4. Setup

4.1 Installazione di batterie

The Voltcraft VC-11 requires a 9V battery for operation (not included). To install or replace the battery:

1. Assicuratevi chì u multimetru sia spento è scollegate tutti i cavi di prova.
2. Truvate u coperchiu di u compartimentu di a batteria nant'à u spinu di u misuratore.
3. Aduprate un cacciavite per caccià a vite chì fissa u coperchio di a batteria.
4. Eliminate cù cura a tappa.
5. Cunnette una nova batteria di 9V à u clip di a batteria, osservendu a polarità curretta.
6. Place the battery into the compartment and replace the cover, securing it with the screw.

4.2 Cunnessione di i cavi di prova

Always connect the black test lead to the 'COM' (common) jack. Connect the red test lead to the appropriate input jack based on the desired measurement:

• Per Voltage (V), Resistance (Ω), Diode, and Continuity measurements, connect the red lead to the 'VΩmA' jack.
• For Current (A) measurements, connect the red lead to the 'VΩmA' jack (for mA range).

5. Operating Instructions

Before taking any measurement, ensure the test leads are correctly connected and the rotary switch is set to the desired function and range.

5.1 Misurazione di u vulume di corrente continuatage (V=)

1. Impostate l'interruttore rotativu à u vulume DC desideratu.tage (V=) range (e.g., 200mV, 2V, 20V, 200V, 250V). If the voltage hè scunnisciutu, cuminciate cù a gamma più alta è diminuite secondu i bisogni.
2. Connect the black test lead to the 'COM' jack and the red test lead to the 'VΩmA' jack.
3. Cunnette i puntali di prova in parallelu à traversu u cumpunente o u circuitu da misurà.
4. Leghjite u voltage valore nantu à u display LCD.

5.2 Misurazione di u vulume di a corrente alternatatage (V~)

1. Impostate l'interruttore rotativu à u vulume AC desideratu.taggamma e (V~) (per esempiu, 200V, 250V).
2. Connect the black test lead to the 'COM' jack and the red test lead to the 'VΩmA' jack.
3. Connect the test probes in parallel across the AC source or component.
4. Leghjite u voltage valore nantu à u display LCD.

5.3 Measuring DC Current (A=)

1. Set the rotary switch to the desired DC Current (A=) range (e.g., 2000µA, 20mA, 200mA).
2. Connect the black test lead to the 'COM' jack and the red test lead to the 'VΩmA' jack.
3. ATTENZIONE: To measure current, the meter must be connected in series with the circuit. Break the circuit and insert the meter.
4. Connect the test probes in series with the circuit.
5. Leghjite u valore attuale nantu à u display LCD.

5.4 Misurazione di a Resistenza (Ω)

1. Assicuratevi chì u circuitu sia disenergizatu prima di misurà a resistenza.
2. Set the rotary switch to the desired Resistance (Ω) range (e.g., 200Ω, 2kΩ, 20kΩ, 200kΩ, 2000kΩ).
3. Connect the black test lead to the 'COM' jack and the red test lead to the 'VΩmA' jack.
4. Cunnette i puntali di prova à traversu u cumpunente da misurà.
5. Leghjite u valore di resistenza nant'à u display LCD.

5.5 Test di Diode

1. Assicuratevi chì u circuitu sia disenergizatu.
2. Set the rotary switch to the Diode symbol (usually next to resistance).
3. Connect the black test lead to the 'COM' jack and the red test lead to the 'VΩmA' jack.
4. Cunnette a sonda rossa à l'anodu è a sonda nera à u catodu di u diodu. U display mostrerà u vulume direttu.tage goccia.
5. Reverse the probes. The display should show 'OL' (Overload) for a good diode.

5.6 Test di Continuità

1. Assicuratevi chì u circuitu sia disenergizatu.
2. Set the rotary switch to the Continuity symbol (usually next to diode/resistance).
3. Connect the black test lead to the 'COM' jack and the red test lead to the 'VΩmA' jack.
4. Cunnette i sondi di prova à traversu u circuitu o u cumpunente.
5. If the resistance is below a certain threshold (typically 30-50Ω), the meter will emit an audible beep, indicating continuity.

6. Mantenimentu
