  • 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 Rotary Field Indication • The voltage testers are equipped with a double-pole rotary field indicator. • The rotary phase indication is always active. The symbols "R"or " I.:' are always displayed. However, the rotary direction can only be determined within a three-phase system.
  • Page 13 5. Operation 5.7 Measurement Point Illumination Voltage testers are equipped with a measurement point illumination feature. Thus, working under bad lighting conditions (e.g. division switch cabinets) is made easier. Press button for measurement point illumination (15) on instrument rear. 5.8 Maintenance When using voltage testers in compliance with the instruction manual, no particular maintenance is required.
