Sikkerhedsoplysninger

WARNING: Read and understand all safety warnings and operating instructions before using this instrument. Failure to follow these instructions may result in electric shock, fire, or serious injury.

• Always ensure the test leads are properly connected and the function switch is set to the correct range before making any measurements.
• Overskrid ikke de maksimale inputværdier for noget område.
• Vær forsigtig, når du arbejder med voltagover 30V AC RMS, 42V peak eller 60V DC, da disse udgør en risiko for stød.
• Before measuring current, ensure the circuit is de-energized and the multimeter is connected in series with the load.
• Frakobl altid testledningerne fra kredsløbet, før funktionskontaktens position ændres.
• Udskift batterierne, når indikatoren for lavt batteri vises, for at sikre nøjagtige aflæsninger.
• Do not operate the meter if it appears damaged or if the test leads are damaged.

Betjeningsvejledning

This section details how to use the Mastech MS8360F for various measurements. Always ensure the meter is set to the correct function and range before connecting to a circuit.

Generel drift

• Tænd/sluk: Rotate the central switch to the desired function to turn the meter on. Rotate to "OFF" to turn it off.
• Automatisk sluk: The meter will automatically power off after approximately 15 minutes of inactivity to conserve battery life. Press any button or rotate the function switch to resume operation.
• Data Hold: Tryk på "HOLD"-knappen for at fryse den aktuelle aflæsning på displayet. Tryk igen for at slippe.
• Baggrundsbelysning: Press the "LIGHT" button (often combined with another function button) to turn the display backlight on/off.
• Relativ måling (REL): Press the "REL" button to store the current reading as a reference value. Subsequent readings will be displayed as the difference from this reference.
• MAX / MIN: Tryk på knappen "MAX/MIN" for at registrere maksimum- og minimumsværdierne under en målesession.

Måling DC Voltage (V–)

1. Insert the red test lead into the "V–™Hz%" jack and the black test lead into the "COM" jack.
2. Rotate the function switch to the "V–" position.
3. Tilslut testledningerne på tværs af den komponent eller det kredsløb, der skal måles, og overhold polariteten.
4. Læs bindtage -værdi på displayet.

Måling AC Voltage (V–™)

1. Insert the red test lead into the "V–™Hz%" jack and the black test lead into the "COM" jack.
2. Rotate the function switch to the "V–™" position.
3. Tilslut testledningerne på tværs af den komponent eller det kredsløb, der skal måles.
4. Læs bindtage -værdi på displayet.

Measuring DC Current (mA–, µA–, A–)

1. VIGTIG: Turn off power to the circuit before connecting the meter.
2. For currents up to 400mA, insert the red test lead into the "mA" jack. For currents up to 10A, insert the red test lead into the "10A" jack. Insert the black test lead into the "COM" jack.
3. Rotate the function switch to the appropriate "mA–", "µA–", or "A–" position.
4. Connect the meter in series with the circuit where current is to be measured.
5. Turn on power to the circuit.
6. Aflæs den aktuelle værdi på displayet.
7. VIGTIG: Turn off power to the circuit before disconnecting the meter.

Measuring AC Current (mA–™, µA–™, A–™)

1. Follow the same steps as for DC Current, but select the "mA–™", "µA–™", or "A–™" position on the function switch.
