5. Setup

5.1. Installazione di batterie

1. Assicuratevi chì u dispusitivu hè spenta.
2. Locate the battery compartment cover on the rear of the unit.
3. Aduprate un cacciavite (s'ellu hè necessariu) per apre u coperchio.
4. Insert two (2) AAA batteries, observing the correct polarity (+/-) as indicated inside the compartment.
5. Sustituite u coperchiu di u compartmentu di a bateria è assicuratelu.

5.2. Accensione iniziale

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. Operating Instructions

6.1. Power On / Off

• To power on, rotate the function dial from the "OFF" position to the desired measurement function.
• To power off, rotate the function dial back to the "OFF" position.

6.2. Misurazione di a corrente alternata (Clamp)

1. Rotate the function dial to the "A" (Current) setting.
2. Aprite u clamp mandibula premendu a leva.
3. Enclose only one conductor (live or neutral) within the clamp mandibula. Assicuratevi chì a mandibula sia cumpletamente chjusa.
4. Leghjite u valore attuale nantu à u display LCD.

6.3. voltage Misura (V)

1. Rotate the function dial to the "V" (Voltage) réglage.
2. Connect the red test lead to the "V" input terminal and the black test lead to the "COM" input terminal.
3. Cunnette i cavi di prova in parallelu à traversu u circuitu o u cumpunente da misurà.
4. Leghjite u voltage valore nantu à u display 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 è 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 misurazione.

6.6. Rilevazione di a sequenza di fase

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)

• HOLD: Appughjà per bluccà a lettura attuale nant'à u screnu. Appughjà torna per liberà.
• MAX / MIN: Press to enter Max/Min recording mode. The display will show the maximum or minimum value recorded since activation. Press again to cycle through Max, Min, and current readings.
