- Lumikizani ma lead oyesera kudutsa gawo kapena dera lomwe liyenera kuyezedwa.
- Werengani voltagndi mtengo pachiwonetsero cha LCD.
5.2. Kuyeza AC Voltagndi (ACV)
- Insert the red lead into the VΩmA jack and the black lead into the COM jack.
- Set the rotary switch to the desired ACV range (e.g., 200, 750). Start with the highest range if the voltage sizikudziwika.
- Lumikizani ma lead oyesera kudutsa gawo kapena dera lomwe liyenera kuyezedwa.
- Werengani voltagndi mtengo pachiwonetsero cha LCD.
5.3. Measuring DC Current (DCA)
- For currents up to 200mA: Insert the red lead into the VΩmA jack and the black lead into the COM jack.
- For currents up to 10A: Insert the red lead into the 10ADC jack and the black lead into the COM jack.
- Set the rotary switch to the desired DCA range (e.g., 200μ, 2000μ, 20m, 200m, 10A). Start with the highest range if the current is unknown.
- Zimitsani mphamvu kudera. Open the circuit where the current is to be measured.
- Lumikizani multimeter motsatizana ndi dera.
- Apply power to the circuit and read the current value on the LCD display.
5.4. Kukana Kuyeza (Ω)
