Using The Multimeter - Conrad VC-222 Bedienungsanleitung

Using the multimeter

a) Inserting and changing the battery
So that the measuring instrument functions perfectly, it must be fit-
ted with two 1.5V AAA batteries. When the change-battery symbol
appears in the display, the batteries must be changed. Proceed as
follows:
- disconnect the measuring instrument from the test circuit,
- remove the test leads from the measuring instrument,
- switch it off and
- with a suitable crosspoint screwdriver, unscrew the fixing
screws from the rear of the case (on the underside, covered
with rubber caps)
- Now carefully lever off the case shell.
- remove the used batteries from the battery compartment and
- replace with fresh batteries of the same type.
- carefully close the measuring instrument once more. Do not
forget the rubber caps!
Never operate the measuring instrument in an ope-
ned condition. Danger to life!
Do not leave used batteries in the measuring instru-
ment, because even leak-proof batteries can corro-
de and thereby release chemicals, which are both
damaging to health and can destroy the battery
compartment.
Used batteries are to be treated as waste requiring
special handling and must therefore be disposed of
10
without harming the environment. Special collection
containers are provided for this purpose by specia-
list dealers and in scrap yards.
b) Changing fuses
Make sure that only fuses of the given types and
nominal current ratings are used as replacements.
The use of repaired fuses or the bridging of fuse
holders is not permitted.
To change the mA current range fuse, disconnect the measuring in-
strument from the circuit being measured and switch it off. Remove
all connected leads and test probes. Take a suitable crosspoint
screwdriver and carefully open the instrument case, as described
under "a) Inserting and changing the battery". Remove the defec-
tive fuse(s) and replace with identical type(s) and nominal current
ratings; 0.5 A quick-acting, 250 V; usual description: F 0.5A / 250V
or 500 AF / 250V.
After replacing the battery, carefully close the measuring instrument
once more. Only put the measuring instrument into operation once
again when the case is securely closed and screwed up.
c) Connecting the measuring leads
Always use only the supplied test leads for measurements. Before
connecting, always check the condition of the connecting plugs
and test probes and check the insulation for damage
The measuring leads, are approved for voltages up to 600 V max.
Your measuring instrument, the VC 222, is designed for voltages up
