4.2. Ma Lead Oyesera Olumikizana

Proper connection of test leads is essential for accurate and safe measurements.

• Insert the black test lead into the "COM" (Common) jack.
• For most voltage, 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.

5. Malangizo Ogwiritsira Ntchito

The Sealey MM20HV offers 8 functions for various electrical measurements.

5.1. Kuyatsa/Kuzimitsa

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. Kuyeza 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 Voltage range (e.g., 200mV, 2V, 20V, 200V, 600V). If the voltage is unknown, start with the highest range and decrease as necessary.
3. Lumikizani ma probe oyesera kudutsa gawo kapena dera lomwe liyenera kuyezedwa.
4. Werengani voltagndi mtengo pachiwonetsero cha LCD.

5.3. Kuyeza AC Voltagndi (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 Voltage range (monga, 200V, 600V).
3. Lumikizani ma probe oyesera kudutsa AC voltagndi gwero.
4. Werengani voltagndi mtengo pachiwonetsero cha LCD.

5.4. Measuring DC Current (A=)

Chenjezo: Never connect the multimeter in parallel with a voltage source when measuring current. Always connect in series with the load.

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. Werengani mtengo wapano pa chiwonetsero cha LCD.

5.5. Kukana Kuyeza (Ω)

Chenjezo: Onetsetsani kuti dera latsekedwa ndipo ma capacitor onse atulutsidwa musanayese kukana.

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. Werengani mtengo wotsutsa pachiwonetsero cha LCD.

5.6. Mayeso Opitilira Omveka

This function allows for quick checks of circuit continuity with an audible tone.

1. Insert the black lead into the "COM" jack and the red lead into the "VΩmA" jack.
2. Set the function dial to the continuity symbol (often shared with diode test).
3. Lumikizani ma probe oyesera kudutsa dera kapena gawo lina.
4. An audible tone indicates continuity (low resistance). The display will show the resistance value.

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. Reverse the probes; the display should show "OL" (Open Loop) for a good diode.
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. Kusamalira

6.1. Kuyeretsa

Pukutani mlanduwu ndi malondaamp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasives or solvents. Ensure the device is off and disconnected from any circuits before cleaning.

6.2. Kusintha Battery

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

6.3. Kusintha kwa Fuse

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

1. Ensure the multimeter is turned off and all test leads are disconnected.
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.

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