4. Istruzioni per l'uso
4.1 Modalità di misurazione
The VC-12884330 offers various measurement functions. Always select the appropriate function before connecting test leads to the circuit under test.
- Voltage (V~ / V-): Misura la tensione CA o CCtage. Connect the red test lead to the VΩHz jack and the black test lead to the COM jack.
- Current (A~ / A- / mA / µA): Measure AC or DC current. Connect the red test lead to the appropriate current jack (mA or A) and the black test lead to the COM jack. Ensure the correct jack is used for the expected current range.
- Resistenza (Ω): Measure resistance. Connect the red test lead to the VΩHz jack and the black test lead to the COM jack. Ensure the circuit is de-energized.
- Capacitance (††): Measure capacitance. Connect the red test lead to the VΩHz jack and the black test lead to the COM jack. Ensure capacitors are discharged before testing.
- Frequenza (Hz): Measure frequency. Connect the red test lead to the VΩHz jack and the black test lead to the COM jack.
- Prova del diodo: Diodi di prova per tensione direttatage drop. Connect the red test lead to the VΩHz jack and the black test lead to the COM jack.
- Test di continuità: Check for circuit continuity with an audible buzzer. Connect the red test lead to the VΩHz jack and the black test lead to the COM jack.
4.2 Registrazione dati
The multimeter can record measurement data over time. Refer to the specific instructions in the full manual for activating data logging, setting intervals, and retrieving stored data. This feature is typically accessed via a dedicated button or menu option.
4.3 Connettività Bluetooth
