5. התקנה

5.1 התקנת סוללה

The LSG-4 is battery-powered. Open the battery compartment on the back of the DMM unit and the probe unit. Insert the required batteries, ensuring correct polarity. Close the compartment securely.

5.2 Connecting Test Leads (for Multimeter Functions)

For multimeter measurements, insert the red test lead into the VΩmA jack and the black test lead into the COM jack on the DMM unit.

5.3 Connecting Tone Generator (for Wire Tracking)

To use the wire tracking function, connect the tone generator output from the DMM unit to the cable you wish to trace:

• חיבור RJ11: Plug the RJ11 cable into the dedicated RJ11 port on the DMM unit and the other end into the network or telephone jack of the cable to be traced.
• קליפס תנין: Attach the crocodile clips to the tone generator output on the DMM unit, then securely clip them to the bare ends of the wire to be traced.

6. הוראות הפעלה

6.1 Wire Tracking and Signal Tracing

1. Connect the tone generator to the cable as described in Section 5.3.
2. Turn on the DMM unit and select the 'Tone' function.
3. Turn on the LSG-4 probe.
4. Adjust the sensitivity of the probe using its control dial to optimize signal detection.
5. Move the tip of the probe along the suspected path of the cable. The probe will emit an audible tone when it detects the signal from the tone generator.
6. Follow the strongest signal to accurately trace the cable's route.

6.2 פונקציות רב-מודד

The LSG-4 offers standard multimeter functions. To use these:

1. חבר את חוטי הבדיקה כמתואר בסעיף 5.2.
2. Turn on the DMM unit and select the desired measurement function (e.g., V_AC,V_DC, Ω, Cont).
3. Touch the test probes to the circuit or component you wish to measure.
4. קרא את ערך המדידה על הצג.
5. Use the 'Hold' button to freeze the current reading on the display.
6. The 'MAX' button can be used to capture the maximum measured value.

7. תחזוקה

• ניקוי: נקו את המכשיר בעזרת מטלית רכה ויבשה. אין להשתמש בחומרי ניקוי שוחקים או ממסים.
• החלפת סוללה: Replace batteries when the low battery indicator appears on the display to ensure accurate measurements.
• אִחסוּן: Store the device in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Remove batteries if storing for extended periods.
• כִּיוּל: מומלץ לבצע כיול קבוע על ידי אנשי מקצוע מוסמכים כדי לשמור על דיוק המדידה.

8. פתרון תקלות

• אין תצוגה/כוח: בדוק את התקנת הסוללה וודא שהסוללות טעונות.
• קריאות לא מדויקות: Ensure test leads are properly connected and the correct function/range is selected. Replace batteries if low.
• Weak/No Signal during Tracing: Ensure the tone generator is connected correctly and active. Adjust probe sensitivity. Check for excessive interference from other electrical sources.
• Continuity Test Fails: ודא שהמעגל מנותק. בדוק אם חוטי הבדיקה פגומים.
