2. Інформація про безпеку

Please read and understand all safety instructions before using this device. Failure to follow these instructions may result in electric shock, fire, or personal injury.

• Always ensure the multimeter is in the correct function mode before connecting to a circuit.
• Не намагайтеся виміряти обtages or currents exceeding the specified maximum limits (e.g., 600V).
• Будьте надзвичайно обережні під час роботи з ланцюгами під напругою. Завжди вважайте, що ланцюги знаходяться під напругою, доки не буде доведено протилежне.
• Do not use the device if it appears damaged or if the test leads are compromised.
• Тримайте пальці за захисними кришками на вимірювальних щупах під час вимірювань.
• Replace batteries promptly when the low battery indicator appears to ensure accurate readings and uninterrupted operation.
• Avoid using the multimeter in wet environments or during electrical storms.

4. Налаштування: Встановлення батареї

The SNAKOL SK-216B requires two 1.5V AAA batteries for operation. Batteries are included with the kit.

малюнок 4.1: Battery compartment with AAA batteries installed.

This image illustrates the battery compartment of the SNAKOL SK-216B multimeter, showing two 1.5V AAA batteries correctly inserted. The compartment is typically located on the back or side of the device and secured with a cover. Ensure correct polarity when inserting batteries.

1. Знайдіть кришку відсіку для батарейок на задній панелі мультиметра.
2. Використайте викрутку (за потреби), щоб відкрити батарейний відсік.
3. Insert two 1.5V AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+ and -) as indicated inside the compartment.
4. Надійно закрийте кришку відсіку для акумулятора.
5. The device is now ready for use. Replace batteries when the low battery indicator appears on the display.

5. Інструкція з експлуатації

To operate the SNAKOL SK-216B, press the Power/Function Selection Key to turn it on. Use the same key to cycle through different measurement functions.

5.1. AC/DC Voltage Вимірювання

малюнок 5.1: Вимірювання AC voltagе в електричному щиті.

This image shows the SNAKOL SK-216B multimeter in use, measuring AC voltage within an electrical panel. The display clearly shows a reading of "223.1V AC". The positive probe (pen tip) is inserted into a terminal, and the negative probe (black lead) is connected to another point, demonstrating a typical voltage measurement setup. The device is capable of measuring both AC and DC voltagдо 600В.

1. Turn on the multimeter. Select the AC Voltage (V~) or DC Voltage (V-) mode using the Power/Function Selection Key.
2. Connect the positive probe (pen tip) to the positive point of the circuit and the negative probe (black lead) to the negative or common point.
3. Прочитайте томtage value displayed on the AV color screen.
4. The device automatically detects AC or DC voltage in auto-ranging mode.

5.2. Resistance, Diode, Capacitance, and Frequency Measurement

Cycle through the functions using the Power/Function Selection Key until the desired mode (Ω for resistance, ⟷ for diode, F for capacitance, Hz for frequency) is displayed.

• Опір (Ом): Підключіть щупи до компонента, щоб виміряти його опір.
• Diode (⟷): Підключіть щупи до діода. На дисплеї відобразиться пряма напруга.tage крапля.
• Ємність (F): Підключіть щупи до конденсатора. Перед тестуванням переконайтеся, що конденсатор розряджений.
• Частота (Гц): Connect the probes to the signal source to measure its frequency.

5.3. Перевірка безперервності

The continuity test checks for an unbroken path in a circuit. A built-in buzzer sounds if the resistance is less than 50Ω.

1. Select the continuity mode (often indicated by a speaker icon) using the Power/Function Selection Key.
2. Connect the probes to the two points of the circuit you wish to test.
3. If there is continuity (low resistance), the buzzer will sound.

5.4. Безконтактний Voltage (NCV) Виявлення

малюнок 5.2: NCV Non-Contact Sensing in action.

This image demonstrates the NCV (Non-Contact Voltage) sensing capability of the SNAKOL SK-216B multimeter. The device is held near a bundle of electrical wires, and a red indicator light is flashing, accompanied by visual representations of "di di di" sounds, indicating the detection of AC voltage. The closer the meter tip is to the power source, the more urgent the alarm sound and the more analog bars appear on the LCD display, signifying stronger electric field detection.

малюнок 5.3: Line Break Detection using NCV mode.

This image illustrates the line break detection feature of the SNAKOL SK-216B multimeter in NCV non-contact voltage detection mode. It shows two segments of a single-stranded wire, one electrified and one not. The multimeter is shown detecting the presence of electrification along the wire, and the absence of a signal beyond a certain point helps identify the location of a break in the line. This is a useful feature for quickly diagnosing cable faults.

1. Press the NCV/LIVE Selection Key to enter NCV mode.
2. Move the tip of the multimeter close to the conductor you suspect has AC voltage.
3. Якщо змінний обtage is detected, the red indicator light will flash, and an audible alarm will sound. The frequency of the alarm and the number of analog bars on the display will increase as you get closer to the voltagе джерело.
4. This mode can also be used for line break detection in energized wires.

5.5. Виявлення проводів під напругою

This function helps identify live (hot) wires from neutral wires.

1. Press the NCV/LIVE Selection Key to cycle to LIVE mode.
2. Touch the positive probe (pen tip) to the wire you want to test.
3. The display will indicate if the wire is live, often with a specific symbol or reading.

5.6. Data Hold and Flashlight

малюнок 5.4: Reflective screen and torch illumination.

This image highlights two key features of the SNAKOL SK-216B multimeter: its reflective screen and built-in torch illumination. The reflective screen provides clear and accurate readings even in low-light conditions, enhancing visibility. The integrated torch light, emanating from the tip of the pen, improves visibility in dark environments, reducing the risk of electrical shock by allowing users to see their measurement points clearly.

• Утримання даних: Briefly press the "HOLD" button to freeze the current reading on the display. Press again to release.
• Ліхтарик: Long press the "HOLD" button to turn the built-in flashlight on or off. This improves visibility in dimly lit work areas.
