4. Configuración
4.1. Instalación da batería
- Localice o compartimento das baterías na parte traseira do medidor.
- Usa un pequeno destornillador para abrir a tapa da batería.
- Insira 3 pilas AAA, asegurándose de manter a polaridade correcta (+/-).
- Coloque a tapa da batería e fíxaa co parafuso.
4.2. Conexión dos cables de proba
The ZIBOO FT-1000W comes with special MC4 test leads for direct connection to solar panels.
- Connect the red test lead to the positive (+) input terminal on the meter.
- Connect the black test lead to the negative (-) input terminal on the meter.
- Ensure the MC4 connectors on the test leads are securely attached to the corresponding connectors on your solar panel or array.

5. Instrucións de funcionamento
5.1. Acendido/apagado
- Para acender: manteña premido o botón de acendido (U) durante aproximadamente 3 segundos.
- To power off: Press and hold the power button (U) for approximately 2 seconds. The device also features an auto-off function to conserve battery.
5.2. Measurement Modes (Manual/Auto)
The meter offers two measurement modes:
- Modo automático: Preme o AUTO button. The meter will automatically scan and display the PV module's parameters (Pmax, Vmp, Amp, Voc, Isc) every few seconds. This mode is ideal for quick, continuous monitoring.
- Modo manual: Preme o MANUAL button. In this mode, each press of the button initiates a single measurement cycle. Wait for approximately 3 seconds after pressing to allow the measurement to complete and display.
5.3. Función de retención de datos
To freeze the current readings on the display, press the H button. Press it again to release the data hold and resume live readings.
5.4. Activación da retroiluminación
For improved visibility in low-light conditions, press and hold the backlight button (H*) to activate the display backlight. Press and hold again to turn it off.
