2. Safety Information

WARNING: Improper use of this meter can cause damage, shock, injury, or death. Always follow all safety precautions.

• Altyd hâlde oan lokale en nasjonale feiligens koades.
• Do not use the meter if it appears damaged or if the insulation on test leads is compromised.
• Soargje derfoar dat de meter ynsteld is op de juste funksje en it juste berik foardat jo mjittingen dogge.
• Avoid contact with live circuits. Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).
• The device is rated for CAT II 600V. Do not exceed these limits.
• Ferfange de batterijen fuortendaliks as de yndikator foar lege batterij ferskynt.
• Do not operate the meter in explosive atmospheres.

3. Produkt Overview en komponinten

• Clamp Jaw: For non-contact AC/DC current measurement.
• Funksjeselektorknop: To select measurement modes (A~, A=, V~, V=, Ω/Continuity, OFF).
• LCD Display: Toant mjittingslêzingen, ienheden en yndikatoaren.
• Knoppen: AC/DC, ZERO, H/MAX (Data Hold/Max Hold).
• Ynfierterminalen: COM (common) and VΩ (voltage/resistance) for test leads.
• Hânbeskerming: Provides protection against accidental contact.

4. Opsette

4.1 Batterij Ynstallaasje

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

1. Soargje derfoar dat it apparaat OFF is.
2. Locate the battery compartment cover on the rear of the meter.
3. Brûk in schroevendraaier om it fak te iepenjen.
4. Insert the two AAA batteries, observing correct polarity (+ and -).
5. Ferfange de batterij compartment cover en befestigje it mei de skroef.

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

4.2 Testkabels ferbine

Foar voltage, resistance, and continuity measurements, connect the supplied test leads:

• Foegje de swarte test lead yn 'e COM (common) input terminal.
• Foegje de reade test lead yn 'e VΩ ynfier terminal.

5. Bedriuwsinstruksjes

5.1 Power On / Off

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 AC/DC stroommjitting (Clamp)

To measure current without breaking the circuit:

1. Draai de funksjeselektorknop nei de A~ (AC Current) or A= (DC Current) position.
2. Druk op de AC/DC button if you need to switch between AC and DC current modes (if the dial position combines them).
3. Druk op de NUL button to zero the display before measuring DC current, especially for small currents, to compensate for residual magnetism.
4. Iepenje de clamp kaak troch op de trekker te drukken.
5. Allinnich ynslute ien conductor with the clamp kaak. Soargje derfoar dat de kaak folslein sluten is.
6. Lês de aktuele wearde op it LCD-display.

5.3 AC/DC Voltage Meting

Om voltage:

1. Ferbine de testkabels lykas beskreaun yn seksje 4.2.
2. Draai de funksjeselektorknop nei de V~ (AC-folumetage) of V= (DC Voltage) posysje.
3. Ferbine de testsondes parallel mei it sirkwy of komponint dat jo mjitte wolle.
4. Lês de voltage wearde op it LCD -display.

5.4 Resistance and Continuity Measurement

To measure resistance or check for continuity:

1. Ferbine de testkabels lykas beskreaun yn seksje 4.2.
2. Draai de funksjeselektorknop nei de Ω/))) (Resistance/Continuity) position.
3. For resistance: Connect the test probes across the component. Ensure the circuit is de-energized.
4. For continuity: Touch the test probes to the two points you want to check. A continuous beep indicates a low-resistance path (continuity).
5. Lês de wjerstânswearde op it LCD-skerm.

5.5 Spesjale funksjes

• Echte RMS: The meter measures True Root Mean Square values for AC voltage and current, providing accurate readings for non-sinusoidal waveforms.
• Gegevenshâld (H): Druk op de H/MAX knop koart om de aktuele lêzing op it display te befriezen. Druk nochris om los te litten.
• Maximum Value Hold (MAX): Druk en hâld de 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.
• Automatyske berik: The meter automatically selects the appropriate measurement range.
• Auto Power Off: 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).

6. Underhâld

6.1 Cleaning

Wipe the meter's case with a damp doek en in myld reinigingsmiddel. Brûk gjin skuurmiddels of oplosmiddels. Soargje derfoar dat de meter folslein droech is foar gebrûk.

6.2 Batterijferfanging

Refer to Section 4.1 for instructions on battery replacement. Always use two fresh 1.5V AAA batteries. Remove batteries if the meter is not used for an extended period to prevent leakage.

6.3 Opslach

Store the meter in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Use the provided carrying case for protection.
