1. PRECAUTIONS AND SAFETY MEASURES The instrument has been designed in compliance with directive IEC/EN61010-1 relevant to electronic measuring instruments. For your safety and in order to prevent damaging the instrument, please carefully follow the procedures described in this manual and read all notes preceded by the symbol with the utmost attention.
1.4. DEFINITION OF MEASUREMENT (OVERVOLTAGE) CATEGORY Standard CEI 61010: Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use, Part 1: General requirements” defines measurement category, commonly called overvoltage category. In § 6.7.4: Measured circuits, circuits are divided into the following measurement categories: (OMISSIS) •...
2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION The instrument HT5 can be used as: • Lamp test for gas filled lamps • Continuity / diode test • Single pole voltage test • Torch light The instrument can be also used for testing ballasts, starters, capacitors, resistors more than the herewith lamp types: •...
4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 4.1. INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION CAPTION: 1. Test Probe for lamp test, voltage test and continuity/diode test 2. “Test” LED 3. “Continuity/Voltage” LED 4. Touch electrode for voltage test and Continuity / diode test 5. Button for lamp test 6.
5. INSTRUMENT FUNCTIONS 5.1. PHASE DETECTION The HT5 can be used as phase detector in the presence of voltage between 60V and 250V AC. Measurement procedure: • Touch contact “Electrode” (see Fig. 1 - point 4) during voltage test • Connect test probe (see Fig. 1 – point 1) to the device under test •...
5.2. LAMP TEST The HT5 allows you to quickly detect the presence of faults in lamps, especially for all gas- filled low pressure and high pressure vapour lamps. Measurement procedure: • connect test probe (see Fig. 1 – point 1) to glass body or lamp socket •...
5.3. CONTINUITY / DIODE TEST HT5 allows continuity and diode tests with optical and acoustic indication. CAUTION Prior to any continuity test, it must be ensured that the resistance to be measured is not live. Failure to comply with this prescription can lead to dangerous user injuries.
6. MAINTENANCE 6.1. GENERAL INFORMATION 1. While using and storing the instrument, carefully observe the recommendations listed in this manual in order to prevent possible damage or danger during use. 2. Do not use the instrument in environments with high humidity levels or high temperatures.
