Налаштування
Установка батареї
The MD 9040 is powered by a 9V battery. To install or replace the battery, locate the battery compartment on the rear of the device. Open the compartment, insert the 9V battery ensuring correct polarity, and then securely close the cover. Always replace the battery when the low battery indicator appears on the display to maintain measurement accuracy.
Підключення тестового проводу
Connect the test leads to the appropriate input jacks on the multimeter's front panel. The device features a lead alert system to indicate incorrect connections, enhancing user safety. Refer to the following guidelines:
- для тtage, resistance, capacitance, diode, and continuity measurements, connect the red test lead to the VΩHz гніздо та чорний вимірювальний дріт до COM Джек.
- для current measurements (mA µA), connect the red test lead to the мА мкА гніздо та чорний вимірювальний дріт до COM Джек.
- для high current measurements (up to 10A), connect the red test lead to the 10А гніздо та чорний вимірювальний дріт до COM Джек.

Інструкція з експлуатації
Увімкнення/вимкнення живлення
To power on the MD 9040, rotate the central function switch from the ВИМКНЕНО position to the desired measurement function. To power off the device, rotate the switch back to the ВИМКНЕНО положення.
Функції вимірювання
The MD 9040 offers a comprehensive range of measurement capabilities:
- томtagе (змінний/постійний струм): Виберіть V~ для AC voltage або V- для DC томtagе вимірювання.
- Струм (змінний/постійний): Виберіть A~ for AC current or A- for DC current measurements. Ensure the test leads are connected to the appropriate current input jacks (mA µA or 10A).
- Опір (Ом): Виберіть Ом position for resistance measurements.
- Ємність (F): Виберіть F position for capacitance measurements.
- Випробування діодів: Select the diode symbol for testing diodes.
- Тест безперервності: Select the continuity symbol for checking circuit continuity, indicated by an audible tone.
- Частота (Гц): Виберіть Hz position for frequency measurements.
Auto-Ranging and Manual Ranging
The multimeter defaults to auto-ranging, which automatically selects the most suitable measurement range. To switch to manual ranging, press the RANGE button. In manual ranging, press RANGE repeatedly to cycle through available ranges. To return to auto-ranging, press and hold the RANGE кнопку.
Режим відносного нуля
Натисніть ВІДНОС button to activate relative zero mode. This function subtracts the current displayed reading from all subsequent measurements, which is useful for comparing values or nulling out background noise. Press ВІДНОС знову, щоб вийти з цього режиму.
Утримання даних
Натисніть ТРИМАТИ button to freeze the current reading on the display. This allows for convenient recording of measurements. Press ТРИМАТИ again to release the display and resume live readings.
Технічне обслуговування
Заміна батареї
When the low battery indicator appears on the display, replace the 9V battery promptly to ensure continued accurate operation. Refer to the 'Setup' section for detailed battery installation instructions.
прибирання
To clean the multimeter casing, використовуйте м'який, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the device. Ensure the multimeter is powered off and disconnected from any electrical circuits before cleaning.
Зберігання
Store the MD 9040 in a dry, cool environment, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity. If the device will not be used for an extended period, it is recommended to remove the battery to prevent potential leakage and damage.
Усунення несправностей
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your MD 9040 multimeter.
- Без дисплея/живлення: Check the battery charge level and ensure the 9V battery is correctly installed with proper polarity.
- Неточні показання: Verify that the correct measurement function is selected on the rotary switch. Ensure test leads are properly connected to the correct input jacks and that the battery is not low.
- Lead Alert Warning: If the lead alert activates, recheck all test lead connections to ensure they are inserted into the appropriate input jacks for the selected measurement function.
- Display Shows "OL" (Overload): This indicates that the measured value exceeds the currently selected range. Switch to a higher measurement range or ensure the input signal is within the device's specified limits.
