Izici Zomkhiqizo

  • Inzwa ye-RMS yangempela: Provides accurate readings for both linear and non-linear loads, regardless of waveform.
  • High Current Measurement: Measures AC and DC current up to 2,000A (1,400A AC RMS).
  • Ukuvuleka Kwemihlathi Enkulu: 58mm (2.3 inches) jaw opening accommodates large or multiple conductors for non-contact current measurement.
  • Voltage Isilinganiso: Ilinganisa umthamo we-ACtage kufika ku-600V kanye ne-DC voltage kuze kufike ku-1,000V.
  • Frequency and Resistance: Measures frequency up to 1kHz and resistance up to 400kΩ.
  • Inrush Current Function: Analyzes surge current during motor startup and other inductive loads for stable measurements.
  • Isihlungi se-Low-Pass: Reduces high-frequency interference for accurate measurements of complex waveforms.
  • Min/Max Function: Toggles to display lowest, highest, and average readings.
  • Ukubamba Idatha: Freezes the reading on the display for easy documentation in tight spaces.
  • I-Continuity Buzzer: Confirms electrical continuity.
  • I-LCD ekhanyayo: Improves visibility in low-light conditions, with automatic backlight shut-off.
  • Ukucisha Okuzenzakalelayo: Ilondoloza impilo yebhethri ngokuvala ngokuzenzakalelayo ngemva kwemizuzu emi-20 yokungasetshenziswa.
  • Inkomba Yebhethri Eliphansi: Signals when batteries need replacement.

Setha

Ukufakwa Kwebhethri

The Fluke 355 requires six 1.5V AA batteries for operation. These are typically included with your purchase.

  1. Thola ikhava yengxenye yebhethri ngemuva kwedivayisi.
  2. Sebenzisa i-screwdriver ukuze uvule ikhava.
  3. Insert the six AA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
  4. Shintshanisa ikhava yengxenye yebhethri futhi uyivikele.

Ukuhlolwa Kokuqala

Before first use, inspect the clamp-meter, test leads, and accessories for any signs of damage. Do not use the device if any damage is observed.

Imiyalelo yokusebenza

Ivula/Vala amandla

Turn the rotary switch to any measurement function to power on the device. Turn the rotary switch to "OFF" to power off. The device will automatically power off after 20 minutes of inactivity to conserve battery life.

Measuring AC/DC Current (Clamp Umsebenzi)

  1. Turn the rotary switch to the "A AC+DC" position.
  2. Press the jaw release lever to open the clamp imihlathi.
  3. Misa i-clamp jaws around a single conductor. Ensure the jaws are fully closed.
  4. Funda inani lamanje ku-LCD.

Ukulinganisa Umqtage (AC/DC)

  1. Connect the test leads to the appropriate input jacks (COM and V).
  2. Turn the rotary switch to the "V AC+DC" position.
  3. Connect the test probes across the circuit or component to be measured.
  4. Funda ivolumutage inani ku-LCD.

Measuring Resistance (Ω)

  1. Connect the test leads to the appropriate input jacks (COM and Ω).
  2. Jikisa iswishi ejikelezayo iye endaweni ethi "Ω".
  3. Qinisekisa ukuthi isekethe ayinamandla ngaphambi kokulinganisa ukumelana.
  4. Xhuma ama-probe okuhlola kuyo yonke ingxenye ezolinganiswa.
  5. Funda inani lokumelana ku-LCD.

Eminye Imisebenzi

  • IBANGA: Manually select the measurement range if auto-ranging is not desired.
  • BAMBA: Cindezela ukuze umise ukufundwa kwamanje esibukweni. Cindezela futhi ukuze ukhulule.
  • ZERO: Used to zero out DC current readings or resistance readings for lead compensation.
  • Hz: Measures frequency.
  • INRUSH: Measures the peak current during motor startup.
  • MIN MAX: Toggles through minimum, maximum, and average readings captured during a measurement session.
  • ISIHLUNGI: Activates a low-pass filter to reduce electrical noise for stable readings.

Isondlo

Ukuhlanza

Hlanza imitha casing nesikhangisoamp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasives or solvents. Keep the display clean and dry.

Ukushintshwa Kwebhethri

When the low-battery indicator appears on the display, replace all six AA batteries promptly to ensure accurate measurements. Follow the battery installation steps outlined in the Setup section.

Isitoreji

Gcina i-clamp-meter in its soft carrying case in a dry, dust-free environment when not in use. Remove batteries if storing for extended periods to prevent leakage.

Ukuxazulula inkinga

If the Fluke 355 Clamp-Meter is not functioning as expected, consider the following:

  • Akukho Ukuboniswa/Amandla: Check if the batteries are correctly installed and have sufficient charge. Replace batteries if necessary. Ensure the rotary switch is not in the "OFF" position.
  • Ukufundwa Okungalungile: Verify that the correct measurement function is selected. Ensure test leads are properly connected and not damaged. For current measurements, ensure the clamp jaws are fully closed around a single conductor.
  • Continuity Buzzer Not Working: Ensure the device is in the continuity measurement mode and the circuit is de-energized.

For persistent issues, refer to the official Fluke support resources or contact customer service.
