Laserliner 083014 ActiveFinder Pro
Completely read through the operating instructions, the „Warranty and Additional Information“ booklet as well as the latest information under the internet link at the end of these instructions. Follow the instructions they contain. This document must be kept in a safe place and passed on together with the device.
Function/Application
Non-contact tester for locating electrical voltage (230 VAC) in cables,
sockets, bulb sockets, fuses, control cabinet and system components. Visual
and acoustic signals indicate whether a voltage is present.
Safety instructions
-
The device must only be used in accordance with its intended purpose and within the scope of the specifications.
-
The measuring tools and accessories are not toys.
Keep out of reach of children. -
Modifications or changes to the device are not permitted, this will otherwise invalidate the approval and safety specifications.
-
Do not expose the device to mechanical stress, extreme temperatures or significant vibration.
-
If you are working with voltages higher than 24 V/AC / 60 V/DC, exercise extreme caution. Touching the electrical conductors at such voltages poses a risk of life-threatening electric shocks.
-
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 24 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.
-
In overvoltage category IV (CAT IV – 1000 V), the voltage between the test device and earth must not exceed 1000 V.
-
Before taking any measurements, make sure that both the area to be tested (e.g. a line), the test device and the accessories used (e.g. connection cable) are in proper working order. Test the device by connecting it to known voltage sources (e.g. a 230 V socket in the case of AC testing).
-
The device must no longer be used if one or more of its functions fail or the battery charge is weak.
-
Observe the safety precautions of local and national authorities relating to the correct use of the device and any prescribed safety equipment (e.g. electrician‘s safety gloves).
-
Do not work alone in the vicinity of hazardous electrical installations and only under the guidance of a qualified electrician.
-
The measuring device must not be used as a substitute for a two-pole zero potential test.
-
The device measures the presence of electrostatic fields of sufficient strength. If the field strength is too low voltage may still be applied although no warning signal is given. The following list of factors that influence the field strength does not claim to be complete: shielding, cable insulation (type, thickness), measurement distance, insulation between user and earth, special socket designs, condition of tester and of batteries.
Additional information on use
Observe the technical safety regulations for working on electrical systems, especially:
- Safely isolating from power supply,
- Securing to prevent system being switched on again,
- Checking zero potential, two-pole,
- Earthing and short-circuiting,
- Securing and covering adjacent live components.
Safety instructions
Using artificial, optical emission (OStrV)
LED outlet
(see Fig. A)
- The device works with LEDs of risk group RG 0 (exempt, no risk) in accordance with the latest versions of applicable standards relating to photobiological safety (EN 62471:2008-09ff / IEC/TR 62471:2006-07ff).
- Radiation power: Peak wavelength equals 445 nm. Mean radiance is below the limit values of risk group RG 0.
- When used for the intended purpose and under reasonably foreseeable conditions, the accessible radiation of the LEDs is safe for the human eye and skin.
- Temporary, irritating optical effects (e.g. dazzling, flash blindness, afterimages, colour vision impairment) cannot be completely ruled out, especially under low ambient light conditions.
- Do not intentionally look directly into the radiation source for longer periods of time.
- No specific measures are required to ensure the limit values of risk group RG 0 are maintained.
Safety instructions
Dealing with electromagnetic interference
- The measuring device complies with safety and electromagnetic compatibility regulations and limits in accordance with the Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU and electromagnetic compatibility regulations in accordance with the EMC Directive 2014/30/EU.
- Local operating restrictions – for example, in hospitals, aircraft, petrol stations or in the vicinity of people with pacemakers –may apply. Electronic devices can potentially cause hazards or interference or be subject to hazards or interference.
Symbols
Fig. B: Warning about hazardous electrical voltage: Unprotected live
components inside the device housing are capable of posing a risk of electric
shock.
Fig. C: Protection class II: The test device has reinforced or double
insulation.
Fig. D: Overvoltage category IV: Devices such as electricity meters,
overcurrent circuit breakers and ripplecontrol units, which are inten-ded 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 (see Fig. E)
Open the battery compartment and insert batteries according to the symbols. Be
sure to pay attention to polarity.
Device description (see Fig. F)
- Detector tip with LED indicator (green/red) / status indicator
- Voltage warning
- ON/OFF button
- Pocket clip
- Battery lamp ON/OFF
- Battery compartment
- Battery lamp
Before using the device, you should always test it on a main circuit you know to be operational within the specified voltage range.

LED indicator/status indicator
The LED indicator in the detector tip (1) signals the following: Green LED: Tester ready / off-circuit area
Red LED with alarm: Live wires in vicinity
LED off: Tester not ready -
Localising electrical voltages
Fig. H: Position the detector tip in the area to be tested (e.g. cable, socket etc.). Fig. I: When voltage is present, the detector tip lights up red, the voltage warning signal (2) lights up red, and a rapid signal sounds.
For safety, check all three phase conductors (L1, L2, L3) for the presence of
voltage!
If the acoustic signal is weak or the battery lamp is not as bright as it
should be, replace the batteries.
Please be aware that even if a visual signal is not displayed, voltage may still be present. Differences in the design of the connection socket or the nature of the insulation (thickness and type) can affect functionality. Voltage cannot be detected behind panels and metal covers.
Battery lamp
Press button 5 to switch the flashlight on and off.
Information on maintenance and care
Clean all components with a damp cloth and do not use cleaning agents,
scouring agents and solvents. Remove the battery(ies) before storing for
longer periods. Store the device in a clean and dry place.
