6.2.6. Non-Contact Voltage (NCV) Detektion
- Indstil drejekontakten til NCV-positionen.
- Move the top end of the meter close to the AC voltage source (e.g., a live wire).
- The meter will beep and the NCV indicator light will flash if AC voltage is detected. The frequency of beeps and flashes increases with stronger signals.
For other functions like Current (AC/DC), Capacitance, Frequency, Duty Cycle, and Temperature, follow similar steps, ensuring the rotary switch is set to the correct function and test leads are connected to the appropriate input jacks.
7. Vedligeholdelse
7.1. Rensning
Tør sagen af med annonceamp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasives or solvents. Keep the terminals free from dirt or dust, which can affect readings.
7.2. Udskiftning af batteri
When the low battery indicator appears on the display, replace the batteries immediately to ensure accurate readings. Refer to Section 5.1 for battery installation instructions.
7.3. Udskiftning af sikring
If the meter fails to measure current, the fuse may be blown. To replace the fuse:
- Ensure the meter is turned OFF and disconnect all test leads.
- Åbn batterirummet som beskrevet i afsnit 5.1.
- Locate the fuse(s). The MS8251A typically uses a 10A fuse for the 10A input and a 600mA fuse for the mA/μA input.
- Carefully remove the old fuse and replace it with a new fuse of the same type and rating.
- Sæt batteridækslet på igen, og spænd skruen/skruerne.
Note: Always use fuses with the specified voltage and current ratings for safety and proper operation.
