2. Iniciación
2.1. Instalación da batería
The EX330 multimeter requires two AAA batteries for operation. To install or replace batteries:
- Asegúrate de que o multímetro estea apagado.
- Localice o compartimento da batería na parte traseira da unidade.
- Use un desaparafusador para abrir a tapa do compartimento da batería.
- Insira dúas pilas AAA, respectando a polaridade correcta (+ e -) tal como se indica no interior do compartimento.
- Coloque a tapa do compartimento da batería e fíxaa co parafuso.
2.2. Conexión dos cables de proba
The multimeter comes with a set of red and black test leads. Proper connection is crucial for accurate and safe measurements.
- Conecte sempre o cable de proba negro ao COM Toma de entrada (común).
- Para a maioría dos volumestage, resistance, and continuity measurements, connect the red test lead to the V/Ω/µA/CAP/Hz/Temp toma de entrada.
- For current measurements up to 400mA, connect the red test lead to the mA toma de entrada.
- For high current measurements up to 10A, connect the red test lead to the 10A toma de entrada.
3. Instrucións de funcionamento
3.1. Acendido/apagado
To turn the multimeter on, rotate the function switch from the DESACTIVADO position to any desired measurement function. To turn the multimeter off, rotate the function switch back to the DESACTIVADO posición.
3.2. Function Selection (Rotary Dial)
The large rotary dial on the front of the multimeter allows you to select the desired measurement function. The EX330 features automatic ranging, which simplifies operation by automatically selecting the correct measurement range.
- VAC / VDC: Measures AC or DC Voltage.
- mA / 10A: Measures AC or DC Current (milliampere ou ampere).
- Ω: Measures Resistance.
- CAP: Measures Capacitance.
- Hz /%: Measures Frequency and Duty Cycle.
- ° F / ° C: Measures Temperature in Fahrenheit or Celsius.
- Diodo / Continuidade: Tests diodes and checks for circuit continuity.
3.3. Vol. sen contactotagDetección e (NCV).
The NCV feature allows for quick detection of AC voltage without direct contact, enhancing safety when working with electrical systems. To use the NCV function, press and hold the NCV button. The top of the meter will illuminate and an audible tone will sound if AC voltage é detectado.
3.4. VootagMedición (CA/CC)
Para medir voltage:
- Establece o dial rotativo para VAC or VDC segundo corresponda.
- Conecte o cable de proba negro ao COM conector e o cable de proba vermello para o V/Ω/µA/CAP/Hz/Temp jack.
- Connect the test probes in parallel across the circuit or component to be measured.
- Le o voltago valor da pantalla LCD.
3.5. Temperature Measurement (Type K)
The EX330 includes a Type K temperature probe for accurate temperature readings.
- Establece o dial rotativo para °F or °C.
- Plug the Type K temperature probe into the V/Ω/µA/CAP/Hz/Temp e COM input jacks, observing polarity.
- Coloque a punta da sonda de temperatura sobre ou preto do obxecto cuxa temperatura se vai medir.
- Allow time for the reading to stabilize on the display.
3.6. Data Hold and Max Hold
- Preme o ATENCIÓN botón para conxelar a lectura actual na pantalla. Prema de novo para soltala.
- Preme o MODO button repeatedly while in certain functions to cycle through sub-functions or to activate ATENCIÓN MÁXIMA, which captures and displays the maximum measured value.
