  • Page 4 1. Safety 1.1 International Safety Symbols Warning of a potential danger, comply with instruction manual. Caution! Dangerous voltage. Danger of electrical shock. Double insulation. Important information. Consult the instruction sheet Hazardous Voltage. Suitable for live working. This product complies with the WEEE Directive (2012/19/EU) Conforms to European Union Directives.
  • Page 5 1. Safety 1.3 Warnings In order to avoid electrical shock, the valid safety and VDE regulations regarding excessive contact voltages must receive utmost attention, when working with voltages exceeding 120V (60V) DC or 50V (25V) rms AC. The values in brackets are valid for limited ranges (as for example medicine and agriculture).

    5. Operation 5.1 Preparing the test • Prior to every test, please ensure that the instrument is in perfect condition: • For example, keep an eye out for a broken housing or leaking batteries. • Always carry out a function test before using the voltage tester, see below.
  • Page 11: Single-Pole Phase Test

    5. Operation 5.3 Single-pole phase Test • The single-pole phase test is only possible when batteries are installed and in good condition. • The single-polephase test starts at an AC voltage of approx.100V (pole>100V AC). • When using single-pole phase tests to determine external conductors the display function may be impaired under certain conditions (e.g.
  • Page 12 5. Operation 5.6 Resistance Test • The Tester measures low ohm resistance between 1Ω and 1999Ω at a resolution of 10. To do a resistance test: • Do a Voltage test to make sure the UUT (unit under test) is not live. •...
  • Page 13 5. Operation "L" signifies that the supposed phase L1 is the actual phase L2 and the supposed phase L2 is the actual phase L1. When re-testing with exchanged test probes the opposite symbol has to be illuminated. 5.8 Measurement Point Illumination Voltage testers are equipped with a measurement point illumination feature.
  • Page 14 5. Operation 5.11 Battery Replacement • If no signal sound is audible when short-circuiting the test probes or display battery symbols on the screen, proceed with the battery replacement. • Completely disconnect voltage tester from the measurement circuit. • Remove discharged screw , battery cover and batteries. •...
