Operating Instructions PROFITEST H+E BASE Initial Start-Up General Warning! Danger! The device should be checked to assure that it’s in good condition before initial start-up. The device may only be used by trained personnel. Inserting the Batteries The device can be operated with two rechargeable or regular 9 V block batteries. The two battery compartments (3) on the right side of the device are opened in order to insert the batteries.
Operating Instructions PROFITEST H+E BASE Connecting a Test Consumer The diagnostics unit is equipped with an earthing contact socket (6) to which a test consumer can be connected. Any desired test consumer (230 V, max. 13 A) can be connected in order to test a charging point under load.
