4.1 د بیټرۍ نصب کول

The HP-36D meter requires one 9V battery (NEDA 1604 or 6F22 type) for operation. The battery is typically included.

1. Ensure the meter is OFF by rotating the Function Switch to the "OFF" position.
2. د میټر په شا کې د بیټرۍ د برخې پوښ ومومئ.
3. د بیټرۍ د خونې د خلاصولو لپاره د سکریو ډرایور (که اړتیا وي) وکاروئ.
4. یو نوی 9V بیټرۍ دننه کړئ، د سم قطبیت (+ او -) مشاهده وکړئ.
5. د بیټرۍ کمپارټ پوښ بدل کړئ او خوندي یې کړئ.

5. عملیاتي لارښوونې

5.1 د ظرفیت اندازه کول

1. Ensure the capacitor to be measured is fully discharged before connecting it to the meter.
2. Rotate the Function Switch to the desired capacitance range (e.g., 200pF, 2nF, 20nF, etc.). If the capacitance value is unknown, start with the highest range and work downwards until a stable reading is obtained.
3. Press the "ZERO" button to clear any residual capacitance from the test leads. The display should show "000" or close to it.
4. Connect the test leads to the terminals of the capacitor.
5. Read the capacitance value directly from the LCD display.

5.2 د ډیټا هولډ فعالیت

To hold the current reading on the display, press the "HOLD" button. Press it again to release the hold and resume live measurements.

۷.۶ د شاته رڼا فعالیت

In low-light conditions, press the backlight button (indicated by a light bulb icon) to illuminate the LCD display. Press it again to turn off the backlight.

6. ساتنه

6.1 پاکول

Wipe the meter with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use abrasives or solvents. Keep the input jacks free from dust and debris.

6.2 د بیټرۍ بدلول

کله چې د ټیټ بیټرۍ شاخص په ډسپلې کې څرګند شي، نو د 9V بیټرۍ بدله کړئ لکه څنګه چې په 4.1 برخه کې تشریح شوي. که چیرې میټر د اوږدې مودې لپاره د لیکیدو مخنیوي لپاره نه کارول کیږي نو بیټرۍ لرې کړئ.

6.3 ذخیره کول

Store the meter in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep it in its original packaging or a protective case when not in use.

7. ستونزه حل کول

• نه ښودنه: Check if the meter is turned ON. Verify battery installation and replace if necessary.
• بې ثباته لوستل: Ensure the capacitor is fully discharged. Check test lead connections. Try a different measurement range.
• "OL" یا د ډیر بار نښه: The measured capacitance exceeds the selected range. Switch to a higher range.
• ناسم لوستل: Perform a zero adjustment before measurement. Ensure test leads are not damaged.

8.1 Capacitance Measurement Accuracy

9. د کارن لارښوونې

• For best accuracy, always perform a zero adjustment by pressing the "ZERO" button before connecting the capacitor, especially when measuring small capacitance values.
• When measuring unknown capacitors, start with the highest range (20000uF) and gradually decrease the range until you get a stable and accurate reading.
• Utilize the backlight function in dimly lit workspaces to ensure clear visibility of the LCD display.
• The integrated back bracket allows for hands-free operation, making it easier to take measurements.
• This meter is particularly useful for identifying unknown capacitors, matching components for circuits, and diagnosing issues in electronic circuits and cables.
