing correct polarity (+ and -).
- Tsiva chivharo chekamuri yebhatiri uye chengetedza nescuru.
Kana chiratidzo chebhatiri rakaderera chikaonekwa pachiratidziro, chinja mabhatiri nekukasika kuti uve nechokwadi chekuti zviyero zvakarurama.
4.2 Kubatanidza Miedzo Inotungamira
Zve voltage, resistance, and continuity measurements, connect the supplied test leads:
- Isa mutema bvunzo lead mu COM (common) input terminal.
- Isai dzvuku bvunzo lead mu VΩ input terminal.

5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Simba On/Kudzima
Rotate the function selector dial from the "OFF" position to any desired measurement function to power on the meter. To power off, rotate the dial back to "OFF". The meter features an automatic power-off function (can be deactivated) to conserve battery life.
5.2 AC/DC Chiyero Chazvino (Clamp)
To measure current without breaking the circuit:
- Shandura dhiyairi yebasa kune iyo A~ (AC Current) kana A= (DC Current) nzvimbo.
- Press the AC/DC button if you need to switch between AC and DC current modes (if the dial position combines them).
- Press the ZERO button to zero the display before measuring DC current, especially for small currents, to compensate for residual magnetism.
- Vhura clamp shaya nekudzvanya chitokisi.
- Enclose only Poshi conductor with the clamp Iva nechokwadi chekuti shaya yakavharwa zvizere.
- Verenga kukosha kwazvino paLCD kuratidza.

5.3 AC/DC Voltage Kuyera
Kuyera voltage:
- Batanidza ma "test leads" sezvakatsanangurwa muChikamu 4.2.
- Shandura dhiyairi yebasa kune iyo V~ (AC Voltage) kana V= (DC Voltage) chinzvimbo.
- Batanidza ma test probes akaenzana ne circuit kana chikamu chaunoda kuyera.
- Verenga bhukutage kukosha pane LCD kuratidza.
5.4 Kuyerwa kweKuramba uye Kuenderera Mberi
To measure resistance or check for continuity:
- Batanidza ma "test leads" sezvakatsanangurwa muChikamu 4.2.
- Shandura dhiyairi yebasa kune iyo Ω/))) (Resistance/Continuity) position.
- For resistance: Connect the test probes across the component. Ensure the circuit is de-energized.
- For continuity: Touch the test probes to the two points you want to check. A continuous beep indicates a low-resistance path (continuity).
- Verenga kukosha kwekupikisa pane LCD kuratidza.
5.5 Mabasa Akakosha
- Chokwadi RMS: The meter measures True Root Mean Square values for AC voltage and current, providing accurate readings for non-sinusoidal waveforms.
- Data Hold (H): Press the H/MAX bhatani kwenguva pfupi kuti uomese kuverenga kuripo pachiratidziro. Dzvanya zvakare kuti ubvise.
- Maximum Value Hold (MAX): Dzvanya uye ubate iyo H/MAX button to capture and display the maximum measured value. Press again to exit.
- ZERO Function: Used to zero the display for DC current measurements to eliminate offset errors.
- Auto Ranging: The meter automatically selects the appropriate measurement range.
- Auto Power Off: The meter automatically turns off after a period of inactivity to save battery. This feature can typically be disabled by holding a specific button during power-on (refer to the device's on-screen indicators or a more detailed manual if available).
