Safety information
WARNING
Read this manual carefully before using the instrument. Failure to use the instrument in accordance with the manu-
facturer's specifications can affect the protection which it provides.
WARNING
Sources of danger include e.g. mechanical parts, which can cause serious injuries. Objects are also at risk (e.g.
damage to the instrument).
WARNING
An electric shock can result in death or serious injury and jeopardise the function of objects (e.g. damage to the in-
strument).
WARNING
Unauthorised modification and/or changes to the instrument are not permitted for reasons of safety and approval
(CE). In order to ensure safe and reliable operation of the instrument, you must always comply with the safety infor-
mation, warnings and the information contained in the section "Intended use".
WARNING
Observe the following information before using the instrument:
Avoid operating the instrument near to electric welding equipment, induction heaters or other electromagnetic
|
fields.
| To stabilise the instrument after abrupt changes in temperature, the instrument must be allowed to adjust to the
new ambient temperature for approx. 30 minutes before using it.
Temperatures below 5 °C can impair the readiness of the voltage tester. Please provide sufficient power supply
|
by using suitable batteries which are also specified for the appointed temperature range!
| Do not expose the instrument to high temperatures for a long period of time.
Avoid dusty and humid environments.
|
The voltage tester and accessories are not toys and must be kept out of the reach of children!
|
| When working in commercial facilities, comply at all times with the accident prevention regulations for electrical
systems and equipment as established by the employer's liability insurance association.
Please observe the five safety rules:

WARNING
Compared to the reference value of 100 k, a voltage tester with relatively low impedance does not indicate all
|
interference voltages with an original value above the ELV. Given contact with the parts of the system to be
tested, discharge can mean that the voltage tester temporarily diminishes the interference voltages to a level
under the ELV. Removing the voltage tester returns the interference voltage to its original value.
Compared to the reference value of 100 k, a voltage tester with relatively high internal impedance at the exist-
|
ing interference voltage cannot clearly indicate "operating voltage not present".
If the indication "Voltage present" does not appear, we strongly recommend that you insert the earthing device
|
before starting the work.
| If the indication "Voltage present" appears for a part that is considered to be separate from the system, we
strongly recommend that you take additional action (e.g.: use a suitable voltage tester, visually check the sepa-
