6. Nga Tohutohu Whakahaere
The Hioki 3030-10 is a manual-ranging multimeter. Always select the appropriate function and range using the rotary switch before making a measurement.
6.1 DC Voltage Inenga (V)
- Whakatakotoria te pana hurihuri ki te DC Voltage e hiahiatia anatage (V) range (e.g., 0.3V, 3V, 12V, 30V, 120V, 300V, 600V). Start with the highest range if the voltage kore e mohiotia.
- Honoa te taura whakamātautau whero ki te taha pai (+) o te ara iahiko, me te taura whakamātautau pango ki te taha kino (-).
- Pānuihia te voltage value from the appropriate DCV scale on the analog display.
6.2 AC Voltage Measurement (~V)
- Tautuhia te huri hurihuri ki te Vol AC e hiahiatia anatage (~V) range (e.g., 12V, 30V, 120V, 300V, 600V). Start with the highest range if the voltage kore e mohiotia.
- Honoa ngā taura whakamātautau puta noa i te hiko ACtage puna.
- Pānuihia te voltage value from the appropriate ACV scale on the analog display.
6.3 DC Current Measurement (A)
Tupato: Me hono tonu te mita maha-maha ki te ara iahiko i te wā e ine ana i te iahiko. Kaua rawa e hono whakarara puta noa i te voltage.tage puna.
- Set the rotary switch to the desired DC Current (A) range (e.g., 60µA, 30mA, 300mA). Start with the highest range if the current is unknown.
- Break the circuit and connect the multimeter in series, ensuring the current flows through the meter.
