Intended Use - Gossen MetraWatt PROFISAFE 690B Bedienungsanleitung

1. Application
The PROFISAFE 690B is a two-pole voltage tester. It is
maintenance-free and complies with DIN EN 61243-3
(VDE 0682 part 401). It is provided with a continu-
ity and polarity tester, phase and phase sequence
indicator. With this device you can determine the
existence and the strength of alternating and direct
voltages within a range of 12 V to 690 V at frequencies
up to 500 Hz.
For voltage tests the device does not need an additio-
nal energy source.
Voltage values are indicated by the 7-step bargraph
on the display.
With the integrated continuity tester you can also
measure resistances up to 1000 kΩ.
The Li-accu recharges during voltage tests and serves
as energy source for continuity, phase and phase
sequence tests.
Due to its high protection category (IP 65) the PROFI-
SAFE 690B may even be used in rain.

1.1 Intended use

This device is intended for use in applications as
described in the operating instructions only. Thus,
it is imperative to observe the notes on safety and
the technical data in conjunction with the ambient
conditions.
Any other form of usage is not permitted and can
lead to accidents or destruction of the unit.
Any misuse will result in the expiry of all guarantee
and warrantly claims.
2. Safety Precautions
The voltage tester PROFISAFE 690B has been
approved by VDE test authorities for the application
of VDE GS marking.
When used for its intended purpose, the safety of
the operator, as well as that of the instrument, is
assured.
In order to maintain flawless technical safety con-
ditions, and to assure safe use, it is imperative that
you read these operating instructions thoroughly
and carefully before placing your instruments
into service, and that you follow all instructions
contained therein.
Observe the following safety precautions:
 The voltages indicated on the PROFISAFE 690B
are rated voltages. The voltage tester may only be
used in systems working with those rated voltage
ranges.
 Faultless indication of display values is only
guaranteed between -15° and +45°C.
 Hold the instrument by the handles only, to
avoid covering the display and not touching the
test electrodes before and during tests.
 The PROFISAFE 690B has a maximum allowable
on-time of 30 seconds.
