2.2 Verbinding van toetsdrade
The multimeter comes with two test leads, typically one red (positive) and one black (negative/common). Proper connection is crucial for accurate and safe measurements.
- Vir die meeste volumestage, resistance, and low current measurements, connect the black lead to the 'COM' (Common) jack.
- Connect the red lead to the 'V-Ω-mA' jack for voltage, weerstand en milliampere huidige metings.
- For high current measurements (up to 10A), connect the red lead to the '10A' jack. Always ensure the correct jack is used to prevent damage to the meter or circuit.

3.1 Meet DC Voltage (DCV)
- Set the rotary dial to the desired DCV range (e.g., 200m, 2, 20, 200, 1000). Choose a range higher than the expected voltage.
- Connect the red lead to the positive (+) side of the circuit and the black lead to the negative (-) side.
- Lees die voltage waarde op die skerm.
3.2 Meting van AC Voltage (ACV)
- Set the rotary dial to the desired ACV range (e.g., 200m, 2, 20, 200, 750). Choose a range higher than the expected voltage.
- Verbind die toetsdrade oor die WS-volumetage source. Polarity does not matter for AC voltage.
- Lees die voltage waarde op die skerm.
3.3 Measuring Resistance (Ω)
- Maak seker dat die stroombaan of komponent gedeaktiveer is voordat weerstand gemeet word.
- Set the rotary dial to the desired Ω range (e.g., 200, 2K, 20K, 200K, 2M, 20M, 200M).
- Verbind die toetsdrade oor die komponent wat gemeet moet word.
- Lees die weerstandswaarde op die skerm.
3.4 Measuring DC Current (DCA)
- Maak seker dat die stroombaan gedeaktiveer is.
- Set the rotary dial to the desired DCA range (e.g., 200µ, 2m, 20m, 200m, 10A).
- Belangrik: For currents up to 200mA, use the 'V-Ω-mA' jack for the red lead. For currents up to 10A, use the '10A' jack.
- Break the circuit and connect the multimeter in series with the load. The current must flow through the multimeter.
- Skakel die stroombaan weer aan en lees die stroomwaarde.
3.5 Measuring AC Current (ACA)
- Maak seker dat die stroombaan gedeaktiveer is.
- Set the rotary dial to the desired ACA range (e.g., 200µ, 2m, 20m, 200m, 10A).
- Belangrik: For currents up to 200mA, use the 'V-Ω-mA' jack for the red lead. For currents up to 10A, use the '10A' jack.
- Verbreek die stroombaan en koppel die multimeter in serie met die las.
- Skakel die stroombaan weer aan en lees die stroomwaarde.
3.6 Measuring Capacitance (CX)
- Maak seker dat die kondensator volledig ontlaai is voor toetsing.
- Set the rotary dial to the CX range (e.g., 2n, 20n, 200n, 2µ, 20µ).
- Verbind die toetsdrade oor die kondensatorterminale.
- Lees die kapasitansiewaarde op die skerm.
3.7 Diode and Transistor (hFE) Testing
Refer to the specific markings on the dial for diode and transistor testing functions. Typically, diode test mode allows checking the forward voltage drop of a diode, and hFE mode is used for measuring the DC current gain of transistors.
