4.1 Pamasangan batré

The PeakTech P 3131 requires two 1.5V AAA batteries (included). To install or replace batteries:

  1. Pastikeun alat dipareuman.
  2. Panggihan panutup kompartemen batré di tukang méteran.
  3. Paké obeng pikeun muka kompartemen.
  4. Insert the two AAA batteries, observing correct polarity (+ and -).
  5. Ganti panutup kompartemen batré jeung amankeun ku screw nu.

When the low battery indicator appears on the display, replace the batteries immediately to ensure accurate measurements.

5. Parentah Operasi

5.1 Daya Hurung/Pareuman

Rotate the function selector dial from the "OFF" position to any desired measurement function to power on the meter. To power off, rotate the dial back to "OFF". The meter features an automatic power-off function (can be deactivated) to conserve battery life.

5.2 Pangukuran Arus AC/DC (Clamp)

To measure current without breaking the circuit:

  1. Hurungkeun kenop pamilih fungsi ka A~ (Arus AC) atanapi A= posisi (Arus DC).
  2. Pencét éta AC/DC button if you need to switch between AC and DC current modes (if the dial position combines them).
  3. Pencét éta NOL button to zero the display before measuring DC current, especially for small currents, to compensate for residual magnetism.
  4. Buka clamp rahang ku mencét picuna.

5.5 Fungsi Husus

  • RMS leres: The meter measures True Root Mean Square values for AC voltage and current, providing accurate readings for non-sinusoidal waveforms.
  • Data Hold (H): Pencét éta H/MAX pencét sakeudeung pikeun ngabekukeun bacaan ayeuna dina tampilan. Pencét deui pikeun ngaleupaskeun.
  • Maximum Value Hold (MAX): Pencét jeung tahan tombol H/MAX button to capture and display the maximum measured value. Press again to exit.
  • ZERO Function: Used to zero the display for DC current measurements to eliminate offset errors.
  • Otomatis Ngalangkungan: The meter automatically selects the appropriate measurement range.
  • Otomatis Pareum: The meter automatically turns off after a period of inactivity to save battery. This feature can typically be disabled by holding a specific button during power-on (refer to the device's on-screen indicators or a more detailed manual if available).
