4. Sazkirin

4.1 Sazkirina Pîl

The Fluke 362 is battery-powered. Although batteries are not included with all packages, they are required for operation. To install or replace batteries:

1. Ensure the meter is turned OFF and no test leads are connected.
2. Qapaxa beşa bateriyê li pişta metreyê bibîne.
3. Ji bo sistkirina pêçan(an) ên ku qapaxê ewle dikin, pêçbirkê bikar bînin.
4. Remove the cover and insert the required batteries, observing correct polarity (+/-).
5. Qapaxa bateriyê vegerîne ser û pêç(an) teng bike.

4.2 Girêdana Serê Testê

Ji bo voltage, resistance, and continuity measurements, connect the test leads to the input terminals:

• Insert the black test lead into the “COM” (common) terminal.
• Insert the red test lead into the “VΩ” (voltage/resistance) terminal.

5. Telîmatên Operating

5.1 Hêzdarkirin/Off

Rotate the function dial from the “OFF” position to any desired measurement function to power on the meter. To power off, rotate the dial back to the “OFF” position.

5.2 Hilbijartina Fonksiyon

Use the rotary function dial to select the desired measurement mode (e.g., A∼ for AC current, A— for DC current, V∼ for AC voltage, V— for DC voltage, Ω for resistance, or continuity).

5.3 Pîvandina Herikê ya AC/DC (Clamp)

To measure current using the clamp hestîyê çengê:

1. Rotate the function dial to A∼ (AC current) or A— (DC current).
2. For DC current measurements, press the “ZERO” button to clear any offset before clamping.
3. cl vekeamp jaw by pressing the trigger.
4. Enclose only one conductor within the jaw. Ensure the jaw is fully closed.
5. Nirxa niha ya li ser ekranê bixwîne.

5.4 AC/DC Voltage Pîvan

To pîvana voltage:

1. Kabloyên ceribandinê wekî ku di Beşa 4.2-an de hatî ravekirin ve girêdin.
2. Rotate the function dial to V∼ (AC voltage) or V— (DC voltage)
3. Probên ceribandinê bi paralel bi devreyê an jî pêkhateya ku hûn dixwazin bipîvin ve girêdin.
4. Bergê bixwînetage nirx li ser ekranê.

5.5 Pîvana Berxwedanê

Ji bo pîvandina berxwedanê:

1. Berî pîvandina berxwedanê, piştrast bikin ku çerx an jî pêkhate bê enerjî ye.

4. Connect the test probes across the component or wire.
5. The meter will emit an audible tone if continuity is detected (resistance below a certain threshold).

5.7 Zero Function (DC Measurements)

The “ZERO” button is primarily used for DC current measurements. Before taking a DC current reading, with the clamp jaw open and no conductor inside, press the “ZERO” button to eliminate any residual offset and ensure accurate readings.

5.8 Fonksiyona Hilgirtina Daneyê

Press the “HOLD” button to freeze the current reading on the display. This is useful for taking readings in hard-to-see locations. Press “HOLD” again to release the reading and return to live measurement.
