• Before using the Voltage Tester, ensure
that the test lead and test Voltage Tester
are in perfect working condition. Look
out e.g. for broken cables or leaking
batteries (if applicable).
• The batteries shall be checked before
use and be replaced if necessary.
• Hold the Voltage Tester and accessories
by the designated grip areas only, the
display and indicating points must
not be covered. Do not touch the test
probes before and during test.
• The Voltage Tester may be used only
within the specified measurement
ranges and in low-voltage installations
up to 690V.
• The test Voltage Tester may be used only
in the measuring circuit category 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).
• The functioning of the Voltage Tester
shall be checked shortly before and after
a test. If indication of one or more steps
fails, or no functioning is indicated, the
Voltage Tester shall no longer be used.
• The Voltage Tester complies with
protection class IP 64 (splash-proof and
dust-tight) and therefore can also be
used under wet conditions.
• The Voltage Tester operates correctly
only within a temperature range of
-15°C to +55°C at relative air humidity
less than 95% (without condensation).
• If the safety of the user cannot be
guaranteed, the Voltage Tester must
be switched off 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 unfavourable
conditions
- damaged during transport
- leaking batteries
• For all work, observe the accident
prevention regulations of the
professional trade association for
electrical installations and equipment.
• Unauthorized persons shall not assemble
the Voltage Tester and supplementary
equipment. The Voltage Tester may
be serviced by an authorized service
technician only.
• Operational safety is no longer
guaranteed if the Voltage Tester is
modified or altered.
Before Using the Tester
W
Before conducting any test, follow the
safety instructions. Before using the Voltage
Tester, always perform a function test.
The test probe covers
removed before the tests. To do this, pull
them forward off the test probes.
