• HOU knoppie: Vries die huidige skermlesing.
• MAX-knoppie: Displays the maximum reading recorded during a measurement session.
• Invoeraansluitings:
  • COM (Algemene) Jack: For the black test lead.
  • VΩHz%mA Jack: For the red test lead when measuring voltage, resistance, frequency, capacitance, or current (up to 200mA).

5. Opstelling

5.1 Battery installasie

The DMMW3 uses one CR2032 coin cell battery. If the low battery indicator appears on the display, or if the unit does not power on, replace the battery:

1. Maak seker dat die multimeter afgeskakel is en ontkoppel alle toetsdrade.
2. Vind die batterykompartement aan die agterkant van die eenheid.
3. Use a small screwdriver to open the battery compartment cover.
4. Remove the old CR2032 battery, noting its polarity.
5. Plaas 'n nuwe CR2032-battery met die positiewe (+) kant na bo.
6. Plaas die deksel van die batterykompartement terug en maak dit met die skroef vas.

5.2 Verbinding van toetsdrade

Always connect the test leads correctly for accurate and safe measurements:

• Plaas die swart toetsdraad in die COM (Algemene) invoeraansluiting.
• Plaas die rooi toetsdraad in die VΩHz%mA input jack for most measurements (voltage, resistance, continuity, diode, capacitance, frequency, current up to 200mA).

6. Bedryfsinstruksies

6.1 Krag aan/af

To power on the multimeter, rotate the Function Selector Dial from the OFF position to any desired measurement function. To power off, rotate the dial back to the OFF position (indicated by the power symbol ⏻).

6.2 Funksiekeuse

Rotate the Function Selector Dial to choose the primary measurement category:

• mA: For measuring DC or AC current (up to 200mA).
• Ω / Continuity / Diode / Capacitance: For measuring resistance, checking continuity, testing diodes, or measuring capacitance. Use the MODUS button to cycle through these functions.
• V: For measuring DC or AC voltage. Gebruik die MODUS button to switch between DC and AC voltage.
• Hz%: For measuring frequency or duty cycle. Use the MODUS button to switch between frequency (Hz) and duty cycle (%).

6.3 Using Control Buttons

• WYSE: Press to select secondary functions within a dial position (e.g., AC/DC, Resistance/Continuity/Diode/Capacitance, Hz/%).
• RANGE: Press to switch between auto-ranging and manual ranging. In manual ranging, press repeatedly to cycle through available ranges.
• HOU: Druk om die huidige lesing op die skerm te vries. Druk weer om los te laat.
• MAKS: Press to capture and display the maximum value measured during a session. Press again to exit MAX mode.

6.4 Performing Measurements (Examphulle)

Always ensure the circuit is de-energized before connecting test leads for resistance, continuity, diode, or capacitance measurements.

6.4.1 DC/AC Voltage Meting

1. Set the Function Selector Dial to V.
2. Druk die MODUS button to select DC or AC voltage (DC or AC indicator on display).
3. Connect the red test lead to the positive (+) side of the circuit and the black test lead to the negative (-) side or ground.
4. Lees die voltage waarde op die skerm.

6.4.2 Weerstandmeting

1. Maak seker dat die stroombaan gedeaktiveer is.
2. Set the Function Selector Dial to Ω. Druk MODUS until the Ω symbol is displayed.
3. Verbind die toetsdrade oor die komponent wat gemeet moet word.
4. Lees die weerstandswaarde op die skerm.

6.4.3 Kontinuïteitstoets

1. Maak seker dat die stroombaan gedeaktiveer is.
2. Set the Function Selector Dial to Ω. Druk MODUS until the continuity symbol (⧸) word vertoon.
3. Verbind die toetsdrade oor die stroombaan of komponent.
4. A continuous beep indicates continuity (low resistance). The display will show the resistance value.

7. Onderhoud

7.1 Skoonmaak

Vee die omhulsel af met advertensieamp lap en sagte skoonmaakmiddel. Moenie skuurmiddels of oplosmiddels gebruik nie. Hou die invoerterminale vry van vuiligheid en vog.

7.2 Batteryvervanging

Refer to Section 5.1 for detailed battery replacement instructions. Always use a fresh CR2032 battery.

7.3 Sekeringvervanging

The DMMW3 has a 200mA MAX FUSED input for current measurements. If the current measurement function stops working, the fuse may need replacement. This procedure should only be performed by qualified personnel.

1. Maak seker dat die multimeter afgeskakel is en ontkoppel alle toetsdrade.
2. Open the back casing of the multimeter (this may require removing multiple screws).
3. Locate the fuse.
4. Replace the blown fuse with a fuse of the exact same type and rating (e.g., 200mA, fast-acting).
5. Carefully reassemble the multimeter, ensuring all screws are tightened.

WARNING: Using an incorrect fuse type or rating can damage the meter and pose a serious safety hazard.

7.4 Berging

If the meter is not to be used for an extended period, remove the battery to prevent leakage. Store the meter in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
