PRECAUTIONS AND SAFETY MEASURES The instrument has been designed in compliance with directive IEC/EN61010-1 relevant to electronic measuring instruments. For your safety and in order to prevent damaging the instrument, please carefully follow the procedures described in this manual and read all notes preceded by the symbol with the utmost attention. Before and after carrying out the measurements, carefully observe the following instructions: Do not carry out any measurement in humid environments. Do not carry out any measurements in case gas, explosive materials or flammables are present, or in dusty environments. Avoid any contact with the circuit being measured if no measurements are being carried out. Avoid contact with exposed metal parts, with unused measuring probes, etc. Do not carry out any measurement in case you find anomalies in the instrument such as deformation, substance leaks, absence of display on the screen, etc. Never apply a voltage exceeding 30V between any pair of inputs or between an input and the grounding in order to prevent possible electrical shocks and any damage to the instrument. In this manual, and on the instrument, the following symbols are used: CAUTION: observe the instructions given in this manual; improper use could damage the instrument or its components. Double-insulated meter. Connection to earth 1.1. PRELIMINARY INSTRUCTIONS This instrument has been designed for use in environments of pollution degree 2. It can be used to measure DC VOLTAGE and DC CURRENT. We recommend following the normal safety rules devised to protect the user against dangerous currents and the instrument against incorrect use. Only the leads and the accessories supplied with the instrument guarantee compliance with the safety standards. They must be in good conditions and replaced with identical models, when necessary. Do not test circuits exceeding the specified voltage limits. Do not perform any test under environmental conditions exceeding the limits indicated in § 6.2.1. Check that the battery is correctly inserted. Before connecting the leads to the circuit being measured, check that the instrument has been correctly set in order to prevent any damage to the instrument. EN - 2 HT8051 1.2. DURING USE Please carefully read the following recommendations and instructions: CAUTION Failure to comply with the caution notes and/or instructions may damage the instrument and/or its components or be a source of danger for the operator. Before selecting a measuring function, disconnect the test leads from the circuit under test. When the instrument is connected to the circuit under test, do not touch any unused terminal. When connecting the cables, always connect the "COM" terminal first, then the "Positive" terminal. When disconnecting the cables, always disconnect the "Positive" terminal first, then the "COM" terminal. Do not apply a voltage exceeding 30V between the inputs of the instrument in order to prevent possible damage to the instrument. 1.3. AFTER USE When measurement is complete, press the key to switch off the instrument. If you expect not to use the instrument for a long period, remove the battery. 1.4. DEFINITION OF MEASUREMENT (OVERVOLTAGE) CATEGORY Standard "IEC/EN61010-1: Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use, Part 1: General requirements" defines what measurement category, commonly called overvoltage category, is. § 6.7.4: Measured circuits, reads: (OMISSIS) Circuits are divided into the following measurement categories: Measurement category IV is for measurements performed at the source of the lowvoltage installation. Examples are electricity meters and measurements on primary overcurrent protection devices and ripple control units. Measurement category III is for measurements performed on installations inside buildings. Examples are measurements on distribution boards, circuit breakers, wiring, including cables, bus-bars, junction boxes, switches, socket-outlets in the fixed installation, and equipment for industrial use and some other equipment, for example, stationary motors with permanent connection to fixed installation. Measurement category II is for measurements performed on circuits directly connected to the low-voltage installation Examples are measurements on household appliances, portable tools and similar equipment. Measurement category I is for measurements performed on circuits not directly connected to MAINS. Examples are measurements on circuits not derived from MAINS, and specially protected (internal) MAINS-derived circuits. In the latter case, transient stresses are variable; for that reason, the standard requires that the transient withstand capability of the equipment is made known to the user. EN - 3 HT8051 2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION The instrument HT8051 carries out the following measurements: Voltage measurement up to 10V DC Current measurement up to 24mA DC Voltage generation with amplitude up to 100mV DC and 10V DC Current generation with amplitude up to 24mA DC with display in mA and % Current and voltage generation with selectable ramp outputs Measuring output current of transducers (Loop) Simulation of an external transducer On the front part of the instrument there are some function keys (see § 4.2) for selecting the type of operation.
