2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION 

The HT21 meter performs, in completely Autorange, the herewith measurements: 

 

 DC 

Voltage 

  AC sine voltage 

  Resistance and Continuity test 

 Capacitance 

 Frequency 

 Duty 

cycle 

 Diode 

test 

 

All selectable by means of a 5 position rotary selector (including OFF position). Also are 
available the 

HOLD

/

 key to hold the displayed value and enable/disable backlight 

feature, the 

Hz%

 key for manual selection of frequency and duty cycle measurements, the 

REL

 key for Relative measures and the 

MODE

 key for selection of different features which 

are common to the same position of rotary selector. The selected quantity is displayed with 
indication of measuring unit and active functions. The instrument disposes of an Auto 
Power Off function consisting in an automatic switching off 30 minutes after last selector 
rotation.

  

 

3.  PREPARATION FOR USE 

3.1. INITIAL 

This instrument was checked both mechanically and electrically prior to shipment. All
