5. Setup

5.1 Battery Installation

The HT93 multimeter requires 2 x 1.5V AAA batteries (not included). Follow these steps to install them:

1. Ensure the multimeter is powered off and test leads are disconnected.
2. Locate the battery compartment cover on the back of the device.
3. Use a screwdriver to open the battery compartment.
4. Insert two AAA batteries, observing the correct polarity (+/-).
5. Close the battery compartment cover and secure it with the screw.

5.2 Connecting Test Leads

Connect the red test lead to the "INPUT" socket and the black test lead to the "COM" (Common) socket for most measurements.

6. Operating Modes and Functions

The HT93 features an auto-ranging function, simplifying operation. Press the Power On/Off button to turn on the device. Use the Function Switch Button (F/*) to cycle through different modes if needed.

6.1 Auto Range (Auto Testing)

When the instrument is set to AUTO mode, it automatically identifies and measures signals for voltage, resistance, and continuity, simplifying the measurement process.

6.2 AC/DC Voltage Measurement

The multimeter can measure both AC and DC voltages up to 600V. Connect the test leads to the circuit points you wish to measure. The device will automatically detect AC or DC voltage in Auto mode.

6.3 Non-Contact Voltage (NCV) Detection

In NCV mode, move the instrument's NCV sensing probe gradually closer to the area being tested. The device indicates the presence and strength of an electric field:

• Weak Electric Field: Green backlight lights up, screen displays "---L".
• Strong Electric Field: Red backlight lights up, rapid beeping sound, screen displays "---H".

6.4 Live Wire Detection

Select the LIVE mode. Connect the red test lead to the test point or insert it into the live wire socket. The device indicates live wire presence:

• Weak Signal: Green backlight illuminates, screen displays "---L".
• Strong Signal (Live Wire): Red backlight lights up, rapid beeping sound, screen displays "---H".

6.5 Resistance Measurement

The multimeter can measure the impedance of various resistive components and cables. Connect the test leads across the component to measure its resistance. The device will automatically select the appropriate range.

6.6 Continuity Testing

For resistance measurements less than 50Ω, the instrument will produce an audible beep, and the backlight will turn green, indicating continuity.

6.7 Data Hold / Two-color Backlight

Short press the Data Hold / Flashlight Switch Button to freeze the current reading on the display. Press it again to release. The display features a two-color backlight (green/red) for various indications.

6.8 LED Flashlight Illumination

Long press the Data Hold / Flashlight Switch Button to activate the LED flashlight. This feature is useful for illuminating contact points in dimly lit environments, making probe measurements more convenient.

6.9 Auto Shutdown

To conserve battery power, the instrument automatically powers off after approximately 15 minutes of no operation. This feature helps extend battery life.

6.10 Low Battery Indication

When the battery voltage drops below the normal operating level, a low battery icon will appear in the top right corner of the screen, reminding the user to replace the batteries.

8. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the multimeter. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, remove the batteries to prevent leakage. Store the device in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Battery Replacement: Replace batteries promptly when the low battery indicator appears to ensure accurate measurements.
• Probe Care: Inspect test leads for any damage before each use. Replace if insulation is cracked or wires are exposed.

9. Troubleshooting

Device does not power on:

Check if batteries are installed correctly and have sufficient charge. Replace batteries if necessary.

Inaccurate readings:

Ensure test leads are properly connected. Check battery level. Verify the correct measurement mode is selected (though Auto mode should handle most). Ensure the operating temperature is within the specified range.

"OL" displayed:

This indicates an over-range condition. The measured value exceeds the maximum range of the selected function. Try a higher range if available, or confirm the circuit is within the device's capabilities.

No continuity beep:

Ensure the resistance is below 50Ω for the continuity beep to activate. Check test leads for proper connection and integrity.

10. User Tips

• Always double-check your connections before taking a measurement, especially when dealing with live circuits.
• Utilize the flashlight feature in poorly lit areas to ensure proper probe placement and safety.
• The auto-ranging feature is convenient, but for critical measurements, understanding the expected range can help confirm accuracy.
• Keep the probe storage slot on the back of the instrument clear for easy access and to prevent damage to the probes.
