7. Vedlikehold

7.1 Rengjøring

Tørk av måleren med annonseamp klut og mildt vaskemiddel. Ikke bruk slipemidler eller løsemidler. Hold terminalene fri for smuss og fuktighet.

7.2 Batteribytte

Når indikatoren for lavt batterinivå vises på displayet, må du bytte batteriene raskt for å sikre nøyaktige målinger. Se avsnitt 5.1 for instruksjoner for batteriinstallasjon.

7.3 Bytte av sikring

If the current measurement function stops working, the fuse may need replacement. Always use fuses of the specified type and rating. Refer to the specifications section for fuse details. Two spare fuses are included in the package.

8. Feilsøking

• Ingen skjerm/måleren slår seg ikke på: Sjekk batteriinstallasjonen og sørg for at batteriene ikke er utladet. Skift ut om nødvendig.
• 'OL' Reading: This typically indicates an open circuit, a value exceeding the meter's range, or incorrect lead connection for the selected function.
• Unøyaktige avlesninger: Ensure test leads are properly connected, batteries are not low, and the correct function is selected for the measurement. Clean probes and terminals if dirty.
• Strømmåling fungerer ikke: Sjekk og skift ut sikringen hvis den er gått.
• NCV registrerer ikke: Ensure the NCV function is selected and the meter is brought close enough to a live AC source.
