4. Instrucións de funcionamento
4.1 Encendido/apagado
To turn on the multimeter, rotate the knob switch from the 'OFF' position to any desired measurement function. To turn off the multimeter, rotate the knob switch back to the 'OFF' position. The device features an automatic power-off function to save battery life if left idle for a period.
4.2 Medicións básicas
The DM Mini is an auto-ranging multimeter, simplifying operation by automatically selecting the appropriate measurement range.
4.2.1 voltagMedición (CA/CC)
Para medir voltage:
- Rotate the knob switch to the 'V=' (DC Voltage) or 'V~' (AC Voltage) posición.
- Connect the red test lead to the positive (+) side of the circuit and the black test lead to the negative (-) side (for DC) or across the points for AC.
- Le o voltago valor da pantalla LCD.

4.2.2 Medición de resistencia (Ω)
Para medir a resistencia:
- Rotate the knob switch to the 'Ω' (Resistance) position.
- Asegúrese de que o circuíto estea desconectado antes de conectar os cables de proba ao compoñente que se vai medir.
- Lea o valor da resistencia na pantalla LCD.
4.2.3 Proba de continuidade (♫)
Para realizar unha proba de continuidade:
- Rotate the knob switch to the '♫' (Continuity) position.
- Conecte os cables de proba a través do circuíto ou compoñente.
- Se hai continuidade (baixa resistencia), o multímetro emitirá un pitido audible.
4.2.4 Diode Test (†)
Para probar un diodo:
- Rotate the knob switch to the '†' (Diode) position.
- Conecte o cable de proba vermello ao ánodo e o cable de proba negro ao cátodo do díodo.
- Observe o voltage drop on the display. Reverse the leads to check for open circuit (OL) in reverse bias.
4.2.5 Medición de capacitancia (F)
Para medir a capacidade:
- Rotate the knob switch to the 'F' (Capacitance) position.
- Asegúrese de que o condensador estea completamente descargado antes de conectar os cables de proba.
- Conecte os cables de proba a través do condensador.
- Le o valor da capacidade na pantalla LCD.
4.2.6 Frequency and Duty Cycle Measurement (Hz/DUTY)
Para medir a frecuencia ou o ciclo de traballo:
- Rotate the knob switch to the 'Hz/DUTY' position.
- Conecte os cables de proba á fonte de sinal.
- The display will show the frequency (Hz). Press the 'RANGE' button to toggle to duty cycle measurement.
4.3 Función de retención de datos
Press the 'H' (Data Hold) button to freeze the current reading on the display. Press it again to release the hold and resume live readings.
