Gadzirira

1. Kuiswa kwebhatiri

The Voltcraft VC-523 SE typically uses AAA batteries. If batteries are not pre-installed or need replacement:

1. Iva nechokwadi chekuti mita yadzimwa.
2. Tsvaga nzvimbo yebhatiri iri kumashure kwemita (tarisa Mufananidzo 3).
3. Vhura chivharo chebhatiri.
4. Insert the batteries, observing the correct polarity (+ and - markings).
5. Tsiva chivharo chekamuri yebhatiri uye chengetedza nescuru.

2. Kubatanidza Test Leads

Zve voltage, resistance, capacitance, frequency, and temperature measurements:

• Isa mutema bvunzo lead mu COM jack yekupinda.
• Isai dzvuku bvunzo lead mu VΩCAPHzTEMP jack yekupinda.

Operating Instruction

Turn the rotary switch to the desired function. Press the MODE button to cycle through sub-functions if available (e.g., AC/DC voltage, resistance/continuity).

1. Kuyerwa Kwemazuva Ano kweAC/DC (Cl)amp Rushaya)

1. Shandura switch ye rotary ku 400A~ (AC Current) kana 400A- (DC Current) nzvimbo.
2. Dzvanya rushaya kuti uvhure clamp shaya.
3. Enclose only Poshi conductor of the circuit to be measured within the clamp shaya.
4. Verenga kukosha kwazvino paLCD kuratidza.
5. Cherechedza: For DC current, use the REL (Relative) function to zero out any residual readings before measurement.

2. AC/DC Voltage Kuyera

1. Connect the test leads as described in "Connecting Test Leads".
2. Shandura switch ye rotary ku V~ (AC Voltage) kana V- (DC Voltage) position. Use the MODE button to switch between AC and DC if needed.
3. Connect the test probes in parallel to the circuit or component to be measured.
4. Verenga bhukutage kukosha pane LCD kuratidza.

3. Resistance (Ω) and Continuity Measurement

1. Batanidza vatungamiriri vebvunzo.
2. Shandura switch ye rotary ku Ω position. Press MODE to select between Resistance and Continuity.
3. For resistance, connect the probes across the component. For continuity, touch the probes to the points to be tested. A continuous beep indicates continuity.

4. Capacitance (CAP) Measurement

1. Batanidza vatungamiriri vebvunzo.
2. Shandura switch ye rotary ku CAP chinzvimbo.
3. Discharge the capacitor before connecting the probes. Connect the probes across the capacitor terminals.

5. Frequency (Hz) Measurement

1. Batanidza vatungamiriri vebvunzo.
2. Shandura switch ye rotary ku Hz% chinzvimbo.
3. Batanidza probes kune iyo chiratidzo sosi.

6. Temperature (TEMP) Measurement

1. Shandura switch ye rotary ku TEMP chinzvimbo.
2. Connect the K-type thermocouple probe to the input jacks, observing polarity.
3. Isa thermocouple tip pa kana pedyo nechinhu chine tembiricha inofanira kuyerwa.

7. Vasina-Kubata Voltage (NCV) Kuonekwa

1. Turn the rotary switch to any position other than OFF.
2. Dzvanya uye ubate iyo NCV/Flashlight button. The NCV indicator will light up.
3. Move the NCV sensor (top of the clamp jaw) close to the live conductor. The meter will beep and the NCV indicator will flash with increasing frequency as it detects voltage.

8. Tochi

Press the NCV/Flashlight button briefly to turn the flashlight ON or OFF.

9. Data Hold (HOLD) and Backlight

Press the BATA/Backlight button briefly to freeze the current reading on the display. Press again to release. Press and hold the button to turn the display backlight ON or OFF.

Maintenance

1. Kuchenesa

Pukuta nyaya yacho neadamp jira nesipo isina kunyorova. Usashandise zvinogumbura kana zvinonyungudutsa. Chengeta nzvimbo dzekupinda dzisina tsvina kana hunyoro.

2. Kutsiviwa kwebhatiri

When the low battery indicator appears on the display, replace the batteries as described in the "Battery Installation" section. Always use new batteries of the specified type.

3. Kuchengeta

If the meter is not to be used for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent leakage and damage to the meter. Store the meter in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
