Tietzsch MultiSafe DSP 3HS36 Bedienungsanleitung Seite 13

1. Application
The MultiSafe DSP 3HS36 is a two pole voltage tester for a.c. and d.c. voltages
up to 36 kV against ground. It is particularly suitable to detect voltages at capacitor banks and rail con-
verter systems with frequencies between 0-200 Hz quickly and securely.
Voltage is signalised by three red LEDs and the value is indicated digital on the LCD. Simultaneously, the
upper display line indicates the mains frequency. With one push-button self-test and function test are
easily and quickly performed. Stand-by and abscence of voltage are signalised by a green LED.
2. Safety Precautions
In order to maintain flawless technical safety conditions, and to assure safe use, it is imperative that
you read these operating instructions thoroughly and carefully before placing your instrument into
service, and that you follow all instructions contained therein otherwise there is danger of life!
Please observe the following safety precautions:
 Only qualified personnel with appropriate protective equipment may do these workings.
Observe the minimum object distance to other plant components that are energized or earthed
and use personal protective equipment as specified by national accident prevention regulations
(in Germany: BGV A3 or VDE 0105-100).
 The voltages indicated on the DSP 3HS36 are rated voltages. The voltage tester may only be used in
systems working with those rated voltage ranges.
 Faultless indication of display values is only guaranteed between -10°C and +55°C.
 Establish and check safe connection to ground.
 Hold the instrument only beneath its octagonal limiting dics, do not touch test probes and test
electrodes.
 The test probes may only be connected up to the red limiting mark to live or grounded plant
components. With all other parts of the voltage tester the distance has to be kept as big as possible.
 The contact clip has to be securely attached to the ground potential (e.g. fixed ball point).
The grounding line must not cross live plant components.
 Just before they are used, and as possible afterwards as well, voltage testers need to be checked
to ensure they function correctly. Check the instrument at a known voltage source by performing
the self-test / function test. If the display of one or several systems fails in the course of checking,
the instrument must not be used again.
 The maximum on-time of the DSP 3HS36 is 15 minutes.
 The voltage tester may only be dismantled by authorized personel.
 Voltage testers must be kept dry and clean.
 Do not use the device when damages can be identified (visual inspection: basic pipe, test probe,
electrode, display, connecting line, universal clip).
 A repeated examiniation has to be carried out at least every 6 years.
3. General information
In order to save on battery the device switches off automatically after approximately 120 seconds when
no measurement is taken. The LCD backlight switches off automatically after 5 seconds. „OL" (out of limit)
on the display means that the measurement value is higher than the rated measurent range.
You need to change the battery of the device before continuing with testing when the empty battery
symbol on the display flashes.
Before application the DSP 3HS36 has to be completely moounted (test electrode + basic pipe + test
probe + display).
Switch on / Switch off
The DSP 3HS36 does not switch on automatically.
For self-tests and voltage test the device needs to be activated with the on-off switch.
"TEST" appears on the display.
Attention!
You have to perform the function test in order to prepare the device for operation.
Switch off: Press the on-off switch until "oFF" appears.
