4. Konfigurazioa

4.1 Bateriaren instalazioa

The Voltcraft VC-11 requires a 9V battery for operation (not included). To install or replace the battery:

1. Ziurtatu multimetroa itzalita dagoela eta deskonektatu proba-kable guztiak.
2. Bilatu bateriaren konpartimentuaren estalkia neurgailuaren atzealdean.
3. Erabili bihurkin bat bateriaren estalkia lotzen duen torlojua kentzeko.
4. Kontu handiz kendu estalkia.
5. Konektatu 9V-ko bateria berri bat bateriaren kliparekin, polaritate zuzena errespetatuz.
6. Jarri bateria konpartimentuan eta jarri berriro estalkia, torlojuarekin finkatuz.

4.2 Proba-kableak konektatzea

Always connect the black test lead to the 'COM' (common) jack. Connect the red test lead to the appropriate input jack based on the desired measurement:

• Voltage (V), Resistance (Ω), Diode, and Continuity measurements, connect the red lead to the 'VΩmA' jack.
• For Current (A) measurements, connect the red lead to the 'VΩmA' jack (for mA range).

5. Funtzionamendu-argibideak

Before taking any measurement, ensure the test leads are correctly connected and the rotary switch is set to the desired function and range.

5.1 DC Vol. neurtzeatage (V=)

1. Ezarri biraketa-etengailua nahi den DC bolumenera.tage (V=) range (e.g., 200mV, 2V, 20V, 200V, 250V). If the voltage ezezaguna da, hasi tarterik handienetik eta txikitu behar den moduan.
2. Konektatu proba-kable beltza 'COM' konektorera eta proba-kable gorria 'VΩmA' konektorera.
3. Konektatu proba-zundak paraleloan neurtu beharreko osagai edo zirkuituan.
4. Irakurri liburukiatage balioa LCD pantailan.

5.2 AC Vol. neurtzeatage (V~)

1. Ezarri biraketa-etengailua nahi den korronte alternoko bolumenera.tage (V~) tartea (adibidez, 200V, 250V).
2. Konektatu proba-kable beltza 'COM' konektorera eta proba-kable gorria 'VΩmA' konektorera.
3. Connect the test probes in parallel across the AC source or component.
4. Irakurri liburukiatage balioa LCD pantailan.

5.3 Korronte zuzena neurtzea (A=)
