5. Návod k obsluze

5.1 Měření DC/AC napětítage

1. Power on the multimeter and select the DC voltage (V---) or AC voltage (V~) gear using the rotary switch.
2. Insert the red test lead into the VΩHz°C socket and the black test lead into the COM socket.
3. Use the stylus probes to contact the test points on the circuit.
4. The display screen will show the measured voltage hodnota.

5.2. Measuring DC Current

1. After powering on, select the appropriate current measurement gear (A or mA).
2. Insert the red test lead into the A or mA socket (depending on the expected current range) and the black test lead into the COM socket.
3. Connect the test probes in series with the circuit under test.
4. The measured current value will be displayed on the screen.

Poznámka: When measuring current in the mA range, the signal must be input from the mA-COM jack. For currents in the A range, the signal must be input from the A-COM jack. Failure to do so may result in inaccurate readings or instrument damage. Always connect in series.

5.3. Měření odporu

1. Select the resistance measurement (Ω) gear after powering on.
2. Insert the red test lead into the VΩHz°C socket and the black test lead into the COM socket.
3. Use the stylus probes to contact the desired circuit test points.
4. The measured resistance value will be displayed on the screen.

5.4. Diode and Continuity (On-Off) Judgment

1. Select the diode/continuity ( ) gear after booting.
2. Insert the red test lead into the VΩHz°C socket and the black test lead into the COM socket.
3. For diode testing, connect the red test lead to the positive pole of the diode and the black test lead to the negative pole. The screen will display the voltage hodnota diody.
4. For continuity testing, touch the probes to both ends of the component or wire. If the measured resistance is less than 50 ohms, the buzzer will sound, indicating continuity. No sound indicates an open circuit or damage.

5.5. Engine Closure Angle (DWELL) Measurement

The closing angle refers to the duration the touchpoint remains closed during the ignition cycle, which is crucial for optimal ignition energy accumulation. An incorrect closing angle can lead to ignition coil damage or reduced engine performance.

1. Insert the black test lead into the COM socket and the red test lead into the VΩHz°C socket.
2. According to the number of engine cylinders, set the function switch to the corresponding "DWELL" range.
3. Connect the black test lead to the iron (ground) or the negative electrode of the battery.
4. Connect the red test lead to the voltage terminal of the distributor or the negative (-) end of the ignition coil.
5. Start the engine and read the closing angle from the multimeter display.

Pozor:

• For best results, consult the engine manufacturer's technical specifications. Typical normal closing angles are: 3-cylinder engine: 60-80 degrees; 4-cylinder engine: 45-60 degrees; 5-cylinder engine: 36-48 degrees; 6-cylinder engine: 30-40 degrees; 8-cylinder engine: 22.5-30 degrees.
• If the measured angle is too large, the touchpoint gap is too large. If the angle is too small, the touchpoint gap is too narrow.

5.6. Engine Speed (RPM) Measurement

1. Insert the black test lead into the COM socket and the red test lead into the VΩHz°C socket.
2. According to the number of engine cylinders, set the function switch to the corresponding "RPM" range.
3. Connect the black test lead to the iron (ground) or the negative electrode of the battery.
4. Connect the red test lead to the low-voltage terminal of the distributor or the negative (-) end of the ignition coil.
5. Start the engine. The data displayed on the meter should be multiplied by 10 to obtain the actual engine speed in RPM.
