HT32 1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND PROCEDURES This instrument conforms with safety Standard EN 61010-1 related to electronic measuring instruments. For your own safety and to avoid damaging the instrument follow the procedures described in this instruction manual and read carefully all notes preceded by this symbol When taking measurements: ...
HT32 Before connecting the test probes to the installation, make sure that the function selector is positioned on the required measurement. Make sure that LCD and function selector indicate the same function. 1.2. DURING USE Read the recommendations which follow and the instructions in this manual:...
HT32 1.4. MEASURING (OVERVOLTAGE) CATEGORIES DEFINITIONS EN 61010-1: Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use, Part 1: General requirements, gives a definition of measuring category, usually called overvoltage category. Paragraph 6.7.4: Measuring circuits: (OMISSIS) circuits are divided into the following measurement categories: ...
HT32 2. 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). 4 FUNCTION keys are also available to hold the displayed value and select the desired function.
HT32 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 –...
HT32 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.
HT32 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. Fig. 2: DC Voltage measurement 1.
HT32 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. 3: AC Voltage measurement 1.
HT32 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. 4: DC Current measurement 1.
HT32 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. 5: AC Current measurement 1.
HT32 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. 6: Frequency measurement 1.
HT32 4.3.6. Resistance measurement CAUTION Before taking resistance measurements in circuit remove power from the circuit being tested and discharge all capacitors. Fig. 7: Resistance measurement 1. Turn the selector on . 2. Insert the test leads into the jacks, the red plug into HzVA jack and the black...
HT32 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. 8: Diode test and continuity test 1. Turn the selector on 2. Insert the test leads into the jacks, the red plug into HzVA jack and the black...
HT32 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.
HT32 5. MAINTENANCE 5.1. GENERAL INFORMATION 1. This is a precision instrument. To guarantee its performances be sure to use it according to these instructions and keep it stored on suitable environmental conditions. 2. Do not expose it to high temperatures or humidity or direct sunlight.
HT32 5.3. FUSE REPLACEMENT CAUTION Before replacing fuses, disconnect test leads from any energized circuit to avoid electrical shock. LEGEND: 1. Turn meter disconnect the test leads from the input terminals. 2. Remove the protective holster from the meter. 3. Unscrew the battery cover and remove the battery.
