VOLTCRAFT MS-258 II Bedienungsanleitung Seite 13

Self-test of the metal sensor:
Turn the sensitivity controller (3) to maximum sensitivity (clockwise
to stop). Press the button to start the test (4) causing the LED (2) to
flash and a peep sound. Turn the sensitivity controller (3) counter
clockwise until the peep sound goes off. Place the metal sensor (1)
in the vicinity of an object, of which you are sure it is made of metal.
Now the LED (2) should light up and acoustic signal should be audi-
ble.
If no optical or acoustic signal occurs, the device must not be
put into operation.
Voltage detection up to 440 V
- Carry out the self-test as described above.
- Turn the sensitivity controller (3) to minimum sensitivity (anti-
clockwise to stop) and keep the button for start of test (4)
pressed.
- Move the AC Volt sensor into the vicinity of the object to be test-
ed (socket, wires, et cetera). The Multitester MS-258 II can also
check concealed 230 V cables for voltage; however the cable
must not be shielded and must not be concealed by more than 1
cm of plaster. In order to increase the sensitivity, you should
place your free hand on the wall.
- The device will indicate the presence of an alternating current (70
to 440 V) by a flashing LED (2) and by a chirping buzzer.
In order to avoid an electric shock, ensure that you do
not touch the connections to be measured, even indi-
rectly, during measurements.
If you are not certain about the measuring result, please
call an expert.
No measurement can be carried out on shielded cables.
Please note that high humidity may have an influence
on the sensitivity of the device.

We accept no liability for damage to property or
injury to persons caused by mishandling of the
device or non-compliance with the safety instruc-
tions. Under these circumstances, any warranty
expires.
For safety and certification (CE) reasons, unauthorised modifica-
tions and/or changes to the product are not permitted.
In order to ensure a safe operation of the device, it is imperative that
the safety instructions, warning notes and the chapter on "Intended
use" are observed. A triangle containing an exclamation mark is
used to draw attention to important information in the operating
instructions. Read the entire operating instructions prior to
operation.
The device may be used in electric circuits only which are protected
by a 16 A fuse.
Be particularly careful when dealing with voltages exceeding 25 V
alternating current (AC) or 35 V direct current (DC). Even with volt-
ages as low as these, it is possible to receive a life-threatening elec-
tric shock by touching electric conductors.
This product is not a toy! Keep it out of the reach of children.
Do not subject the device to any mechanical loads, and avoid any
contact with moisture and liquids by all means. Use the device in
the open only in suitable weather conditions or with the correspond-
ing protection.
If you are uncertain about the correct connection or if you have any
questions that are not answered in the scope of these operating
instructions, please contact our Technical Support or one of our
other specialists.
