5. Operating Instructions
This section provides guidance on how to operate your HT5910 tester for various measurements.
5.1. RCD Testing
To test Residual Current Devices (RCDs):
- Turn the function knob to the RCD setting.
- Use the 'SET' button to select the desired testing current (10mA, 30mA, 100mA, 300mA, or 500mA).
- Select the desired power level (50%, 100%, or 500%) and phase angle (0 or 180 degrees).
- Connect the test leads to the circuit's appropriate points.
- Press the 'MEASURE' button to initiate the test. The device will display the trip current and time.
5.2. Loop & Line Resistance Measurement
To measure loop and line resistance:
- Turn the function knob to the LOOP setting.
- Ensure the L-N-E connection is correct before proceeding.
- Connect the test leads to the circuit.
- Press the 'MEASURE' button. The device will display the resistance value.

6. Maintenance
Proper care and maintenance will ensure the longevity and accuracy of your HT5910 tester.
- Cleaning: Wipe the device with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Storage: Store the tester in its provided storage bag in a cool, dry place when not in use.
- Battery Replacement: Replace batteries promptly when the low battery indicator appears on the display to ensure continuous operation and prevent data loss. Remove batteries if the device will not be used for an extended period.
- Test Leads: Inspect test leads and alligator clips regularly for any signs of wear or damage. Replace them if necessary to maintain safety and measurement integrity.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your HT5910 tester, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Device does not power on: Check battery installation and ensure batteries are not depleted. Replace if necessary.
- Inaccurate readings: Verify test lead connections are secure. Ensure the correct measurement function is selected. Check for proper L-N-E connection for loop/RCD tests.
- Display is dim or blank: The low battery indicator may be active. Replace batteries.
- No data transfer to PC: Ensure the USB cable is properly connected to both the tester and the PC. Verify that the necessary software from the CD-ROM is installed on your computer.
