5. Oppsett
5.1 Battery Installation (Multimeter)
The multimeter is battery-driven. To install or replace batteries:
- Sørg for at multimeteret er slått AV.
- Finn batteridekselet på baksiden av enheten.
- Skru ut festeskruen(e) og fjern dekselet.
- Insert new batteries, observing correct polarity (+/-). Refer to the markings inside the compartment.
- Replace the cover and secure it with the screw(s).
5.2 Tilkobling av testledninger
For de fleste målinger, koble testledningene som følger:
- Sett den svarte testledningen inn i "COM"-kontakten (felles).
- Sett den røde testledningen inn i "VΩmA"-kontakten for volumtage, resistance, and current measurements up to 200mA.
- For high current measurements (up to 10A), insert the red test lead into the "10A" jack.

6. Bruksanvisning
6.1 Strøm på/av
Rotate the rotary switch to any measurement function to turn the multimeter ON. To turn it OFF, rotate the switch to the "OFF" position.
6.2 Måling av DC Voltage (VDC)
- Connect the test leads as described in Section 5.2 (red to VΩmA, black to COM).
- Rotate the rotary switch to the desired "VDC" range (e.g., 20V, 200V, 600V). If unsure, start with the highest range and decrease as needed.
- Koble testprobene parallelt med kretsen eller komponenten du ønsker å måle.
- Les voltage -verdien på displayet.
6.3 Måling av AC Voltage (VAC)
- Connect the test leads as described in Section 5.2 (red to VΩmA, black to COM).
- Rotate the rotary switch to the desired "VAC" range (e.g., 200V, 600V).
- Connect the test probes in parallel to the AC source.
- Les voltage -verdien på displayet.
6.4 Måling av motstand (Ω)
- Sørg for at kretsen er spenningsløs før du måler motstanden.
- Connect the test leads as described in Section 5.2 (red to VΩmA, black to COM).
- Rotate the rotary switch to the desired "Ω" range (e.g., 200Ω, 2kΩ, 20kΩ, 200kΩ, 2MΩ).
- Koble testprobene til komponenten hvis motstand du vil måle.
- Les motstandsverdien på skjermen.
6.5 Battery Testing (1.5V / 9V)
- Connect the test leads as described in Section 5.2 (red to VΩmA, black to COM).
- Rotate the rotary switch to the "1.5V BATT." or "9V BATT." position.
- Connect the red probe to the positive (+) terminal of the battery and the black probe to the negative (-) terminal.
- Les batterivoltage på displayet.
6.6 Using the Non-Contact AC Voltage Tester (MS-430)
The MS-430 is designed to detect AC voltage without direct contact, providing a quick safety check.
- Press the power button on the MS-430 to turn it on.
- Bring the tip of the tester close to the wire or outlet you suspect has AC voltage.
- Hvis AC voltage is detected, the tester will emit an audible beep and/or a visual indicator (LED) will light up.
- Trykk på strømknappen igjen for å slå den av.

6.7 HOLD-funksjon
Press the "HOLD" button to freeze the current reading on the display. Press it again to release the hold function and resume live readings.
6.8 Bakgrunnsbelysning
Press the backlight button (often indicated by a light bulb symbol) to illuminate the display for better visibility in low-light conditions. Press it again to turn off the backlight.
7. Vedlikehold
7.1 Rengjøring
Wipe the device with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the device is turned off and disconnected from any circuits before cleaning.
7.2 Batteribytte
Når indikatoren for lavt batterinivå vises på displayet, må du bytte batteriene umiddelbart for å sikre nøyaktige målinger. Se avsnitt 5.1 for instruksjoner for batteriinstallasjon.
7.3 Oppbevaring
If the device will not be used for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent leakage and damage. Store the multimeter in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
