4. Fametrahana
4.1 Fametrahana bateria
The Fluke 362 is battery-powered. Although batteries are not included with all packages, they are required for operation. To install or replace batteries:
- Ensure the meter is turned OFF and no test leads are connected.
- Tadiavo ao ambadiky ny metatra ny fonon'ny fitoeran'ny bateria.
- Ampiasao ny tournevis mba hamahana ny visy mihazona ny fonony.
- Remove the cover and insert the required batteries, observing correct polarity (+/-).
- Replace the battery cover and tighten the screw(s).
4.2 Test Lead Connection
Ho an'ny voltage, resistance, and continuity measurements, connect the test leads to the input terminals:
- Insert the black test lead into the “COM” (common) terminal.
- Insert the red test lead into the “VΩ” (voltage/resistance) terminal.
5. Torolàlana miasa
5.1 Mamelona/Mamono
Rotate the function dial from the “OFF” position to any desired measurement function to power on the meter. To power off, rotate the dial back to the “OFF” position.
5.2 Fifidianana asa
Use the rotary function dial to select the desired measurement mode (e.g., A∼ for AC current, A— for DC current, V∼ for AC voltage, V— for DC voltage, Ω for resistance, or continuity).
5.3 Fandrefesana ny herin'aratra AC/DC (Clamp)
To measure current using the clamp valanorano:
- Rotate the function dial to A∼ (AC current) or A— (DC current).
- For DC current measurements, press the “ZERO” button to clear any offset before clamping.
- Sokafy ny clamp valanorano amin'ny fanindriana ny trigger.
- Enclose only one conductor within the jaw. Ensure the jaw is fully closed.
- Vakio ny sanda ankehitriny eo amin'ny efijery.
5.4 AC/DC Voltage Fandrefesana
Mandrefy voltage:
- Ampifandraiso ireo tariby fitsapana araka ny voalaza ao amin'ny Fizarana 4.2.
- Rotate the function dial to V∼ (AC voltage) or V— (DC voltagary).
- Ampifandraiso mifanitsy amin'ny faritra na singa tianao horefesina ireo fitaovana fitsapana.
- Vakio ny voltage sanda eo amin'ny efijery.
5.5 Fandrefesana fanoherana
Mba handrefesana ny fanoherana:
- Hamarino tsara fa tsy misy herinaratra intsony ny faritra na ny singa alohan'ny handrefesana ny fanoherana.
- Ampifandraiso ireo tariby fitsapana araka ny voalaza ao amin'ny Fizarana 4.2.
- Rotate the function dial to Ω (resistance).
- Ampifandraiso manerana ny singa ireo fitaovana fitsapana.
- Vakio ny sandan'ny fanoherana eo amin'ny fampisehoana.
5.6 Fitsapana mitohy
To perform a continuity test:
- Ataovy azo antoka fa tsy misy herinaratra ao amin'ny faritra na ny singa.
- Ampifandraiso ireo tariby fitsapana araka ny voalaza ao amin'ny Fizarana 4.2.
- Rotate the function dial to the continuity position (often shared with resistance, indicated by a speaker icon).
- Connect the test probes across the component or wire.
- The meter will emit an audible tone if continuity is detected (resistance below a certain threshold).
5.7 Zero Function (DC Measurements)
The “ZERO” button is primarily used for DC current measurements. Before taking a DC current reading, with the clamp jaw open and no conductor inside, press the “ZERO” button to eliminate any residual offset and ensure accurate readings.
5.8 Fihazonana angon-drakitra
Press the “HOLD” button to freeze the current reading on the display. This is useful for taking readings in hard-to-see locations. Press “HOLD” again to release the reading and return to live measurement.
6. Fikojakojana
6.1 Fanadiovana
To clean the meter, wipe it with a damp lamba sy savony malefaka. Aza mampiasa akora manimba na ranoka solvent. Ataovy azo antoka fa maina tanteraka ny metatra alohan'ny hampiasana azy.
6.2 Fanoloana bateria
When the low battery indicator appears on the display, replace the batteries promptly to maintain measurement accuracy. Refer to Section 4.1 for battery installation instructions.
6.3 Fitehirizana
If the meter is not used for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent leakage and damage. Store the meter in a dry, cool environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
7. Famahana olana
If you encounter issues with your Fluke 362, refer to the table below for common problems and solutions:
| OLANA | Antony mety hitranga | vahaolana |
|---|---|---|
| Meter does not power on or display is blank. | Batterie maty na diso napetraka. | Jereo ny polarity bateria na soloy ny bateria. |
| Vakiteny tsy marina. | Low battery, incorrect function selected, external interference, or un-zeroed DC current. | Replace batteries, select correct function, move away from strong electromagnetic fields, or use the ZERO function for DC current. |
| Continuity tone is too low or inaudible. | Noisy work environment. | Relocate to a quieter area or rely on the visual display for continuity indication. |
| “OL” (Overload) displayed. | Measurement exceeds the meter’s range. | Ensure the measurement is within the specified range for the selected function. |
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, contact Fluke customer support.
