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.
HT701 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. Before activating the rotary switch, disconnect the test leads from the circuit under test.
HT701 2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION Instrument HT701 carries out the following measurements: DC and AC TRMS voltage DC and AC TRMS current Resistance and Continuity test Insulation resistance with test voltage of 50, 100, 250, 500, 1000VDC ...
HT701 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. However, we recommend generally checking the instrument in order to detect possible damage suffered during transport.
HT701 4.2. DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTION KEYS The following § describes the functions of the different keys. When pressing a key, the display shows the symbol of the activated function and the buzzer sounds. 4.2.1. HOLD/LOCK key Pressing the HOLD/LOCK key: ...
HT701 4.2.5. STORE/RECALL key The STORE/RECALL key carries out the following operations: Simply pressing the key allows saving the value on the display in the memory. The symbol “MEM” flashes for a second and the considered memory location is immediately indicated on the display.
HT701 4.3. INTERNAL MODES OF THE INSTRUMENT 4.3.1. Deactivation of the Autobacklight function The instrument has a display backlighting function (see Fig.1 – part 1) which activates automatically in conditions of poor visibility. The function deactivates automatically after a few seconds. To manually disable the function, proceed as follows: 1.
HT701 4.4. MEASURING OPERATIONS 4.4.1. DC Voltage measurement CAUTION The maximum input DC voltage is 1000 V. 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.
HT701 4.4.2. AC Voltage and Frequency measurement CAUTION The maximum input AC voltage is 1000Vrms. 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.
HT701 4.4.3. DC Current measurement CAUTION The maximum input DC current is 400mA. Do not measure currents exceeding the limits given in this manual. Exceeding current limits could result in electrical shocks to the user and damage to the instrument.
HT701 4.4.4. AC current and frequency measurement CAUTION The maximum input AC current is 400mA. Do not measure currents exceeding the limits given in this manual. Exceeding current limits could result in electrical shocks to the user and damage to the instrument.
HT701 4.4.5. 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.
HT701 4.4.6. Diode test CAUTION Before attempting any diode test, 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. Select the ...
HT701 4.4.7. Capacitance measurement 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. Fig. 8: Use of the instrument for Capacitance measurement Select the position.
HT701 4.4.8. Temperature measurement Fig. 9: Use of the instrument for Temperature measurement 1. Select the °C°F position. 2. Press the MODE key to select measurement in °C or °F. 3. Insert the provided adapter into the input terminals Hz°CV...
HT701 4.4.9. Insulation resistance measurement CAUTION Check that no voltage is present at the ends of the circuit to be tested before carrying out an insulation measurement. During the whole test, make sure that the applied voltage cannot be accessed by third parties and adequately arrange the system by disconnecting everything that must not be included in the test.
HT701 5. MAINTENANCE CAUTION Only expert and trained technicians should perform maintenance operations. Before carrying out this operations, make sure you have disconnected all cables from the input terminals Do not use the instrument in environments with high humidity levels or high temperatures.
