Sikkerhedsoplysninger
Always observe standard safety precautions when using any electrical testing equipment. Failure to do so may result in injury or damage to the meter or equipment under test.
- Anvend ikke voltage or current to the meter that exceeds the specified maximum limits for each range. The DMMW1 is rated CAT III 300V and CAT II 600V.
- Vær forsigtig, når du arbejder med voltagover 30V AC RMS, 42V peak eller 60V DC. Disse voluminertages udgør en stødfare.
- Ensure the test leads are in good condition, without any cracks or broken insulation.
- Frakobl altid testledningerne fra kredsløbet, før funktionskontaktens position ændres.
- Brug ikke måleren, hvis den ser beskadiget ud, eller hvis huset er åbent.
- Udskift batteriet med det samme, når indikatoren for lavt batteri vises, for at sikre nøjagtige aflæsninger.
- The 200mA input is fused. Ensure the correct fuse type is used for replacement.

Opsætning
1. Batteriinstallation
The DMMW1 requires one A23 (12-volt) battery for operation. A battery is typically included. To install or replace the battery:
- Sørg for, at måleren er slukket, og at testledningerne er frakoblet.
- Find batterirummet på bagsiden af måleren.
- Open the compartment cover (usually secured by a screw or latch).
- Insert the A23 12V battery, observing the correct polarity (+ and -).
- Luk batterirummets dæksel forsvarligt.
2. Tilslutning af testledninger
Connect the black test lead to the "COM" (common) input jack. Connect the red test lead to the "VΩmAµA" input jack for most measurements (voltage, resistance, diode, and current up to 200mA).
Betjeningsvejledning
Tænd/sluk
Press the red power button (labeled with a circle and vertical line) to turn the meter on or off. The meter does not have an automatic shutoff feature, so remember to turn it off manually after use to conserve battery life.
Funktionsvalg
Rotate the central switch to select the desired measurement function and range. Always start with the highest range if the approximate value of the measurement is unknown, then switch to a lower range for better resolution if necessary.
1. DC Voltage-måling (V DC)
- Indstil drejekontakten til den ønskede DC-volumentage range (e.g., 500V, 200V, 20V, 2000mV, 200mV).
- Tilslut den røde testledning til den positive (+) side af kredsløbet og den sorte testledning til den negative (-) side.
- Læs bindtage value on the display. If a negative sign appears, it indicates reversed polarity.
2. AC Voltage-måling (V AC)
- Indstil drejekontakten til den ønskede AC-volumentage range (e.g., 500V, 200V, 20V, 2000mV, 200mV).
- Tilslut testledningerne på tværs af AC-volumentage kilde.
- Læs bindtage -værdi på displayet.
3. Modstandsmåling (Ω)
- Sørg for, at kredsløbet er spændingsløst, før du måler modstanden.
- Set the rotary switch to the desired Resistance range (e.g., 200Ω, 2000Ω, 20kΩ, 200kΩ, 2000kΩ).
- Tilslut testledningerne på tværs af den komponent eller det kredsløb, der skal måles.
- Read the resistance value on the display. Note that at higher resistances (100K ohms and up), the DMMW1 may take several seconds for its reading to stabilize.
4. Current Measurement (mA/µA)
- Sørg for, at kredsløbet er spændingsløst, før måleren serieforbindes.
- Set the rotary switch to the desired Current range (e.g., 2000µA, 200mA).
- Open the circuit where current is to be measured and connect the meter in series. The red lead goes to the higher potential side, and the black lead to the lower potential side.
- Tilslut strøm til kredsløbet, og aflæs strømværdien på displayet.
- Caution: The 200mA input is fused. Do not attempt to measure currents exceeding 200mA on this range.
5. Diodetest (▲)
- Set the rotary switch to the Diode Test position (triangle symbol).
- Tilslut den røde testledning til anoden og den sorte testledning til katoden på dioden. En fremadrettet voluminiumledningtage drop vil blive vist.
- Vend ledningerne om. Displayet skal vise "OL" (Open Loop) for en god diode.
6. Kontinuitetstest (🔊)
- Set the rotary switch to the Continuity Test position (speaker symbol).
- Tilslut testledningerne på tværs af kredsløbet eller komponenten.
- If the resistance is below a certain threshold (typically around 30-50 ohms), the meter will emit an audible beep, indicating continuity.
7. Battery Test (BATT)
- Set the rotary switch to the 9V BATT or 1.5V BATT position.
- Connect the red test lead to the positive (+) terminal of the battery and the black test lead to the negative (-) terminal.
- Læs batterivolumentage on the display. This function applies a load to the battery for a more accurate assessment of its condition.
Data Hold-funktion
Tryk på knappen "HOLD" for at fryse den aktuelle aflæsning på displayet. Tryk igen for at slippe hold-knappen og genoptage live-aflæsningerne.
Opretholdelse
Rensning
Tør målerens hus af med enamp en klud og et mildt rengøringsmiddel. Brug ikke slibemidler eller opløsningsmidler. Hold indgangsterminalerne fri for snavs og fugt.
Udskiftning af batteri
Refer to the "Setup" section for instructions on replacing the A23 (12V) battery. Replace the battery when the low battery indicator appears on the display to ensure accurate measurements.
Udskiftning af sikring
The 200mA input is protected by a fuse. If the meter fails to measure current on the mA/µA ranges, the fuse may need replacement. This should only be performed by qualified personnel. Ensure to use a fuse with the correct rating (e.g., 200mA, 250V fast-blow type) to maintain safety and performance.
Fejlfinding
- No Display / Meter Does Not Turn On: Kontroller batteriet. Sørg for, at det er korrekt installeret og har tilstrækkelig opladning. Udskift det om nødvendigt.
- "OL" (Overbelastning)-visning: The measured value exceeds the selected range. Switch to a higher range or check if the circuit is open.
- Forkerte aflæsninger:
- Ensure the correct function and range are selected.
- Kontrollér testledningernes forbindelser; sørg for, at de er helt isat og ikke er beskadigede.
- Kontroller, at batteriet ikke er lavt.
- Ensure the circuit is de-energized for resistance and continuity measurements.
- Ingen strømmåling: Check the 200mA fuse. If blown, replace it with the correct type and rating.
