4. ઓપરેટિંગ સૂચનાઓ
The EX820A features a rotary function switch to select the desired measurement mode. Press the 'MODE' button to cycle through functions within a single switch position (e.g., AC/DC voltage, પ્રતિકાર/સાતત્ય).
4.1 Measuring AC Current (Clamp)
- Set the rotary switch to the 'A~' position.
- cl ખોલોamp jaws by pressing the jaw release trigger.
- Enclose a single conductor with the clamp જડબાં. ખાતરી કરો કે જડબાં સંપૂર્ણપણે બંધ છે.

4.3 Using the Infrared Thermometer
- Set the rotary switch to the 'IR TEMP' position.
- Point the meter's IR sensor (located at the top) towards the target surface. The laser pointer will assist in aiming.
- Read the surface temperature on the display.

4.4 LoZ (Low Impedance) Mode
The LoZ function is used to eliminate ghost voltages, which can cause misleading readings. When measuring voltage in circuits where ghost voltages are suspected, select the LoZ mode to provide a low impedance path that dissipates these stray voltages
- Set the rotary switch to the 'V LoZ' position.
- ટેસ્ટ લીડ્સને સર્કિટ તરફ જોડો.
- ભાગ વાંચોtage. This reading will be more accurate in the presence of ghost voltages
૪ લો પાસ ફિલ્ટર (LPF)
The LPF function is designed for accurate measurements on variable frequency drives (VFDs) and other electrically noisy equipment. It filters out high-frequency noise that can distort True RMS readings.
- Set the rotary switch to the 'A~' or 'V~' position.
- Press the 'LPF' button to activate the Low Pass Filter. The LPF icon will appear on the display.
- Proceed with your current or voltage માપન.
4.6 Inrush Current Measurement
The Inrush function captures the maximum current surge when a motor or other inductive load starts up. This is useful for diagnosing motor starting issues.
- Set the rotary switch to the 'A~' position.
- Press the 'INRUSH' button. The meter will be ready to capture the inrush current.
