2.2 Conexión dos cables de proba
The multimeter comes with two test leads, typically one red (positive) and one black (negative/common). Proper connection is crucial for accurate and safe measurements.
- Para a maioría dos volumestage, resistance, and low current measurements, connect the black lead to the 'COM' (Common) jack.
- Connect the red lead to the 'V-Ω-mA' jack for voltage, resistencia e miliampmedicións de corrente aquí.
- Para medicións de corrente alta (ata 10 A), conecte o cable vermello á toma de 10 A. Always ensure the correct jack is used to prevent damage to the meter or circuit.

3.1 Medir Vol. CCtage (DCV)
- Set the rotary dial to the desired DCV range (e.g., 200m, 2, 20, 200, 1000). Choose a range higher than the expected voltage.
- Connect the red lead to the positive (+) side of the circuit and the black lead to the negative (-) side.
- Le o voltago valor da pantalla.
3.2 Medición AC Voltage (ACV)
- Set the rotary dial to the desired ACV range (e.g., 200m, 2, 20, 200, 750). Choose a range higher than the expected voltage.
- Conecte os cables de proba a través da tensión de CAtage source. Polarity does not matter for AC voltage.
- Le o voltago valor da pantalla.
3.3 Medición da resistencia (Ω)
- Asegúrese de que o circuíto ou compoñente estea desconectado antes de medir a resistencia.
- Set the rotary dial to the desired Ω range (e.g., 200, 2K, 20K, 200K, 2M, 20M, 200M).
- Conecte os cables de proba ao compoñente que se vai medir.
- Lea o valor de resistencia na pantalla.
3.4 Measuring DC Current (DCA)
- Asegúrate de que o circuíto estea desenergizado.
- Set the rotary dial to the desired DCA range (e.g., 200µ, 2m, 20m, 200m, 10A).
- Importante: For currents up to 200mA, use the 'V-Ω-mA' jack for the red lead. For currents up to 10A, use the '10A' jack.
- Break the circuit and connect the multimeter in series with the load. The current must flow through the multimeter.
- Re-energize the circuit and read the current value.
3.5 Measuring AC Current (ACA)
- Asegúrate de que o circuíto estea desenergizado.
- Set the rotary dial to the desired ACA range (e.g., 200µ, 2m, 20m, 200m, 10A).
- Importante: For currents up to 200mA, use the 'V-Ω-mA' jack for the red lead. For currents up to 10A, use the '10A' jack.
- Cortar o circuíto e conectar o multímetro en serie coa carga.
- Re-energize the circuit and read the current value.
3.6 Measuring Capacitance (CX)
- Asegúrese de que o condensador estea completamente descargado antes da proba.
- Set the rotary dial to the CX range (e.g., 2n, 20n, 200n, 2µ, 20µ).
- Conecte os cables de proba aos terminais do condensador.
- Lea o valor da capacidade na pantalla.
3.7 Diode and Transistor (hFE) Testing
Refer to the specific markings on the dial for diode and transistor testing functions. Typically, diode test mode allows checking the forward voltage drop of a diode, and hFE mode is used for measuring the DC current gain of transistors.
4. Mantemento
4.1 Substitución da batería
Replace the 9V 006P battery when the low battery indicator appears on the display or if the multimeter fails to power on. Follow the instructions in Section 2.1.
4.2 Limpeza
