Inserting/Replacing The Battery; Technical Data; Performing Tests - VOLTCRAFT MS-540 Bedienungsanleitung

Inserting/replacing the battery

For the initial commissioning, and when the tester does not produce any audio signal, the
batteries must be replaced. Two batteries are enclosed with the tester.
To insert/replace the battery, proceed as follows:
Press the rectangular recess and remove the battery lid (7) from the tester by pulling it
backwards.
Insert two micro-batteries (AAA) into the battery compartment. Pay attention to the polarity
indicated on the housing.
Use alkaline batteries, as they guarantee a longer running time.
Close the battery compartment again, carefully.
Preparation of tests
• The device is switched on by pressing the on/off switch (5) for a duration.
• The beeper, red LED (3) and vibration motor switch on briefly for self-testing.
• The test range from 50 V to 1000 V is set after switching on. Brief pressing of the on/off
switch (5) sets the sensitivity range from 12 V to 50 V. Voltages from 50 V to 1000 V are also
indicated in the range from 12 V to 50 V. If a voltage source above 50 V is in the vicinity of a
12 V voltage source, the tester will detect the more powerful one.
• The flashing red LED demonstrates readiness.
• The tester is switched off by pressing the on/off switch (5) for a duration.
• The tester turns off automatically after approx. 3 minutes of inactivity.

Performing tests

a) Voltage test
• Move the device slowly along the tested object, e.g., a cable
• If the device detects alternating voltage in the 12...50 V mode, the red LED flashes, the motor
vibrates and the tone generator produces a sound signal.
• If the device detects alternative voltage in the 50...1000 V/AC mode, the red LED glows
continuously, the motor vibrates and the tone generator produces a sound signal.
• Testing may be influenced by the position of the ground wire in the tested object.
b) Magnetic field tests
• Move the device slowly along the tested object
• If the device detects a magnetic field, the yellow LED lights up.
• If electric and magnetic fields are detected simultaneously, the yellow and the red LED flash
alternately
c) Torch
• Press and hold the "torch" button (6) to switch on the torch.
Cleaning
Prior to cleaning the device, switch the product off.
Live components may be exposed if the covers are opened or parts are re-
moved, unless this can be done manually without tools.
• Do not use scouring, chemical or aggressive cleaning agents such as benzene, alcohol or
similar chemicals. These might attack the surface of the device. Furthermore, the fumes are
explosive and hazardous to your health. Moreover, you should not use sharp-edged tools,
screwdrivers or metal brushes, or the like for cleaning
• To clean the device, use a clean, slightly damp, fuzz-free, antistatic cleaning cloth.
Disposal
a) Product
Electronic devices are recyclable and do not belong in the household waste.
Dispose of an unserviceable product in accordance with the relevant statutory regu-
lations.
Remove any inserted batteries/rechargeable batteries and dispose of them sepa-
rately from the product.
b) Battery
As the end user, you are required by law (Regulation on Spent Batteries) to return all dead
batteries and accumulators. Disposal in the household waste is prohibited.
Batteries/rechargeable batteries contain harmful materials and are labelled with the
symbol shown to indicate that disposal in the household waste is forbidden. The
symbols of the critical heavy metals are: Cd=cadmium, Hg=mercury, Pb=lead (the
marking can be seen on the battery/rechargeable battery, e.g., underneath the re-
fuse bin symbol shown on the left).
You can return your used batteries/rechargeable batteries free of charge at the official col-
lection points of your community, in our stores, or at places where batteries or rechargeable
batteries are sold.
