The instrument has been designed in compliance with standard IEC/EN61010-1 relevant to electronic measuring instruments. For your safety and in order...
HT61 - HT62 1.2. DURING USE Please carefully read the following recommendations and instructions: CAUTION Failure to comply with the caution notes and/or instructions may damage the instrument and/or its components or be a source of danger for the operator.
HT61 - HT62 2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION The instrument carries out the following measurements: DC Voltage AC TRMS voltage DC/AC voltage with low impedance (LoZ) DC Current AC TRMS Current Resistance and Continuity test Diode test ...
HT61 - HT62 3. PREPARATION FOR USE 3.1. INITIAL CHECKS Before shipping, the instrument has been checked from an electric as well as mechanical point of view. All possible precautions have been taken so that the instrument is delivered undamaged.
HT61 - HT62 4.2. DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTION KEYS 4.2.1. HOLD key Pressing the HOLD key freezes the value of the measured quantity on the display. After pressing this key, the message HOLD appears on the display. Press the HOLD key again “...
HT61 - HT62 4.2.7. LoZ feature This mode permits to perform the AC/DC voltage measurement with a low input impedance in way to avoid the wrong readings due to stray voltage in capacitive coupled. CAUTION Inserting the instrument between phase and ground conductors, the RCDs protection devices can be tripping out during the test.
HT61 - HT62 5. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 5.1. DC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT CAUTION The maximum input DC voltage is 1000V. Do not measure voltages exceeding the limits given in this manual. Exceeding voltage limits could result in electrical shocks to the user and damage to the instrument.
HT61 - HT62 5.2. AC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT CAUTION The maximum input AC voltage is 1000V. Do not measure voltages exceeding the limits given in this manual. Exceeding voltage limits could result in electrical shocks to the user and damage to the instrument.
HT61 - HT62 5.3. AC/DC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT WITH LOW IMPEDANCE (LOZ) CAUTION The maximum input AC/DC voltage is 600V. Do not measure voltages exceeding the limits given in this manual. Exceeding voltage limits could result in electrical shocks to the user and damage to the instrument.
HT61 - HT62 5.4. FREQUENCY AND DUTY CYCLE MEASUREMENT CAUTION The maximum input AC voltage is 1000V. Do not measure voltages exceeding the limits given in this manual. Exceeding voltage limits could result in electrical shocks to the user and damage to the instrument.
HT61 - HT62 5.5. RESISTANCE MEASUREMENT AND CONTINUITY TEST CAUTION Before attempting any resistance measurement, cut off power supply from the circuit to be measured and make sure that all capacitors are discharged, if present. Fig. 6: Use of the instrument for resistance measurement and continuity test 1.
HT61 - HT62 5.6. DIODE TEST CAUTION Before attempting any resistance measurement, cut off power supply from the circuit to be measured and make sure that all capacitors are discharged, if present. Fig. 7: Use of the instrument for diode test 1.
HT61 - HT62 5.7. CAPACITANCE MEASUREMENT (HT62) CAUTION Before carrying out capacitance measurements on circuits or capacitors, cut off power supply from the circuit being tested and let all capacitance in it be discharged. When connecting the multimeter and the capacitance to be measured, respect the correct polarity (when required).
HT61 - HT62 5.8. TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT WITH K PROBE (HT62) CAUTION Before attempting any temperature measurement, cut off power supply from the circuit to be measured and make sure that all capacitors are discharged, if present. Fig. 9: Use of the instrument for Temperature measurement 1.
HT61 - HT62 5.9. DC CURRENT MEASUREMENT CAUTION Maximum input DC current is 10A (input 10A) or 600mA (input mAA). Do not measure currents exceeding the limits given in this manual. Exceeding voltage limits could result in electrical shocks to the user and damage to the instrument.
HT61 - HT62 5.10. AC CURRENT MEASUREMENT CAUTION Maximum input AC current is 10A (input 10A) or 600mA (input mAA). Do not measure currents exceeding the limits given in this manual. Exceeding voltage limits could result in electrical shocks to the user and damage to the instrument.
HT61 - HT62 6. MAINTENANCE CAUTION Only expert and trained technicians should perform maintenance operations. Before carrying out maintenance operations, disconnect all cables from the input terminals. Do not use the instrument in environments with high humidity levels or high temperatures.
