2. Аюулгүй байдлын мэдээлэл

Always prioritize safety when working with electrical systems. Failure to follow these safety guidelines may result in electric shock, fire, or personal injury.

• Төхөөрөмжийг ашиглахаасаа өмнө бүх зааврыг уншиж, ойлгоорой.
• Хэрэв төхөөрөмж эвдэрсэн эсвэл зөв ажиллахгүй байгаа мэт харагдаж байвал бүү ашиглаарай.
• Ensure the electrical system is within the specified voltage range (90-230V AC) before testing.
• Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as safety glasses and insulated gloves, when working with electricity.
• Төхөөрөмжийг нээх эсвэл өөрчлөхийг бүү оролдоорой. Бүх үйлчилгээг мэргэшсэн боловсон хүчинд шилжүүлээрэй.
• Төхөөрөмжийг ус, чийгээс хол байлга.
• Use caution when testing live circuits. Avoid touching exposed wires or terminals.
• The NCV function is for indication only; always verify voltage with a contact voltage tester before touching wires.
• Do not rely solely on this device for critical safety decisions. Always follow local electrical codes and safety practices.

6.1. Circuit Breaker Finding

1. Plug in the Transmitter: Insert the NF-824 transmitter into the electrical outlet or fixture you wish to trace. Ensure it is securely connected. The transmitter's LCD will display the voltage болон утасны төлөв байдал.
2. Хүлээн авагчийг идэвхжүүлэх: Press and hold the power button on the receiver for a few seconds to turn it on. The receiver will enter "SCAN" mode.
3. Мэдрэмжийг тохируулах: Use the sensitivity switch on the side of the receiver to set the desired detection level. Start with a lower sensitivity and increase if needed.
4. Scan the Breaker Panel: Slowly move the tip of the receiver along the circuit breakers in the electrical panel. Maintain a consistent speed and distance from each breaker.
5. Identify the Breaker: The receiver will provide visual (flashing light on the tip, signal strength on LCD) and audible (beeping) indications when it detects the correct circuit breaker. The strongest and most consistent signal indicates the target breaker.
6. Баталгаажуулах: Once identified, turn off the suspected breaker and check if the power to the original outlet/fixture is cut.

6.2. GFCI Outlet Testing

1. Plug in the Transmitter: Insert the transmitter into a GFCI-protected outlet.
2. Check Wiring Status: Observe the LCD display for the initial wiring status (e.g., "CORRECT").
3. Perform GFCI Test: Press the "GFCI" button on the transmitter. The GFCI outlet should trip, cutting power to the outlet. The transmitter's display will show the trip time.
4. Reset GFCI: Reset the GFCI outlet by pressing its reset button.

Note: If the GFCI does not trip, it may be faulty and should be inspected by a qualified electrician.

6.3. Холбоо барихгүй ботьtage (NCV) Testing

1. Activate NCV: The receiver automatically enters NCV mode when powered on.
2. Scan for Voltage: Move the tip of the receiver near electrical wires, outlets, or devices.
3. Илрүүлэх ботьtage: Хэрэв AC voltage is present, the NCV indicator light on the receiver's tip will flash, and the LCD will show a signal strength bar. The intensity of the light and the number of bars indicate the strength of the detected voltage.
