- Toerana fidirana: Ho an'ny fampifandraisana ireo tariby fitsapana ho an'ny voltage and other measurements.
- Bokotra HOLD: Mampiato ny famakiana aseho amin'izao fotoana izao.
- Bokotra MAX/MIN: Records maximum and minimum readings.
- Bokotra RANGE: Mifidy tanana ny elanelan'ny fandrefesana.
- Bokotra SHIFT: Accesses secondary functions marked in blue on the dial.
5. Fametrahana
5.1. Fametrahana bateria
- Ataovy azo antoka fa maty ny fitaovana.
- Tadiavo ny fonon'ny fitoeran'ny bateria eo amin'ny faran'ny fitaovana.
- Ampiasao ny tournevis (raha ilaina) hanokafana ny fonony.
- Insert two (2) AAA batteries, observing the correct polarity (+/-) as indicated inside the compartment.
- Soloy ny fonon'ny efitry ny bateria ary arovy izany.
5.2. Herin'ny voalohany
After battery installation, turn the function dial from "OFF" to any measurement setting to power on the device. The display should illuminate, indicating readiness for use.
6. Torolàlana miasa
6.1. Power On/off
- To power on, rotate the function dial from the "OFF" position to the desired measurement function.
- Mba hamonoana ny herinaratra dia avereno amin'ny toerana "OFF" ny bokotra fiasana.
6.2. AC Current Measurement (Clamp)
- Rotate the function dial to the "A" (Current) setting.
- Sokafy ny clamp jaw by pressing the lever.
- Enclose only one conductor (live or neutral) within the clamp valanorano. Ataovy azo antoka fa mihidy tanteraka ny valanorano.
- Vakio ny sanda amin'izao fotoana izao amin'ny fampisehoana LCD.
6.3. Bokytage Fandrefesana (V)
- Rotate the function dial to the "V" (Voltage) fametrahana.
- Connect the red test lead to the "V" input terminal and the black test lead to the "COM" input terminal.
- Connect the test leads in parallel across the circuit or component to be measured.
- Vakio ny voltage sanda eo amin'ny efijery LCD.
6.4. Power Measurement (W, Wh, var, VA)
The CM3286 can measure various power parameters. Select the appropriate setting on the function dial (W for active power, Wh for energy, var for reactive power, VA for apparent power). Connect test leads for voltage sy clamp the jaw around the current conductor as per the specific measurement method outlined in the full manual (not provided here, but implied by the device's capabilities).
6.5. Frequency Measurement (Hz)
Select the "Hz" setting on the function dial. Connect test leads across the circuit where frequency is to be measured, similar to voltage fandrefesana.
6.6. Phase Sequence Detection
The device features a "Phase Detect" function. Refer to the detailed instructions in the complete manual for proper connection and interpretation of phase sequence on single-phase or three-phase circuits.
6.7. Using Buttons (HOLD, MAX/MIN, RANGE, SHIFT)
