GENERAL DESCRIPTION This instrument performs the following measurements: • DC and AC TRMS Voltage. • DC and AC TRMS Current. • Resistance and Continuity test. • Diode test. • Frequency. • Capacitance. All selectable by means of a 10-position function selector (including OFF position).
HT37 - HT39 3. PREPARATION FOR USE 3.1. INITIAL This instrument was checked both mechanically and electrically prior to shipment. All possible cares and precautions were taken to let you receive the instrument in perfect conditions. Notwithstanding we suggest you to check it rapidly (eventual damages may have occurred during transport –...
HT37 - HT39 4.2. FUNCTION KEYS When pressing a key, the corresponding symbol is displayed with a beep. To resume default state turn the selector on another function. 4.2.1. MIN MAX By pressing MIN MAX key, maximum and minimum values are measured. Both values are stored and can be recalled by pressing the same key.
HT37 - HT39 4.2.5. RS-232 for connection to PC (HT39 only) HT39 can be connected to a PC by means of the optional software package mod. SW39 (software + serial cable). To connect HT39 to a PC proceed as follows: Fig.
HT37 - HT39 4.3. MEASUREMENTS 4.3.1. DC Voltage measurement CAUTION Maximum input for DC voltage is 1000V. Do not attempt to take any voltage measurement that exceeds the limits. Exceeding the limits could cause electrical shock and damage the multimeter.
HT37 - HT39 4.3.2. AC Voltage measurement CAUTION Maximum input for AC voltage is 750V rms. Do not attempt to take any voltage measurement exceeding such limit to avoid the risk of electrical shock and damages to the instrument. Fig. 4: AC Voltage measurement 1.
HT37 - HT39 4.3.3. DC Current measurement CAUTION Maximum input for DC current is 10A. Do not attempt to take any current measurement exceeding such limit to avoid the risk of electrical shock and damages to the instrument. Fig. 5: DC Current measurement 1.
HT37 - HT39 4.3.4. AC Current Measurement CAUTION Maximum input for AC current is 10A. Do not attempt to take any current measurement exceeding such limit to avoid the risk of electrical shock and damages to the instrument. Fig. 6: AC Current measurement 1.
HT37 - HT39 4.3.5. Frequency measurement CAUTION Maximum input for AC voltage is 750V rms. Do not attempt to take any voltage measurement exceeding such limit to avoid the risk of electrical shock and damages to the instrument. Fig. 7: Frequency measurement 1.
HT37 - HT39 4.3.6. Resistance measurement CAUTION Before taking resistance measurements in circuit remove power from the circuit being tested and discharge all capacitors. Fig. 8: Resistance measurement 1. Turn the selector on Ω. 2. Insert the test leads into the jacks, the red plug into HzVΩµA jack and the black plug...
HT37 - HT39 4.3.7. Diode test and continuity test CAUTION Before taking resistance measurements in circuit remove power from the circuit being tested and discharge all capacitors. Fig. 9: Diode test and test continuity 1. Turn the selector on 2. Insert the test leads into the jacks, the red plug into HzVΩµA jack and the black plug...
HT37 - HT39 4.3.8. Capacitance measurement CAUTION Before taking any in circuit or capacitance measurement, remove power from the circuit being tested and discharge all capacitors. Use the short test lead pair for measurement in order to reduce the stray capacitance. Before connecting the test capacitor, note the display, which may show a reading other than zero whenever the range is changed.
