1. Ntinye batrị

The FLIR VT8-600 requires 2 AA batteries for operation, which are included with the device. To install or replace batteries:

  1. Chọta ebe mkpuchi batrị n'azụ unit ahụ.
  2. Use a suitable tool (e.g., a small screwdriver) to open the battery compartment.
  3. Tinye batrị AA atọ ahụ, hụ na polarity ziri ezi (+/-) dịka egosiri n'ime ngalaba ahụ.
  4. Mechie mkpuchi batrị nke ọma.

2. Ijikọ ụzọ ule

For measurements requiring test leads (e.g., voltage, resistance, continuity, capacitance), connect the leads to the appropriate input jacks on the bottom of the device.

  • Insert the black test lead into the 'COM' (common) jack.
  • Insert the red test lead into the 'VΩ' jack for voltage, resistance, continuity, and capacitance measurements.

Ntuziaka ọrụ

The FLIR VT8-600 features a rotary dial for mode selection and dedicated buttons for additional functions.

1. Gbanyụọ / gbanyụọ na nhọrọ ọnọdụ

Turn the rotary dial to the desired measurement function to power on the device. Turn the dial to 'OFF' to power off the device.

2. Measurement Functions

  • AC/DC Voltage Measurement (V∼ / V—)
    Họrọ voltage mode on the rotary dial. Connect the test leads in parallel to the circuit or component to measure voltage. The device supports up to 600V.
  • AC/DC Current Measurement (A∼ / A—)
    Select the current mode on the rotary dial. Use the open jaw to clamp around a single conductor to measure current. The device supports up to 100A. Ensure the conductor is centered within the jaw for accurate readings.

  • Resistance Measurement (Ω)
    Select the resistance mode. Connect the test leads across the component when it is de-energized.
  • Continuity Test (⚡)
    Select the continuity mode. Place the test leads across the circuit or component. A continuous tone indicates continuity.
  • Capacitance Measurement (‡)
    Select the capacitance mode. Connect the test leads across the capacitor. Ensure the capacitor is discharged before testing.

3. Ọrụ Pụrụ Iche

  • Bọtịnụ MODE: Toggles between AC and DC measurements or other sub-functions within a mode.
  • REL/ZERO Button: Used for relative measurements or to zero out the display for current measurements.
