Safety precautions
This product complies with the requirements of the following directives of the
European Union for CE conformity: 2014/30/EU (electromagnetic compatibility),
2014/35/EU (low voltage), 2011/65/EU (RoHS).
Overvoltage category IV 1000 V; pollution degree 2.
CAT I: For signal level, telecommunication, electronic with small transient
overvoltage
CAT II: For local level, appliances, main wall outlets, portable equipment
CAT III: Distribution level, fixed installation, with smaller transient
overvoltages than CAT IV.
CAT IV: Units and installations, which are supplied overhead lines, which are
stand in a risk of persuade of a lightning, i.e. mainswitches on current
input, overvoltage-iverter,
current use counter.
To ensure safe operation of the equipment and eliminate the danger of serious injury due to short-circuits (arcing), the following safety precautions must be observed. Damages resulting from failure to observe these safety precautions are exempt from any legal claims whatever.
- Do not subject the equipment to direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, extreme humidity or dampness
- Do not operate the equipment near strong magnetic fields (motors, transformers etc.)
- Do not subject the equipment to shocks or strong vibrations
- Keep hot soldering iron or guns away from the equipment
- Allow the equipment to stabilise at room temperature before taking up measurement (important for exact measurement)
- Do not modify the equipment in any way
- Opening the equipment and service- and repair work must only be performed by qualified service personnel
Measuring instruments don’t belong to children hands!
Cleaning the cabinet
Clean only with a damp soft cloth and a commercially available mild household
cleanser. Ensure that no water gets inside the equipment to prevent possible
shorts and damage to the equipment.
Introduction
The new voltage tester P 1031 is used for the contactless detection of AC
voltages on live cables and devices. By switching the measuring range, it is
possible to detect even low voltages down to a minimum of 50V AC with the P
1031.
With its “Working” display, it quickly becomes apparent that the voltage
tester is switched on and can carry out the respective measurement.
If AC voltage is present at the relevant measuring point, this is indicated
visually by a flashing red LED and the integrated buzzer sounds. In addition,
a vibration motor ensures the detection of detected voltages even in noisy and
confusing work environments.
The integrated LED flashlight can be switched on at any time, even if the
actual voltage tester is switched off. In addition, the device can be
transported conveniently and safely with the pocket clip.
The ergonomic and modern design, as well as the many practical features and
the high user safety with overvoltage category IV 1000 V complete the profile
of the PeakTech 1031 voltage tester.
- Modern non-contact voltage tester
- Operating indicator “Working”
- Switchable flashlight
- Pocket clip for easy storage of the voltage tester
- Different LED lighting of the probe for different voltage ranges
Controls
Operation
The voltage tester is used to identify voltage – carrying wires and equipment. With its clear indication of the flashing red LED and the vibration motor, it is easy to find AC voltage – carrying leads.
4.1 Switching the device on / off
To switch on the device, solely the on / off button is pressed. At the moment
of switch-on a beep sounds, the vibration motor is vibrating once and the
working signal on the display is illuminated.
To switch off the voltage tester, press the on / off button again. A beep
sounds again, this time twice. At the same time, the working indicator turns
off to indicate that the voltage tester is switched off.
Note:
If there is no indication, there may still be voltage present. Operation may
be affected by differences in connector design, thickness and type of
insulation. The device can detect no voltage in armored cables, pipe cables,
behind panels or metallic covers.
4.2 Measurements
Before each measurement, check the voltage tester for functionality by taking
a measurement on a known voltage source.
In order to detect an alternating voltage, the tip of the voltage tester is
placed in the vicinity of a voltage-carrying object. When an AC voltage is
detected, the red LED starts pulsing, the beep starts to beep, and the
vibration motor begins to vibrate.
It is possible to change the measuring range by pressing the on / off button
for approx. 2 seconds while the device is in operation.
With this switch, the sensitivity of the voltage tester is changed to 50 –
1000V AC, a yellow light of the test probe signals this. By pressing and
holding the power button again, the measuring range is changed back to the
sensitivity of the voltage tester to 200 -1000V AC.
4.3 Battery status indicator
If the battery voltage is too low to perform a reliable measurement, a
three beeping when you turn on the device signals this.
Furthermore, the “Working” indicator is red and flashes three times.
Refer to item 5. Replacing the Batteries for the correct procedure (See pages
9-10) for how to replace the batteries.
4.4 Automatic shutdown
An automatic switch-off is integrated in the voltage tester, which switches
off the device after approx. 5 minutes of inactivity. When turned off, a beep
sounds twice and the unit vibrates twice.
4.5 Flashlight
The built-in flashlight is not only suitable for measuring operation, but also
can be used as a normal flashlight replacement.
It is possible to use the flashlight even if the meter is turned off and not
in use. It is switched on by pressing the flashlight button once and by
pressing the button again, it is switched off.
4.6 Switching off the signal transmitter / vibration
The sound signal and the vibration of the voltage tester can be switched off
as required. To turn these features off, press the power button for about 3
seconds meanwhile turning on the device. If the red and yellow LEDs lights up
at the same time, the device is turned on and the features are disabled. At
the next normal switch-on, the sound signal and the vibration are active
again.
Replacing the batteries
To replace the batteries, the top cap must be removed. For this, the locking tab must be slightly pressed down and at the same time, the cap has to be removed.
Now insert the two 1.5V AAA batteries into the voltage tester (see the polarity of the batteries on the voltage tester).
After inserting the batteries, push the top cap back over the locking tab until it clicks into place.

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:
- “Cd” means cadmium.
- “Hg” means mercury.
- “Pb” stands for lead.
