4. Nastavitev
4.1 Namestitev baterije
- Poiščite pokrov predalčka za baterije na zadnji strani merilnika.
- Use a screwdriver to loosen the screw(s) and remove the cover.
- Insert the 9V battery (6F22) into the compartment, observing correct polarity.
- Namestite pokrov predalčka za baterije in privijte vijak(e).
4.2 Začetni pregled
- Press the POWER button to turn on the meter.
- Verify that the LCD display shows "0.000mA" or a similar low reading in a stable environment.
- If a low battery indicator appears, replace the battery before use.
5. Navodila za uporabo
5.1 Measuring AC Leakage Current
- Vklopite merilnik s pritiskom na MOČ gumb.
- Odprite clamp čeljust s pritiskom na sprožilec.
- Previdno clamp the meter around a single conductor (live, neutral, or ground wire) of the circuit you wish to measure. Ensure the jaw is completely closed.
- Read the leakage current value displayed on the LCD. The meter will automatically select the appropriate range.
- For accurate readings, ensure no other conductors are within the clamp čeljust.
5.2 Funkcija zadrževanja podatkov
- Med merjenjem pritisnite PRIDRŽI button to freeze the current reading on the display.
- Pritisnite PRIDRŽI button again to release the data hold and resume live measurement.
5.3 Peak Hold Function
- The meter automatically captures peak values. Refer to the specific manual for detailed instructions on accessing and clearing peak hold readings.

6. Data Logging and RS-232 Interface
The UT251A can store up to 99 sets of measurement data. This data can be retrieved and analyzed using the RS-232 interface and the provided PC software.
6.1 Shranjevanje podatkov
- During a measurement, press the appropriate button (refer to the specific manual for button identification, often labeled "MEM" or similar) to save the current reading.
- The meter will indicate successful data storage, often by displaying a memory location number.
6.2 Connecting to PC via RS-232
- Install the PC software from the provided CD onto your computer.
- Connect the RS-232 interface cable to the meter's RS-232 port and to your computer's serial port (or a USB-to-serial adapter).
- Launch the PC software.
- Follow the software's instructions to establish communication with the meter and download the stored data.
