Laserliner 083.010A ActiveFinder Contactless Voltage Tester
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. Modifications or changes to the device are not permitted, this will otherwise invalidate the approval and safety specifications.
-
In overvoltage category III (CAT III – 1000 V), the voltage between the test device and earth must not exceed 1000 V.
-
Do not expose the device to mechanical stress, extreme temperatures or significant vibration.
-
If you are working with voltages higher than 25 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 25 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.
-
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).
-
The measuring tools and accessories are not toys.
Keep out of reach of children.
Symbols
Warning: about hazardous electrical voltage: Unprotected live components
inside the device housing are capable of posing a risk of electric shock.
Protection class II: The test device has reinforced or double insulation.
Overvoltage category III: Equipment in fixed installations and for
applications where specific requirements with regard to the reliability and
availability of equipment have to be met, e.g. circuit-breakers in fixed
installations and devices used in industrial applications which are
permanently connected to the fixed installation.
Insertion of batteries
WARNING: The device is ready for use immediately once the batteries have been inserted. It does not have a separate ON/OFF switch and is therefore always active.
WARNING: 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 4).
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.
WARNING
- 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.
ZOOM function
- Press the ZOOM button to increase the sensitivity of the device (24 V AC to 1000 V AC). 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.
WARNING
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.
Battery lamp
To switch on the battery lamp, press and hold down button 4.
Information on maintenance and care
Clean all components with a damp cloth and do not use cleaning agents,
scouring agents and solvents. Store the device in a clean and dry place.
