Safety notes
WARNING
An additional source of danger is posed my mechanical parts which can cause
severe personal injury. Objects can also be damaged (e.g., the instrument
itself can be damaged).
WARNING
An electric shock can result in death or severe injury. It can also lead to
property damage and damage to this instrument.
WARNING
Never point the laser beam directly or indirectly (on reflective surfaces)
towards the eyes. Laser radiation can cause irreparable damage to the eyes.
You must first deactivate the laser beam when measuring close to people.
General safety notes
WARNING
Unauthorized changes or modifications of the instrument are forbidden – such
changes put the approval (CE) and safety of the instrument at risk. In order
to operate the instrument safely, you must always observe the safety
instructions, warnings, and the information in the “Proper and Intended Use”
Chapter.
WARNING
Please observe the following information before using the instrument:
- Do not operate the instrument in the proximity of electrical welders, induction heaters, and other electromagnetic fields.
- After an abrupt temperature fluctuation, the instrument should be allowed to adjust to the new temperature for about 30 minutes before using it. This helps to stabilize the IR sensor.
- Do not expose the instrument to high temperatures for a long period of time.
- Avoid dusty and humid surroundings.
- Measurement instruments and their accessories are not toys. Children should never be allowed access to them!
- In industrial institutions, you must follow the accident prevention regulations for electrical facilities and equipment, as established by your employer’s liability insurance organization.
Please observe the following five safety rules:
- Disconnect.
- Ensure that the instrument cannot be turned back on again.
- Ensure isolation from the main supply voltage (check that there is no voltage on both poles).
- Earth and short-circuit.
- Cover neighboring parts that are under life electrical load.
Proper and intended use
This instrument is intended for use in applications described in the operation
manual only. Any other usage is considered improper and non-approved usage and
can result in accidents or the destruction of the instrument. Any misuse will
result in the expiry of all guarantee and warranty claims on the part of the
operator against the manufacturer.
Remove the batteries during longer periods of inactivity in order to avoid
damaging the instrument.
We assume no liability for damages to property or personal injury caused by
improper handling or failure to observe safety instructions. Any warranty
claim expires in such cases. An exclamation mark in a triangle indicates
safety notices in the operating instructions. Read the instructions completely
before beginning the initial commissioning. This instrument is CE approved and
thus fulfills the required guidelines.

Disposal
For Testboy customers: Purchasing our product gives you the opportunity to
return the instrument to collection points for waste electrical equipment at
the end of its lifespan.
**** The EU Directive 2002/96/EC (WEEE) regulates the return and recycling of
waste electrical and electronics equipment. As of 13/08/2005, manufacturers of
electrical and electronic equipment are obliged to take back and recycle any
electrical devices sold after this date for no charge. After that date,
electrical devices must not be disposed of through the “normal” waste disposal
channels. Electrical devices must be disposed of and recycled separately. All
devices that fall under this directive must feature this logo.
Five year warranty
Testboy instruments are subject to strict quality control standards. The
instrument is covered by a warranty for a period of five years against
malfunctions during the course of your daily work (valid only with invoice).

Operation
Thank you for choosing a Testavit® 1A. Schuki ®
Power socket tester with FI/RCD test (30 mA).
Power socket test
The Testavit® Schuki® 1A is able to determine the right or wrong connection of
the wires in power sockets and shows the results with an optical indication.
Please find the failure indication in the below table.
With using the „FI/RCD-Test“ button (less than 3 seconds) you are able to
trigger the residual current device (30 mA at 230V AC).
In order to obtain a correct indication and to carry out the FI/RCD test, the
right phase must be applied.
WARNING
The test device is not suitable for dual-conductor mains (classic zeroing).
Interchanging the neutral conductor and protective conductor (earth) is not
recognized by the device!
Check the voltage tester before use against a known voltage supply (e.g. a
power socket) to ensure that it is working correctly.

⊗ LED off; ● LED on
If the tester indicates a fault condition in the wiring under test, always
investigate the wiring or have the wiring investigated by a competent person.
Do not contact accross two phases of a three-phase supply.
The tester will not correctly test circuits using an isolation transformer.
Before testing, disconnect any loads from the circuits of all socket outlets
in the same distribution board as possible with the socket under test. Some
loads connected may lead to measuring errors.
Check the RCD trigger function in a known correctly circuit with RCD before
used.
Use caution with voltages above 30 V ac as a shock hazard may exist.
FOR USE BY COMPETENT PERSONS
Anyone using this instrument should be knowledgeable and trained about the
risks involved with measuring voltage, especially in an industrial setting,
and the importance of taking safety precautions and of testing the instrument
before and after using it to ensure that it is in good working condition.
Definition of measurement categories:
Measurement category II:
Measurement category II is applicable to testing and measuring circuits
connected directly to utilization points (socket outlets and similar points)
of the low-voltage mains installation. Typical short-circuit current is <
10kA.
Measurement category III:
Measurement category III is applicable to testing and measuring circuits
connected to the distribution part of the building’s low-voltage mains
installation. Typical short-circuit current is < 50kA.
Measurement category IV:
Measurement category IV is applicable to test and measure circuits connected
at the source of the building’s low-voltage mains installation. Typical short-
circuit current is >> 50kA.
Read the instruction before use. If the equipment is used in a manner not
specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be
impaired.
All parts of the device and its accessories are not allowed to be changed or
replaced, other than authorized by the manufacturer or his agent.
For cleaning the unit, use a dry cloth.
