Safety Instructions - LaserLiner ActiveFinder Bedienungsanleitung

Completely read through the operating instructions, the „Warranty
!
and Additional Information" booklet as well as the latest information
under the internet link at the end of these instructions. Follow the
instructions they contain. This document must be kept in a safe place
and passed on together with the device.
Function/Application
Contactless test device for localising electrical voltage (230 V AC) in cables,
sockets, lampholders and fuses. Visual and acoustic signals indicate whether
a voltage is present.

Safety instructions

– The device must only be used in accordance with its intended purpose
and within the scope of the specifications.
– The measuring tools and accessories are not toys. Keep out of reach of children.
– Modifications or changes to the device are not permitted, this will otherwise
invalidate the approval and safety specifications.
– Do not expose the device to mechanical stress, extreme temperatures or
significant vibration.
– If you are working with voltages higher than 24 V/AC / 60 V/DC, exercise
extreme caution. Touching the electrical conductors at such voltages poses
a risk of life-threatening electric shocks.
– If the device comes into contact with moisture or other conductive-residue,
work must not be carried out under voltage. At and above voltages
of 24 V/AC / 60 V/DC, the presence of moisture creates the risk of
life-threatening electric shocks.
– Clean and dry the device before use.
– When using the device outdoors, make sure that the weather conditions are
appropriate and/or that suitable protection measures are taken.
– In overvoltage category III (CAT III - 1000 V), the voltage between the
test device and earth must not exceed 1000 V.
– Before taking any measurements, make sure that both the area to
be tested (e.g. a line), the test device and the accessories used
(e.g. connection cable) are in proper working order. Test the device
by connecting it to known voltage sources (e.g. a 230 V socket in the
case of AC testing).
– The device must no longer be used if one or more of its functions fail
or the battery charge is weak.
– Observe the safety precautions of local and national authorities relating
to the correct use of the device and any prescribed safety equipment
(e.g. electrician's safety gloves).
– Do not work alone in the vicinity of hazardous electrical installations
and only under the guidance of a qualified electrician.
– The measuring device must not be used as a substitute for a two-pole zero
potential test.
– 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), measure-
ment 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.
