Note : Read this manual carefully before use and make this manual available to subsequent users.

Safety instructions

This device complies with EU Directives 2014/30 / EU (Electromagnetic Compatibility) and 2014/35 / EU (Low Voltage) as defined in Addendum 2014/32 / EU (CE Mark).
Overvoltage category III 600V; Pollution degree 2.

•  Do not expect maximum input values.
•  Check the device before use and do not use the device if it is damaged.
•  If there are warning symbols displayed, immediately disconnect the device from the mains and check the circuit.
•  The type of test can trigger residual current protection mechanisms. At the end of the test, the tested circuit of the installation can therefore be no longer supplied with power. Accordingly, before using the device, make sure that the power failure does not cause damage to persons or equipment (medical devices, computers, industrial equipment, etc.).
•  The tester was not designed to be a voltage tester (No Voltage Tester, NVT). Therefore, only use a device that has been developed for this purpose.
•  This device is equipped with batteries. Observe the national disposal regulations at the end of this manual.
•  Always carry out measurements on electrical systems in compliance with all safety regulations and local legislation.
•  Always observe the CAT overvoltage category of your meter and use it only in the appropriate systems to prevent accidents and damage.
•  If a meter shows abnormal behavior, do not take further measurements and send the meter to the manufacturer for inspection.
•  Service only by qualified personnel – only the manufacturer may carry out repairs on this device.
•  Never make technical changes to a meter.
•  Observe all safety rules when dealing with electrical systems and appliances.
•  Measuring instruments shouldn’t be used by children

Operating Instruction

• Link the test line
• Check the wires state:
• Before pushing the “Test” button, certificate the 3 led status

If the indicating light status is not like the above, do not test and check the wires again.
Voltage test:
When the tester is linked to the power, LCD will update the voltage (P-E) per second. If the voltage is unusual or not the expected value, don’t test! The tester should only be used in AC230v (50Hz) systems.

Loop test:
Turn the tester to 20,200 or 2000Ωrange. Push the test button, LCD will display the value and unit. The tester sends a BZ when the test is finished.
To get better values turn the tester to the lowest range as possible. If LCD flashes “ ” , disconnect the tester and switch it off, let the tester cool down.

Prospective short current test:
Turn the tester to 200A, 2000Aor 20kA range. Push the test button, LCD will display the value and unit. The tester sends BZ out when the test is finished.
To get better values set the tester to the lowest range as possible. If LCD flashes “ ”, disconnect the tester and switch it off, let the tester cool down.

Measure loop impedance and prospective short current

If there is an RCD or fuse in the circuit,it should test loop impedance. According to IEC 60364, every loop should meet the formula:

• Ra: loop impedance
• 50: max of touch voltage
• Ia: the current than can make the protection device break down the circuit in 5 seconds. When the protection device is RCD, Ia is rated residual current I∆n.
• According to IEC 60364, every loop should meet the formula: When the protection device is Fuse, Uо=230v, Ia, and Zsmax:
• The prospective short current must be bigger than Ia.

Features

Lines test: 3 LED indicates lines state. When reversed, the third LED light.
Overheat protection: When the temperature of the resister is too high, the tester will switch off and lock.LCD will display “Temperature is High” and this symbol will flash“ ”
Overload protect: When the volt of P-E is up to 250v, the tester will stop testing to protect the tester and the LCD will flash “250v”.

• the operating voltage.
• Test mode: When the key “Test” is pressed, a tester will display the result for 5 sec. then display the voltage.
• Operating Temperature:  0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F) and Humidity below 80% RH
• Storage Temperature: -10°C to 60°C (14°F to 140°F) and Humidity below 70% RH
• Power source: 6 x 1.5V Size “AA” battery or Equivalent (DC9V)
• Dimensions: 200(L) x 92(W) x 50(H) mm
• Weight: Approx. 700g includes battery

Battery Replacement

1. When the low battery symbol ” ” appears on the LCD,  the six 1.5V ‘AA’ batteries must be replaced.
2.  Turn the device off and remove the test leads.
3.  Unsnap the tilt stand from the rear of the tester.
4.  Remove the four Phillips head screws holding the battery cover.
5.  Remove the battery compartment cover.
6. Replace the batteries observing polarity.
7.  Affix the rear cover and secure the screws.
8.  Reattach the tilt stand.

Notification about the Battery Regulation

The delivery of many devices includes batteries, which for example serve to operate the remote control. There also could be batteries or accumulators built into the device itself. In connection with the sale of these batteries or accumulators, we are obliged under the Battery Regulations to notify our customers of the following: Please dispose of old batteries at a council collection point or return them to a local shop at no cost. The disposal in domestic refuse is strictly forbidden according to the Battery Regulations. You can return used batteries obtained from us at no charge at the address on the last side in this manual or by posting with sufficient stamps. Contaminated batteries shall be marked with a symbol consisting of a crossed- out refuse bin and the chemical symbol (Cd, Hg or Pb) of the heavy metal which is responsible for the classification as pollutant:

1.  “Cd” means cadmium.
2.  “Hg” means mercury.
3.  “Pb” stands for lead.
