• Okweningi levolumutage, resistance, and continuity measurements, insert the red test lead into the "VΩmA" jack.
• For high current (up to 10A DC) measurements, insert the red test lead into the "10A DC" jack. Ensure the function dial is set to the appropriate current range.

Umfanekiso 2: Multimeter with black lead in COM and red lead in VΩmA jack.

5. Iziqondiso Zokusebenza

The Sealey MM20HV offers 8 functions for various electrical measurements.

5.1. Vula/Vala

Rotate the central function dial from the "OFF" position to any desired measurement function to turn the multimeter on. To turn off, rotate the dial back to "OFF".

5.2. Measuring DC Voltage (V=)

1. Insert the black lead into the "COM" jack and the red lead into the "VΩmA" jack.
2. Set the function dial to the desired DC Voltagububanzi be-e (isb., 200mV, 2V, 20V, 200V, 600V). Uma ivolumutage is unknown, start with the highest range and decrease as necessary.
3. Xhuma ama-test probes kulo lonke i-component noma i-circuit ezolinganiswa.
4. Funda ivolumutage value kusibonisi se-LCD.

5.3. Ukulinganisa i-AC Voltage (V~)

1. Insert the black lead into the "COM" jack and the red lead into the "VΩmA" jack.
2. Set the function dial to the desired AC Voltagububanzi be-e (isb., 200V, 600V).
3. Connect the test probes across the AC voltage umthombo.
4. Funda ivolumutage value kusibonisi se-LCD.

5.4. Measuring DC Current (A=)

Isexwayiso: Ungalokothi uxhume i-multimeter ngesikhathi esifanayo ne-voltagumthombo lapho ulinganisa ugesi. Xhuma njalo ngochungechunge nomthwalo.

1. Insert the black lead into the "COM" jack.
2. For currents up to 200mA, insert the red lead into the "VΩmA" jack. For currents up to 10A, insert the red lead into the "10A DC" jack.
3. Set the function dial to the appropriate DC Current range (e.g., 2mA, 20mA, 200mA, 10A).
4. Open the circuit where current is to be measured and connect the multimeter in series.
5. Funda inani lamanje kusibonisi se-LCD.

5.5. Measuring Resistance (Ω)

Isexwayiso: Qinisekisa ukuthi isekethe ayinamandla futhi wonke ama-capacitor ayakhishwa ngaphambi kokulinganisa ukumelana.

1. Insert the black lead into the "COM" jack and the red lead into the "VΩmA" jack.
2. Set the function dial to the desired Resistance range (e.g., 200Ω, 2kΩ, 20kΩ, 200kΩ, 2MΩ).
3. Connect the test probes across the component whose resistance is to be measured.
4. Funda inani lokumelana esibukweni se-LCD.

5.6. Ukuhlolwa Okuqhubekayo Okuzwakalayo

5.7. Diode/Transistor Verification

This function allows for testing diodes and transistors.

1. Insert the black lead into the "COM" jack and the red lead into the "VΩmA" jack.
2. Set the function dial to the diode symbol.
3. For diode testing, connect the red probe to the anode and the black probe to the cathode. The display will show the forward voltage drop. Buyisela emuva ama-probe; isibonisi kufanele sibonise "OL" (Open Loop) ukuze kube ne-diode enhle.
4. For transistor (hFE) testing, insert the transistor leads into the appropriate NPN or PNP sockets on the multimeter. The display will show the hFE value.

5.8. Measuring Temperature (°C)

The multimeter includes a thermocouple for temperature measurements.

1. Remove the test leads from the input jacks.
2. Insert the thermocouple plug into the "VΩmA" and "COM" jacks, observing polarity if indicated.
3. Set the function dial to the "°C" range.
4. Place the tip of the thermocouple on or near the object whose temperature is to be measured.
5. Read the temperature value in Celsius on the LCD display.

5.9. Data Hold Function

Press the "HOLD" button (typically a green button on the front panel) to freeze the current reading on the display. Press it again to release the hold and resume live readings.

6. Isondlo

6.1. Ukuhlanza

Sula ikesi ngesikhangisoamp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasives or solvents. Ensure the device is off and disconnected from any circuits before cleaning.

6.2. Ukushintshwa Kwebhethri

When the battery indicator appears on the display, replace the batteries as described in Section 4.1. Always use fresh AAA batteries.

6.3. Ukushintshwa kwe-Fuse

If the current measurement function stops working, the fuse may need replacement.

1. Qinisekisa ukuthi i-multimeter icishiwe futhi wonke ama-test lead anqanyuliwe.
2. Remove the battery compartment cover and batteries.
3. Locate the fuse(s) inside the compartment. The MM20HV typically uses a 200mA/250V fast-blow fuse for the mA range and a 10A/250V fast-blow fuse for the 10A range.
4. Carefully remove the old fuse and replace it with a new fuse of the exact same type and rating.
5. Replace the batteries and battery compartment cover.

Okubalulekile: Never use a fuse with a different rating or bypass a fuse. This can damage the multimeter and pose a serious safety hazard.
