4. Configuración e instalación da batería
The Extech ET60 requires 2 AAA batteries for operation. These are typically included with the device.
- Localice a tapa do compartimento das baterías na parte traseira do probador.
- Use a suitable tool (e.g., a small screwdriver) to open the battery compartment.
- Insira 2 pilas AAA, asegurándose de manter a polaridade correcta (+/-) como se indica no interior do compartimento.
- Peche ben a tapa do compartimento da batería.
- Test the unit by pressing the flashlight button or by performing a quick continuity check on a known circuit.
5. Instrucións de funcionamento
5.1. AC Voltage Indicación
The ET60 indicates AC voltage across seven ranges. When connected to an AC circuit, the corresponding LED(s) will illuminate.
- Connect the red and black test leads to the points where AC voltage hai que medir.
- The tester will vibrate, and the LEDs corresponding to the detected voltage range will light up.
- AC voltage ranges: 24V, 120V, 208V, 240V, 277V, 480V, 600V.
- AC bandwidth: 45 to 66Hz.
5.2. DC Voltage Indicación
The ET60 indicates DC voltage across seven ranges. When connected to a DC circuit, the corresponding LED(s) will illuminate.
- Connect the red and black test leads to the points where DC voltage is to be measured, observing polarity.
- The tester will vibrate, and the LEDs corresponding to the detected voltage range will light up.
- DC voltage ranges: 6V, 12V, 24V, 36V, 48V, 110V, 220V.
5.3. Proba de continuidade
The continuity test function checks for a complete electrical path between two points.
- Ensure the circuit under test is de-energized before performing a continuity test.
- Touch the red and black test leads to the two points you wish to test for continuity.
- If continuity is detected, the tester will emit an audible beep and a visual alert (LED).
5.4. Vol. sen contactotagDetección e (NCV).
The NCV feature allows for quick detection of live AC voltage without direct contact with conductors.
- Hold the NCV sensor tip (top of the tester) near the conductor or outlet you suspect is live.
- Se AC voltage (90 to 1000Vac) is detected, the NCV indicator will illuminate, and an audible alert may sound.
- This feature is for preliminary detection and should be confirmed with direct contact voltage medición.
5.5. Función da lanterna
The built-in flashlight assists in illuminating dark work areas.
- Press the flashlight button (if present, or refer to device markings) to turn the flashlight on or off.
6. Mantemento
- Limpeza: Wipe the tester with a dry, clean cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Substitución da batería: Replace batteries when the low battery indicator appears or if the tester's performance degrades. Refer to Section 4 for battery installation.
- Almacenamento: Store the tester in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Remove batteries if storing for extended periods to prevent leakage.
- Inspección: Regularly inspect the test leads and housing for any signs of damage, cracks, or frayed insulation. Do not use a damaged tester.
7 Solución de problemas
| Problema | Causa posible | Solución |
|---|---|---|
| O probador non se acende. | Baterías gastadas ou instaladas incorrectamente. | Substitúa as pilas, asegurándose de que a polaridade sexa correcta. |
| Vol. imprecisotage lecturas. | Low battery, damaged leads, or incorrect application. | Replace batteries. Inspect leads for damage. Ensure proper contact with the circuit. |
| A proba de continuidade falla nun circuíto que se sabe que está en bo estado. | Low battery, poor contact, or internal fault. | Replace batteries. Ensure firm contact with test points. If problem persists, contact support. |
| NCV non detecta volumetage. | Voltage too low, shielded wire, or NCV sensor not positioned correctly. | Garantir voltage is within 90-1000Vac range. Try different angles. Confirm with direct contact measurement. |
