Make sure to read through "Safety Information" before using
Rapport337.

This basic instruction manual is for users of Rapport337. Starting
with the outline of Rapport337, the manual is emphasized on the
explanations of its operation, how to be connected to the other
devices, how to use every button, and how to set up the system.

It is highly recommended, for those who have handled similar
devices as well as for those who are using it for the first time, to
read every description line by line, especially cautions, before using
the Rapport 337.

And when there is any question when in use or there is any
damage, make sure to contact the dealer of your Rapport337.

In the 1st Chapter "Safety Information", warnings and
precautions are explained for the safety of users when Rapport337
is in use.

In the 2nd Chapter "Introduction of Rapport337", its features
and appearance are explained.

In the 3rd Chapter "Specifications of Rapport337" , the
specification of the rapport337 components are explained.

◉ The following is important to use Rapport337 safely.

First of all, read through "the precautions for your safety" before
using the system.

Make sure to check the input and output range of voltage or current
at every input and output ports of Rapport337 before connecting
each of them, so that the system cannot be overloaded when in
use.

Set up the range for measuring voltage, current and resistance for
their known values and use the maximum range for unknown values
to protect the unit from damage.

The following operational environment should be maintained
constantly for the proper use of Rapport337.

• Temperature : -10℃ ~ 50℃

• Relative humidity : 30% ~ 90%

• Recharging voltage : 12V ± 10%, above 1A

◉

Pay attention to the following precautions when using
Rapport337.

•

Do not use the unit in damp humidity or leaking gas environments.

•Do not touch it with wet hands.

•Be mindful not to shock or shake the unit while in use to avoid

damage.

•Avoid the places of strong magnetism or electric wave, which
would cause incorrect measuring.

•Be careful not to expose the ports or joints to dirt or liquid.

•Make sure to use specified replacement fuses described in the

3rd chapter.

•Do not disassemble the Rapport 337.

•Do not use the meter function, when the Rapport337 or the lead

set look damaged.

•Do not measure resistance when the power is applied to a circuit.

•When using the meter function, do not forget to turn on the power

of Rapport337 and set up the proper measurement mode before
connecting to a circuit to be measured.

◉ Battery Charging & Its Precautions

With the rechargeable 6 nickel hydrogen
(Ni-MH) AA-size batteries placed in,
Rapport337 can be charged with an
adopter of above DC 12V, 1A, and it
takes more than 8 hrs for the battery to
be fully charged.
The battery operates normally after initial
2 or 3 times of full charging, and it can be
used for about 4 hrs and above.
The battery charging can be checked on
the initial picture of POWER ON, and
also confirmed on the VIEW INFORMATION.
The battery is recharged when connected
to a DC adopter irrespective of the Power
slide S/W or button.

Alkaline battery(AA size) is usable for
about 2 hrs.

•Turn off the power to the circuit to be measured and discharge all
high voltage capacitance before starting resistance or continuity
tests to avoid damage to the Rapport 337.

•Put the finger behind the protecting pad when using a probe.

W A R N I N G

To prevent an electric shock, injury or damage to RAPPORT337, cut
off the power supply of the circuit, and discharge all the high-voltage
capacity before testing resistance and continuity.

When applying the meter function by using your RAPPORT337, make
sure to turn on its power and set up the proper mode before
connecting the test lead set to the circuit to be tested.

•MEASURING RESISTANCE

The unit of resistance is Ω. The meter sends low current into the circuit so
that resistance can be measured. This current runs all the paths between
probes, and the measured resistance value is all values added among
them.

•TESTING CONTINUITY

Continuity means the presence of a complete path for current to flow. And
the continuity test features a beep that sounds when a circuit is complete.
The beep allows users to quickly test continuity without having to watch the
display.

How to measure : Connect the red
lead to and the black lead to ,
as shown in the figure above at left.
and measure the resistance directly
at the resistance measuring mode,
by pressing on the key pad.

How to test :The resistance mode returns to the continuity mode, when
is pressed. The beeper is activated when the resistance between the

red probe and black probe is below 80Ω.

•MEASURING AC & DC VOLTAGE

Voltage means the difference in electrical potential between two points. The
polarity of AC voltage varies over time, while the polarity of DC is constant
over time. The meter displays ac voltage values as rms (root mean square
readings. The rms value means the equivalent dc voltage that can produce
the same amount of heat in a resistance as the measured sinewave
voltage.

How to measure : First, press , the voltage measuring button, and then

select AC or DC by pressing In case of DC to be measured, place the

•MEASURING AC & DC CURRENT

Current is simply defined as a flow of electrons running through a
conductor. To measure current, you must break the circuit under test, and
then place the meter in series with the circuit. The current measuring range
of the meter is 10A max.

How to measure : First, turn off the power of the circuit, and, discharge
the high voltage capacitor. Fix the red lead into the terminals of mA and
10A in accordance with the value to be measured. Select one of the buttons

W A R N I N G

Check for the location of the test lead set at current test mode. Place
the red lead at mA only for below 400mA, and place it at 10A when the
value to be tested is over 400mA, or the value is unknown.

W A R N I N G

Use it only for the current measuring after checking for the test mode.
Especially, after the current mode is selected, there may occur
burnout of fuses, damage, or breakdown of the system when the
voltage is measured.

◉ PTZ CONTROLLER
