OPERATING THE TESTER

Safety Instructions

The voltage testers has been designated and tested in accordance
with the safety regulations for voltage testers when leaving the
factory. To prevent injuries and damages to the user and the
voltage tester, follow the safety instructions in this manual.
Read Before Using:
W
Danger of electric shock.
• Read all safety information before you use the Product.
Carefully read all instructions.
• Examine the case before you use the Product. Look for cracks
or missing plastic. Do not use the Product if it is damaged.
• Do not use the Product if it operates incorrectly.
• Tester must be operated by trained users only.
• To avoid an electric shock, observe the precautions when
working with voltages exceeding 120 V (60 V) DC or 50 V
(25 V) r.m.s. AC. In accordance with general safety
regulations these values represent the maximum allowed
limits for contact voltages (values in brackets refer to
limited ranges, e.g. in medical areas).
• The acoustic indication ≥50 V AC and ≥120 V DC is only to
warn the user, not for measuring.
• Before using the voltage tester at locations with a high
background noise level, it should be determined whether
the audio signal is perceptible.
• The voltage tester shall not be used with the battery
compartment open.
• Before using the voltage tester, ensure that the test lead
and voltage tester are in perfect working condition. Look
out for broken cables or leaking batteries (if applicable).
• The batteries shall be checked before use and replaced
if necessary.
• Hold the voltage tester and accessories by the designated
grip areas and probe handle areas only, the LCD screen
and LED indicator must not be covered. Do not touch the
test probes in any case before and during test.
• The voltage tester may be used only within the specified
measurement ranges and in low-voltage installations up to
1000V AC and 1500V DC.
• The voltage tester may be used only in the overvoltage
category for which it has been designed for!
• Before and after use, always check that the voltage tester
is in perfect working condition (e.g. check on a known
voltage source or on a proving unit).
• The functioning of the voltage tester shall be checked
shortly before and after a test. If indication of one or more
function fails, or not functioning at all is indicated, the
voltage tester must be taken out of operation immediately.
• The voltage tester complies with protection degree IP 64
(splash-proof and dust-tight) and therefore can also be
used under humid conditions.
• It is not permitted to use the tester during rain or precipitation.
• Never use the tester in explosive environment.
• The voltage tester operates correctly only within a
temperature range of -15°C to +55°C at relative air
humidity less than 85% (without condensation).
• If the safety of the user cannot be guaranteed, the voltage
tester must be taken out of operation and secured against
unintentional use.
• Safety is no longer guaranteed in the following cases:
- Obvious damage
- If the voltage tester can no longer perform the
required measurements/tests
- Stored for too long in unfavorable conditions
- Damaged during transport
- Leaking batteries
