Elbro TESTFIX Plus Bedienungsanleitung Seite 9

Thank you for purchasing the TESTFIX Plus . The TESTFIX Plus is the result of continuous further development of
the trusted TESTFIX; in the meantime it boasts more than five professional functions for working with electrical
cables.
Optical, low-resistance continuity tests
•
Acoustic high-resistance continuity tests
•
High-performance LED torch
•
Non-contact voltage check
•
Phase sequence indicator
•
1. Continuity test optical
Plug in the measuring leads as shown in figure 1a. The optical display (larger LED) lights up at 0 ~ 20 Ohms; the
light intensity decreases proportionally from 10 Ohms.
Warning!
The neon lamp glows if contrary to expectations the object to be measured is connected to the voltage supply.
The red V~ LED lights up if a measuring lead contacts a live circuit.
2. Continuity test acoustic
Plug in the measuring leads as shown in figure 1b. The acoustic signal sounds at 0 ~ 250 Ohms. The green >o<
LED lights up simultaneously.
Warning!
If contrary to expectations, the object to be measured is connected to the voltage supply the neon lamp
and the buzzer emits an audible warning signal! The red V~ LED lights up if a measuring lead contacts a live circuit.
The TESTFIX Plus is voltage proof up to 400 V~ (max. 30s)! It is possible to carry out continuity tests with the torch
turned on at the same time.
3. Contact-free voltage tests
No measuring leads are connected (see figure 2)! TESTFIX Plus detects live wires by means of the integrated cir-
cuit in the rear of the device. No current flow is required. The metal clip acts as an extended sensor.
Touching the metal clip is not a source of danger!
4. Single-pole phase testing
Insert a measuring lead into the device, preferably in the COM jack (figure 3)! Now touch the wire with the tip of the
test probe. Ensure that you do not touch the clip on the rear of the device (fold upwards). The red V~ LED lights up
if a phase is detected!
Touching the metal clip increases the sensitivity of the electronics, so that alternating voltages can be detected
within a distance of a few millimetres.
Touching the metal clip is not a source of danger!
5. Battery change
Lever the upper part of the housing upwards with the help of a screwdriver inserted between the nub and the mid-
dle jack, (see figure 4). To remove the lid, unhook downwards. Ensure correct polarity when inserting the new bat-
teries.
Please do not dispose of dead batteries via domestic refuse. A suitable collection point is generally within easy
reach.
DANGER: RISK OF DEATH!
Remove all measurement leads before opening the device!
