• The device measures the presence of electrostatic fields of sufficient strength.
If the field strength is too low voltage may still be applied although no
warning signal is given. The following list of factors that influence the field
strength does not claim to be complete: shielding, cable insulation (type,
thickness), measurement distance, insulation between user and earth, special
socket designs, condition of tester and of batteries.
Additional information on use
Observe the technical safety regulations for working on electrical systems,
especially: 1. Safely isolating from power supply, 2. Securing to prevent system
being switched on again, 3. Checking zero potential, two-pole, 4. Earthing and
short-circuiting, 5. Securing and covering adjacent live components.
Safety instructions
Dealing with electromagnetic interference
• The measuring device complies with safety and electromagnetic compatibility
regulations and limits in accordance with the Low Voltage Directive 2
014/35/EU and electromagnetic compatibility regulations in accordance
with the EMC Directive 2014/30/EU.
• Local operating restrictions – for example, in hospitals, aircraft, petrol
stations or in the vicinity of people with pacemakers – may apply.
Electronic devices can potentially cause hazards or interference or
be subject to hazards or interference.
