conditions.
You have selected a device that is designed to offer you a high degree of safety. It conforms to
IEC/EN 61243-3 standards. In order to ensure that the unit is operated correctly and safely, read
these operating instructions thoroughly BEFORE operating the device.
The following safety precautions should be observed:
1. Check the voltage tester for correct functioning immediately before each use (as per VDE
specification 0105, part 1), by connecting it to a known voltage source (e.g. a 230V power
socket). If the indicator shows that one or more functions are not working correctly, do not
use the device any further, but have it examined by a qualified service technician. You can
contact our works service department for this purpose:
support@testboy.de
2. Always hold the device by its handles.
3. Avoid touching the probe tips.
4. Note that all testing for no voltage should be carried out at two poles.
5. The voltage indications on the Testboy are only rated values.
6. Trouble-free operation can only be guaranteed at temperatures of between -10°C and
+50°C.
7. Keep the device clean and dry at all times. The casing may be cleaned by wiping with a
damp cloth.
1.)DC voltage testing:
When the probe tips are connected to a DC voltage that lies within the rated voltage range, one of
the lower (6V + -) or bottom LED indicators lights up to indicate the corresponding voltage. The
upper LED indicators show the voltage, whereby the reference pole is connected to the large hand
element.
2.)AC voltage testing:
When the probe tips are connected to an AC voltage that lies within the rated voltage range, both of
the upper (6V + -) and the lower LED indicators light up to indicate the corresponding voltage.
Simultaneous lighting up of the upper LEDs indicates the presence of an AC voltage.
3.) Phase search:
Hold one test tip against the earth (ground) lead and use the other tip to check the remaining leads.
The Testboy 40 Plus indicates the AC voltage for the phase in question. FI/RCD is not triggered.
Declaration of conformity
This product is in conformity with standards of low voltage in accordance with the regulations 73/23/EEC, 89/336/EEC.
Fields of application
The tool is intended for use in applications as described in the operating instructions only.
Any other form of usage is not permitted and can lead to accidents or destruction of the device. Any misuse will result in the
expiry of all guarantee and warranty claims on the part of the operator against the manufacturer.
