The unit complies with measurement category CAT II/300 V to earth.
Description of the measurement categories
CAT I for measurements on circuits that have no direct connection to the mains, e.g. battery-powered devices.
CAT II for measurements on circuits that have a direct connection to the low-voltage mains by means of a plug, e.g. household appliances, portable electrical appliances and similar.
CAT III for measurements within the building installation, i.e. distribution boards, circuit breakers, wiring, including cables, busbars, junction boxes, switches, sockets in the fixed installation as well as equipment for industrial use and other equipment, for example stationary motors permanently connected to the mains.
CAT IV for measurements at the source of the low-voltage installation, e.g. meters or ammeters.

Transport and storage

• Please keep the original packaging for later shipment, e.g. for calibration.
• Transport damage due to inadequate packaging is excluded from the warranty.
• The unit must be stored in a dry place in a closed room.
• If the unit has been transported or stored at extreme temperatures, it requires at least 2 hours of acclimatisation to room temperature before being switched on.

Safety instructions

The socket tester has been built and tested in accordance with the current safety regulations for electrical measuring, control and laboratory equipment as per IEC/ EN 61010-1 and has left the factory in safe and perfect condition.

• The socket tester is only a testing device and must not be used for measurements according to the CH installation standard (NIN).
• The socket tester does not test for absence of voltage.
• To avoid electric shocks, the applicable safety and VDE regulations must be observed when working with voltages above 120 V (60 V) DC or 50 V (25 V)
• RMS AC. The values in brackets apply to restricted voltage ranges (for example in the medical or agricultural sector).
• Before use, make sure that the device is functioning properly. The tester may only be used within the specified measuring ranges.
• If the safety of the user is no longer guaranteed, the unit must be taken out of service and protected from further use.

Safety is no longer guaranteed if the unit

• has obvious damage.
• no longer performs the desired measurements.
• has been stored for too long under unfavourable conditions.
• has been subjected to mechanical stress during transport.
• has been contaminated by leaking batteries.
• has been altered in any way and no longer corresponds to its original condition.
• In the above cases, the unit must no longer be used!
• The unit may only be opened by trained personnel. Before opening, make sure that the unit has been disconnected from all measuring circuits.
• The accident prevention regulations laid down by the professional associations for electrical systems and equipment must be strictly observed during all tasks.
• To ensure correct operation and long life, do not leave the instrument in direct sunlight where it may heat up.
