Setup
1. Battery Installation and Charging
The HYTAIS TS60 multimeter includes a built-in battery. Before first use, ensure the device is fully charged using the provided USB charging cable. Connect the USB cable to the multimeter's charging port and a suitable USB power source. The display will indicate charging status.
2. Connecting Test Leads
For most measurements, connect the red test lead to the 'INPUT' terminal (positive) and the black test lead to the 'COM' terminal (common/negative). For current measurements, refer to the specific instructions in the 'Operating' section.
Operating Instructions
The HYTAIS TS60 features an 'AI Smart' mode for automatic range and function detection, simplifying measurements. It also supports manual mode for specific functions.
1. Power On/Off
Press and hold the power button (usually marked with a power symbol) to turn the multimeter on or off.
2. AI Smart Mode (Auto Range)
Upon powering on, the multimeter typically defaults to 'AI' or 'SMART' mode. In this mode, the device automatically identifies the measurement type (voltage, resistance, continuity, etc.) and selects the appropriate range. Simply connect the test leads to the circuit or component to be measured.
3. Manual Function Selection
Press the 'SEL' button to cycle through different functions within a measurement category (e.g., AC Voltage vs. DC Voltage if not automatically detected, or to switch to specific modes like Diode or Continuity). The 'SMART' button can be used to toggle between smart mode and manual mode.
4. Specific Measurement Procedures
- **Voltage Measurement (AC/DC):**
Connect test leads to the circuit in parallel. The multimeter will automatically detect AC or DC voltage in smart mode. - **Current Measurement (AC/DC):**
For current measurements, the test leads must be connected in series with the circuit. Ensure the red lead is connected to the '10A' or 'mA' terminal based on the expected current range, and the black lead to 'COM'. Select the appropriate current mode using the 'SEL' button if necessary. The device has fused inputs (FUSED MAX 600mA, FUSED MAX 10A) for protection. - **Resistance Measurement:**
Ensure the circuit is de-energized. Connect test leads across the component to measure resistance. - **Capacitance Measurement:**
Ensure the capacitor is discharged before measurement. Connect test leads across the capacitor terminals. - **Continuity Test:**
Connect test leads across the circuit or component. A beep indicates continuity. - **Diode Test:**
Connect test leads across the diode. The forward voltage drop will be displayed. The green LED on the test lead may light up for forward bias. - **NCV (Non-Contact Voltage) Detection:**
Hold the top of the multimeter near a live wire or electrical outlet. The device will indicate the presence of AC voltage without direct contact. - **LIVE Wire Identification:**
Use the 'N/L' button to activate Live Wire identification. Place the red test lead into the socket or near the wire. The display will show 'LIVE' if it detects a live wire. - **Temperature Measurement:**
Connect the temperature probe to the multimeter's input terminals (observing polarity if specified by the probe). Select the temperature function. - **Frequency and Duty Cycle:**
Connect test leads to the signal source. The multimeter will display frequency (Hz) and duty cycle (%).
5. Data Hold Function
Press the 'HOLD' button to freeze the current reading on the display. Press it again to release.
Maintenance and Safety
1. Cleaning
Wipe the multimeter with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the device is powered off before cleaning.
2. Battery Care
Recharge the battery when the low battery indicator appears. For long-term storage, charge the battery to approximately 50% and store in a cool, dry place. Recharge periodically to maintain battery health.
3. Storage
Store the multimeter in its carrying case in a dry environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. The device is protected by a PVC soft rubber sleeve for enhanced durability.
4. Safety Precautions
- Always ensure the correct function and range are selected before making a measurement.
- Do not exceed the maximum input values specified for each function.
- The device is rated CAT III 600V. Always adhere to safety standards for the environment you are working in.
- The multimeter features an "Anti-burning" design and fused inputs (FUSED MAX 600mA, FUSED MAX 10A) for enhanced safety.
- Never attempt to measure voltage or current on live circuits without proper training and safety equipment.
- Inspect test leads for damage before each use.
Troubleshooting
- **No display or erratic readings:** Check battery charge. Ensure test leads are securely connected.
- **Incorrect readings:** Verify the correct function is selected (if not in smart mode). Ensure proper connection to the circuit.
- **Multimeter does not respond:** Try turning the device off and on again. If issues persist, contact customer support.

User Tips
- **Leverage AI Smart Mode:** For quick and general measurements, rely on the AI Smart mode. It automatically detects the type of measurement, making it user-friendly for beginners and efficient for experienced users.
- **Check Fuses:** If current measurements are not working, check the internal fuses. The anti-burning feature helps protect the device, but fuses can still blow under extreme overload.
- **Use NCV for Initial Safety Check:** Before touching any wires, use the NCV function to quickly check for the presence of voltage, adding an extra layer of safety.
- **Keep Test Leads Organized:** Always store test leads neatly to prevent damage and ensure they are ready for the next use. The included carrying case is ideal for this.
