Introduction / Product Package
The voltage testers are voltage testers for universal applications.
The voltage testers are constructed in accordance with the latest safety
standards and guarantee safe and reliable measurements and testings.
The voltage testers represent a valuable support for all testing and
measurement in handicraft and industrial applications.
The voltage tester are characterized by the following features:
- DC and AC Voltage Tests up to 690 V Phase-Phase
- Automatic AC/DC detection
- Bright LED indication
- Ergonomic and robust housing
- Probe-tip protection
- Without batteries
- Measurement Category CAT III / 690V
- Constructed and produced in compliance with DIN EN 61243-3, DIN VDE 0682, part 401, lEC 61010
- After unpacking, check that the instrument is undamaged. The
product package comprises:
- 1 pc. Voltage Tester
- 1 pc. Instruction Manual
Transport and storage
Please keep the original packaging for later transport, e.g. for calibration.
Any transport damage due to faulty packaging will be excluded from warranty
claims.
Instruments must be stored in dry and closed areas. In the case of an
instrument being transported in extreme temperatures, a recovery time of a
minimum 2 hours is required prior to instrument operation.
Safety measures
The testers have been constructed and tested in accordance with the safety
regulations for voltage testers and have left the factory in a safe and
perfect condition.
The operating instructions contain information and Ref- erences required for
safe operation and use of the tester. Before using the tester, read the
operating instructions carefully and follow them in all respects.
Safety pieces of advice
- Depending on the internal impedance of the voltage tester there will be a different capability of indicating the presence or absence of operating voltage in case of the presence of interference voltage.
- A voltage tester of relatively low internal impedance, compared to the reference value of 100 k2, will not indicate all interference voltages having an original voltage value above the ELV level. When in contact with the parts to be tested, the voltage tester may discharge temporarily the interference voltage to a level below the ELV, but it will be back to the original value when the voltage tester is removed.
Product package
- When the indication “voltage present” does not appear, it is highly recommended to install earthing equipment before work.
- A voltage tester of relatively high internal impedance, compared to the reference value of 100 kS, may not permit to clearly indicate the absence of operating voltage in case of the presence of interference voltage.
- When the indication “voltage present” appears on a part that is expected to be disconnected of the installation, it is highly recommended to confirm by another means (e.g. use of an adequate voltage tester, visual check of the dis-connecting point of the electric circuit, etc.) that there is no operating voltage on the part to be tested and to conclude that the voltage indicated by the voltage tester is an inter- reference voltage.
- A voltage tester declaring two values of internal impedance has passed a performance test of managing interference voltages and is (within technical limits) able to distinguish operating voltage from interference voltage and has a means to directly or indirectly indicate which type of voltage is present.
The danger of electric shock and other dangers
- To avoid an electric shock, observe the precautions when working with voltages exceeding 120 V (60 V) DC or 50 V (25 V) eff AC. In accordance with DIN VDE these values represent the threshold contact voltages (values in brackets refer to limited ranges, e.g. in agricultural areas.
- The tester must not be used with the battery compartment open
- Before using the tester, ensure that the test lead and device are in perfect working order. Look out e.g. for broken cables or leaking batteries.
- Hold the tester and accessories by the designated grip areas only, the display elements must not be covered. Never touch the test probes.
- The tester may be used only within the specified measurement ranges and in low-voltage installations up to 690 V.
- The tester may be used only in the measuring circuit category it has been designed for.
- Before and after use, always check that the tester is in perfect working order (e.g. on a known voltage source).
- The tester must no longer be used if one or more functions fail or if no functionality is indicated.
- It is not permitted to use the tester during rain or precipitation.
- A perfect display is guaranteed only within a temperature range of -15°C to + 55°C at a relative air humidity less than 85%.
- If the safety of the user cannot be guaranteed, the tester must be switched off and secured against unintentional use.
Intended use / Tester information
Safety is no longer guaranteed e.g. in the following cases:
- obvious damage
- broken housing, cracks in housing
- if the tester can no longer perform the required measurements/tests
- stored for too long in unfavorable conditions
- damaged during transport leaking batteries
- The tester complies with all EMC regulations. Nevertheless, it can happen in rare cases that electric devices are disturbed by the electrical field of the tester or the tester is disturbed by electrical devices.
- Never use the tester in an explosive environment
- The tester must be operated by trained users only
- Operational safety is no longer guaranteed if the tester is modified or altered. . The tester may be opened by an authorized service technician only.
Intended use
The tester may be used only under the conditions and for the purposes for which it was designed. Therefore, observe in particular the safety instructions, the technical data including environmental conditions.

Maintenance / Cleaning
Carrying out measurements
Preparation and safety
For any tests the safety references have to be respected- ed as mentioned in section 2.0. Prior to any usage, a functional test has to be carried out.
Test leads and test probes may only be touched at han- dle surfaces provided. Absolutely avoid the direct contact of the test probes.
Function test / Self-test
- Test the voltage tester on a known source. Voltage testers may no longer be used if one or several functions fail or if no functional reliability can be detected.
Voltage test
- Connect both test probes with UUT.
- As from a voltage of > 12V the voltage tester switches on automatically.
- The voltage is displayed via LEDs (3).
- For AC voltages the + and the – LED are illuminated (4).
- For DC voltages the + or the – LED are illuminated (4).
- The instrument is equipped with an LED row comprising: 12, 24, 50, 120, 230, 400, and 690V.
- For DC voltage, the polarity of the voltage displayed refers to the instrument test probe (+).
Maintenance
When using the instrument in compliance with the instruction manual, no special maintenance is required. Should operational problems occur during daily use, our consulting service will be at your disposal, free of charge.
If functional errors occur after the expiration of the warranty, our after- sales service will repair your instrument without delay.
Cleaning
If the instrument is dirty after daily usage, it is advised to clean it by using a humid cloth and a mild household detergent. Prior to cleaning, ensure that the instrument is disconnected from external voltage supply and any other instruments connected. Never use acid detergents or dissolvants for cleaning. After cleaning, do not use the voltage tester for a period of approx. 2h.
