5. Configuración
5.1 Instalación da batería
The multimeter requires three (3) 1.5V AAA batteries for operation. To install or replace batteries:
- Asegúrese de que o multímetro estea apagado.
- Locate the battery compartment on the back of the meter (refer to Figure 4.3).
- Usa un destornillador para afrouxar o parafuso que asegura a tapa da batería.
- Retire a tapa da batería.
- Insert three new 1.5V AAA batteries, observing the correct polarity (+/-) as indicated inside the compartment.
- Coloque a tapa da batería e aperte firmemente o parafuso.
5.2 Conexión dos cables de proba
Always connect the black test lead to the "COM" (Common) input jack. Connect the red test lead to the "VΩ" input jack for voltage, resistance, continuity, and diode measurements. Ensure connections are firm.

6. Instrucións de funcionamento
This section details how to perform various measurements using the 61-327 Multimeter.
6.1 Medición AC/DC Voltage
- Xire o interruptor rotatorio ao volume de CA desexadotage (V~) ou Vol. CCtage (V=) range. Select a range higher than the expected voltage.
- Conecte o cable de proba negro á toma "COM" e o cable de proba vermello á toma "VΩ".
- Conecte as sondas de proba en paralelo ao circuíto ou compoñente que desexe medir.
- Le o voltago valor da pantalla.
6.2 Medición da resistencia (Ω)
- AVISO: Asegúrese de que o circuíto estea desenergizado e de que todos os condensadores estean descargados antes de medir a resistencia.
- Xire o interruptor rotatorio ao rango de resistencia (Ω) desexado.
- Conecte o cable de proba negro á toma "COM" e o cable de proba vermello á toma "VΩ".
- Connect the test probes across the component where resistance is to be measured.
- Lea o valor de resistencia na pantalla.
6.3 Proba de continuidade
- AVISO: Asegúrese de que o circuíto estea desenergizado antes de realizar unha proba de continuidade.
- Turn the rotary switch to the Continuity (•))) position.
- Conecte o cable de proba negro á toma "COM" e o cable de proba vermello á toma "VΩ".
- Toca as sondas de proba nos dous puntos nos que queres comprobar a continuidade.
- An audible tone indicates continuity (low resistance). The display will show the resistance value.
6.4 Proba de diodo
- AVISO: Ensure the circuit is de-energized before performing a diode test.
- Turn the rotary switch to the Diode (→|) position.
- Conecte o cable de proba negro á toma "COM" e o cable de proba vermello á toma "VΩ".
- Connect the red test probe to the anode and the black test probe to the cathode of the diode.
- A pantalla mostrará o volume de avancetage drop. Reverse the probes; the display should show "OL" (Open Loop) for a good diode.
6.5 Battery Test (1.5V / 9V)
- Turn the rotary switch to the 1.5V or 9V battery test position.
- Conecte o cable de proba negro á toma "COM" e o cable de proba vermello á toma "VΩ".
- Connect the red test probe to the positive terminal of the battery and the black test probe to the negative terminal.
