Read the operating instructions and the enclosed brochure „Guarantee and additional notices“ completely. Follow the instructions they contain. Safely keep these documents for future reference.

Function/Application

Voltage and continuity tester for automatic measurement of AC (alternating current) and DC (direct current) voltages. The device can be used to perform a single-phase test and a rotating field test while also indicating the phase direction. The information is indicated by means of an LED display and an acoustic signal.

Safety instructions

• The device must only be used in aCCordance with its intended purpose and within the scope of the specifications.
• Before every measurement make sure that the area to be checked (e.g. line) and the tester are in perfect operating condition. Test the device by connecting it to known voltage sources (e.g. a 230 V socket in the case of AC testing or a car battery in the case of DC testing). Stop using the device if one or a number of its functions fails.
• If you are working wvith 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  hocks. Take particular care if the 50V warning LED is on.
•  Do not use the device in environments in which there areConductive partides or where the occurrence of mOIsture (in the form of condensation, for example) can create transient conductivity.
• 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.
• lf you are taking measurements in the hazardous vicinity of electrical installations, do not work alone and seek guidance
• Isolate the device from all current sources before opening the battery compartment cover.
• .The device must not be connected to voltages for longer than 30 seconds.
• Hold the device by the grip sections only. Do not touch the test prods during measurement.
• If possible, do not work alone.
• Use the device only in the correct overvoltage category (without protective cover CAT II 1000 V; with protective cover CAT II 1000 V+ CAT V 600 V

Symbols

1. Hazardous electrical voltage warning: Unprotected live components inside the device housing may pose a risk of electric shock.
2. Danger area warning
3. Protection class ll: The test device has reinforced or double insulation.
4. Overvoltage category ll: Single-phase consumers that are connected to standard sockets, e.g. household appliances, portable tools.
5. Overvoltage category ll: 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.
6. Overvoltage category IV: Devices such as electricity meters, overcurrent circuit breakers and ripple-control units, which are intended for use at or near the infeed into the electrical installation of buildings, and specifically from the main distribution to the supply system.

Insertion of batteries

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.As trom a measuring voltage of 50 V, the device operates in emergency mode even without batteries.

Functional test/Self-test

• Test the voltage tester by applying it to familiar voltage Sources
• Connect test prods (1) and (2). The LED for the continuit test (13) lights up and a signal sounds.
• Press the ,AUTOTEST” button. On successful completion o the test, the LEDs for the continuity test (13) as well as allsegments of the bar graph light up and a signal sounds.

Voltage test

To achieve the protection class CAT I| 1000 V and CAT IV 600 V the protective covers must be placed over the test prods.

Hold the base device (+) in your right hand and the second test prod (-) in your left hand. Now apply the test prods to the contacts to be tested (line, socket, etc.).
The voltage tester is automatically active as trom a voltage of >4.5 V and shows the measured voltage both numericaly and as a bar graph.

Single-pole phase test

• Make contact with the conductor to be tested with test prod
• L2, L1 remains free during the measurement. The LED (9) will light up it an AC voltage is applied on the conductor.
• The single-pole phase test can only be performed with fully charged batteries inserted.
• The single-pole phase test can be carried out as from an AC voltage of approx. 100 VAC.
• When the single-pole phase test is carried out on the outer conducto, the indicator function may be adversely affected under certain conditions (e.g. when insulating personnel protective equipment is used or at insulated locations).

The single-pole phase test is not suitable for checking for zero voltage. To do this, you need to carry out a two-pole phase test.

Determining the direction of the rotating field

1. If the symbol R (7) appears in the display, this means that the presumed phase L1 is actually phase L1 and the presumed phase L2 is actually phase L2.
2. If the symbol L (7) appears in the display, this means that the presumed phase L1 is actually phase L2 and the presumed phase L2 is actually phase L1.

When you crosscheck this by switching round the test prods, the opposite symbol should light up instead.

Battery lamp

To switch on the battery lamp, press and hold down button 10. The light switches itself off automatically as soon as the button is released.

Calibration

The voltage tester needs to be calibrated and tested on a regular basis to ensure it produces accurate measurement results. We recommend carrying out calibration once a year.
