3. Produk verbyview

The Woods AMMW1 Analog Multimeter features a clear analog display and a rotary selector for various measurement functions.

Figure 1: Woods AMMW1 Analog Multimeter. This image displays the front of the multimeter, showing the analog display with various scales (OHMS, AC DC, AC10V BATT), the Woods logo, the model number AMMW1, the rotary function selector switch, and the input jacks for VΩmA and COM. An 'ADJUST Ω' knob is visible on the right side, and 'FUSE & DIODE PROTECTION' is indicated below the display.

3.1 Sleutelkomponente

1. Analoog vertoon: Shows measurement readings using a needle against various scales.
2. Rotary Function Selector: Used to select the desired measurement function and range (e.g., ACV, DCV, Resistance, Current, Battery Test).
3. VΩmA Input Jack: Positive (+) input for voltage, resistance, and current measurements.
4. COM-invoeraansluiting: Common/Negative (-) input for all measurements.
5. OHMS Adjustment Knob: Used to zero the meter for resistance measurements.
6. Battery Test Sockets: Dedicated sockets for testing 1.5V and 9V batteries.

4. Opstelling

4.1 Battery installasie

The Woods AMMW1 requires 1 AA battery (included) for operation. To install or replace the battery:

1. Ensure the multimeter is turned off (selector switch to OFF position, if available, or a non-measurement range).
2. Vind die batteryklepdeksel aan die agterkant van die eenheid.
3. Remove the screw(s) securing the cover and carefully open it.
4. Insert the AA battery, observing the correct polarity (+ and - markings).
5. Replace the cover and secure it with the screw(s).

4.2 Verbinding van toetsdrade

• Plaas die swart toetsdraad in die COM (Algemene) aansluiting.
• Plaas die rooi toetsdraad in die VΩmA jack for most measurements (voltage, resistance, current).

5. Bedryfsinstruksies

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

5.1 Meet DC Voltage (V-)

1. Set the rotary selector to the desired DC Voltage (V-) range (e.g., 2.5V, 10V, 50V, 250V, 500V). Choose a range higher than the expected voltage.
2. Verbind die rooi toetsdraad aan die positiewe (+) kant van die stroombaan en die swart toetsdraad aan die negatiewe (-) kant.
3. Lees die voltage value from the appropriate DCV scale on the analog display.

5.2 Meting van AC Voltage (V~)

1. Set the rotary selector to the desired AC Voltage (V~) range (e.g., 10V, 50V, 250V, 500V). Choose a range higher than the expected voltage.
2. Verbind die toetsdrade oor die WS-volumetage bron.
3. Lees die voltage value from the appropriate ACV scale on the analog display.

5.3 Measuring Resistance (Ω)

1. Set the rotary selector to the desired Resistance (Ω) range (e.g., 10x Ω, 1000x Ω).
2. Short the red and black test leads together.
3. Pas die OHMS ADJUST knob until the needle points exactly to '0' on the OHMS scale. This zeros the meter.
4. Connect the test leads across the component whose resistance you wish to measure. Ensure the component is de-energized.
5. Read the value from the OHMS scale and multiply it by the range multiplier (e.g., x10, x1000).

5.4 Measuring DC Current (mA, µA)

1. WAARSKUWING: Moet nooit die multimeter parallel met 'n voltmeter koppel nie.tage source when measuring current. Always connect it in series with the circuit.
2. Set the rotary selector to the desired DC Current (mA or µA) range (e.g., 500 µA, 10 mA, 250 mA).
3. Verbreek die stroombaan waar jy die stroom wil meet.
4. Connect the multimeter in series with the circuit, ensuring the red lead is towards the higher potential and the black lead towards the lower potential.
5. Read the current value from the appropriate scale.

5.5 Battery Testing (1.5V, 9V)

1. Set the rotary selector to the 1.5V BATT or 9V BATT posisie.
2. Insert the battery to be tested into the corresponding battery test sockets, observing polarity.
3. Read the battery condition from the dedicated "BAD / GOOD" scale on the analog display.

6. Onderhoud

6.1 Skoonmaak

Vee die omhulsel af met advertensieamp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasives or solvents. Keep the test leads clean and free of debris.

6.2 Sekeringvervanging

The multimeter is equipped with fuse and diode protection. If the current measurement function stops working, the fuse may need replacement.

1. Maak seker dat die multimeter afgeskakel is en die toetsdrade ontkoppel is.
2. Open the back cover of the multimeter (refer to battery installation).
3. Verwyder die ou sekering versigtig.
4. Replace with a fuse of the exact same type and rating (consult the device's internal markings or specifications for fuse type).
5. Maak die agterblad stewig toe.
