5. Petunjuk Pengoperasian

Before making any measurements, ensure the test leads are securely plugged into the correct input jacks.

Figure 5.1: The DT321B Multimeter with test probes connected. The black probe is connected to the 'COM' (common) jack, and the red probe is connected to the 'VΩmA' jack for most voltage, resistansi, dan pengukuran arus rendah.

5.1 Mengukur Tegangan DCtage (V–)

1. Masukkan kabel uji merah ke dalam jack 'VΩmA' dan kabel uji hitam ke dalam jack 'COM'.
2. Atur sakelar putar ke tegangan DC yang diinginkan.tage (V–) range (e.g., 200m, 2, 20, 200, 1000V). If the voltagJika e tidak diketahui, mulailah dari rentang tertinggi dan turunkan secara bertahap.
3. Hubungkan probe penguji ke komponen atau rangkaian yang akan diukur.
4. Baca vol.tagnilai e pada layar LCD.

5.2 Mengukur Vol ACtage (V∼)

1. Masukkan kabel uji merah ke dalam jack 'VΩmA' dan kabel uji hitam ke dalam jack 'COM'.
2. Atur sakelar putar ke tegangan AC yang diinginkan.tage (V∼) range (e.g., 200, 750V).
3. Hubungkan probe penguji ke komponen atau rangkaian yang akan diukur.
4. Baca vol.tagnilai e pada layar LCD.

5.3 Mengukur Arus DC (A–)

PERINGATAN: To avoid damage to the multimeter or the circuit, never connect the test leads in parallel across a voltage source when measuring current. Always connect in series.

1. For currents up to 200mA, insert the red test lead into the 'VΩmA' jack. For currents up to 10A, insert the red test lead into the '10A MAX' jack. The black test lead always goes into the 'COM' jack.
2. Set the rotary switch to the desired DC Current (A–) range (e.g., 200u, 2m, 20m, 200m, 10A).
3. Open the circuit where current is to be measured and connect the multimeter in series with the circuit.
4. Baca nilai saat ini pada layar LCD.

5.4 Mengukur Resistansi (Ω)

PERINGATAN: Ensure the circuit under test is completely de-energized before measuring resistance.

1. Masukkan kabel uji merah ke dalam jack 'VΩmA' dan kabel uji hitam ke dalam jack 'COM'.
2. Set the rotary switch to the desired Resistance (Ω) range (e.g., 200, 2k, 20k, 200k, 2M).
3. Hubungkan probe pengujian di seluruh komponen yang akan diukur.
4. Bacalah nilai resistansi pada layar LCD.

5.5 Uji Dioda

1. Masukkan kabel uji merah ke dalam jack 'VΩmA' dan kabel uji hitam ke dalam jack 'COM'.
2. Set the rotary switch to the diode symbol (→|).
3. Hubungkan probe merah ke anoda dan probe hitam ke katoda dioda. Layar akan menampilkan tegangan maju.tagjatuh.
4. Reverse the probes. The display should show 'OL' (open loop) for a good diode.

5.6 Uji Kontinuitas

1. Masukkan kabel uji merah ke dalam jack 'VΩmA' dan kabel uji hitam ke dalam jack 'COM'.
2. Set the rotary switch to the continuity symbol (♫).
3. Connect the test probes across the circuit or component. If continuity exists (resistance below a certain threshold), the buzzer will sound.
