2. Información de seguridade

Always observe safety precautions when using electrical testing equipment. Failure to do so may result in injury or damage to the device. Read all instructions carefully before use.

• Do not exceed the maximum input values specified for each measurement function.
• Ensure the test leads are in good condition and properly connected before making any measurements.
• Non empregues o dispositivo se parece estar danado ou non funciona correctamente.
• Extreme as precaucións ao traballar con circuítos con tensión.
• Desconecte sempre a alimentación do circuíto antes de medir resistencia, continuidade ou díodos.
• Keep hands and fingers behind the probe barriers during measurements.
• Replace batteries promptly when the low-battery indicator appears to ensure accurate readings.

4.2 Conectando a sonda

The included probe can be connected to the multimeter for various measurements.

1. Identify the input jack on the top of the multimeter.
2. Insert the plug end of the probe cable firmly into the input jack.
3. The probe tip can be removed or attached as needed for different measurement scenarios.

5. Instrucións de funcionamento

The SNAKOL SK216 features automatic ranging and function switching for ease of use. Press the power button to turn the device on or off. The device will typically start in auto-ranging mode.

5.1 Function Switching and Auto-Range

The multimeter automatically detects the measurement type (AC/DC voltage, resistance, continuity) when powered on. You can cycle through different measurement modes by pressing the function button (often labeled 'FUNC' or similar, or indicated by a specific icon).

5.2 DC Voltage Medición

Para medir DC voltage:

1. Ensure the multimeter is powered on and in DC voltage mode (often auto-detected).
2. Connect the black probe to the negative terminal and the red probe to the positive terminal of the DC source.
3. Le o voltago valor mostrado na pantalla LCD.

5.3 AC Voltage Medición

Para medir AC voltage:

1. Ensure the multimeter is powered on and in AC voltage mode (often auto-detected).
2. Carefully touch the probes to the live and neutral terminals of the AC source.
3. Le o voltago valor mostrado na pantalla LCD.

5.4 Medición de resistencia

Para medir a resistencia:

1. Asegúrese de que o circuíto ou compoñente estea desconectado antes de medir a resistencia.
2. Select resistance mode (Ω) or allow auto-detection.
3. Connect the probes across the component to be measured.
4. Lea o valor de resistencia na pantalla.

5.5 Proba de continuidade

The continuity test checks for an unbroken path in a circuit. A buzzer will sound if resistance is below approximately 50Ω.

1. Asegúrate de que o circuíto estea desenergizado.
2. Select continuity mode (often indicated by a speaker icon) or allow auto-detection.
3. Toca as sondas nos dous puntos nos que queres comprobar a continuidade.
4. A beep indicates continuity.

5.6 Vol. sen contactotagDetección e (NCV).

A función NCV permite a detección do volume de CAtage sen contacto directo, o que mellora a seguridade.

1. Select NCV mode (often indicated by a wave icon).
2. Bring the tip of the multimeter close to the conductor or electrical outlet.
3. An analog bar on the LCD screen, accompanied by beeps of varying rhythms, indicates the presence and strength of the electric field.

5.7 Live/Null Wire Identification (Firewire/Zero Line)

This function helps distinguish between live (fire) and neutral (zero) wires.

1. Touch the multimeter's tip to the wire.
2. For a live wire (firewire), the indicator light will illuminate, the screen will display "----", and a "beep beep beep" sound will be emitted.
3. For a neutral wire (zero line), the indicator light will not illuminate, the screen will display "L iUE", and no sound will be emitted.

5.8 Breakpoint Finder

The breakpoint finder function helps locate breaks in a cable.

1. Apply the multimeter tip along the length of the cable.
2. The device will indicate the presence of voltage up to the point of the break. The signal will cease or change significantly past the break.

5.9 Función de retención de datos

Prema o botón "HOLD" para conxelar a lectura actual na pantalla. Prémao de novo para desactivar a función de retención.

5.10 Lanterna

The built-in flashlight can be activated to illuminate dimly lit work areas. Refer to the device's buttons for flashlight activation (often a long press on a specific button or a dedicated button).

6. Mantemento

6.1 Coidados xerais
