Laserliner AC-Check Non Contact Voltage Tester CAT III 1000 V LED Instruction Manual

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

Non-contact voltage tester with adjustable sensitivity for localising electrical voltage in cables, sockets, lamp holders 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.
• Exercise extreme caution when working with voltages higher than 24 V/AC rms or 60 V/DC. 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 rms / 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.

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.

Safety instructions

Using artificial, optical emission (OStrV)

LED outlet

• The device works with LEDs of risk group RG 0 (exempt, no risk) in accordance with the latest versions of applicable standards relating to photobiological safety (EN 62471:2008-09ff / IEC/TR 62471:2006-07ff).
• Radiation power: Peak wavelength equals 456 nm. Mean radiance is below the limit values of risk group RG 0.
• When used for the intended purpose and under reasonably foreseeable conditions, the accessible radiation of the LEDs is safe for the human eye and skin.
• Temporary, irritating optical effects (e.g. dazzling, flash blindness, afterimages, colour vision impairment) cannot be completely ruled out, especially under low ambient light conditions.
• Do not intentionally look directly into the radiation source for longer periods of time.
• No specific measures are required to ensure the limit values of risk group RG 0 are maintained.

Safety instructions

Dealing with electromagnetic radiation

• The measuring device complies with electromagnetic compatibility regulations and limit values in accordance with EMC-Directive 2014/30/EU.
• Local operating restrictions ­ for example, in hospitals, aircraft, petrol stations or in the vicinity of people with pacemakers ­ may apply. Electronic devices can potentially cause hazards or interference or be subject to hazards or interference.

1 Inserting batteries
Open the battery compartment and insert batteries according to the symbols. Be sure to pay attention to polarity.

Before using the device, you should always test it on a main circuit you know to be operational within the specified voltage range. To avoid inaccurate measurements, check the device batteries prior to use by switching on the built-in battery lamp (see 5).

2 ON / OFF

3 Localising electrical voltages

Position the detector tip in the area to be tested (e.g. cable, socket. etc.).

If voltage is present, the detector tip lights up and a signal sounds.

The lines under current can be determined by adjusting the sensitivity.

! For safety, check all three phase conductors (L1, L2, L3) for the presence of voltage!

! If the acoustic signal is weak or the battery lamp is not as bright as it should be, replace the batteries.

4 Adjustment of sensitivity

By turning the wheel (2), the sensitivity of the device (5 … 1000 VAC) can be adjusted. This enables voltage fields to be located at significant distance by moving the device over the area to be tested.

If voltage is present, the detector tip lights up and a signal sounds.

Please be aware that even if a visual signal is not displayed, voltage may still be present. Differences in the design of the connection socket or the nature of the insulation (thickness and type) can affect functionality. Voltage cannot be detected behind panels and metal covers.

5 Battery lamp
To switch on the battery lamp, press and hold down button 4. The light switches itself off automatically as soon as the button is released.

Information on maintenance and care

Clean all components with a damp cloth and do not use cleaning agents, scouring agents and solvents. Remove the battery(ies) before storing for longer periods. Store the device in a clean and dry place.
