How to Use Hybrid Multimeter VS-228
The Hybrid Multimeter VS-228 is designed for automotive technicians, engineers, and hobbyists who require a durable and multifunctional tool. Here is a typical way to use it:
- Power On and Configure
Turn on the multimeter and select the measurement mode using the dial. Choose from voltage, current, resistance, temperature, or one of the other 14 supported functions. - Connect the Probes or Pick-Up
Use the provided test leads or inductive RPM pick-up depending on the diagnostic function. Make sure to connect correctly to the input ports based on the selected measurement range. - Measure RPM or Injector Timing
For RPM, clamp the inductive pick-up onto a spark plug wire. For ms-pulse width testing, connect to the injector wire. The device will measure on-time, which helps identify issues in fuel delivery and timing systems. - Capture Readings
Use the Data Hold or Peak Hold function to freeze the current reading on the display. This is useful for capturing fluctuating values. - Review and Compare Values
Analyse the dwell angle or duty cycle to evaluate the ignition system and feedback carburettor functions. Use the large LCD for easy viewing. - Power Down
The unit powers down automatically when not in use. Alternatively, switch it off manually and store it safely in its case to protect it from dust and impacts.
