The „single-pole“ phase display can be adversely affected by unfavourable ambient conditions
(electrostatic fields, good insulation etc.). In all cases, conduct an additional, twin-pole voltage
test.
Maintenance and Disposal
Check the technical safety of the voltage tester regularly. It can be assumed that risk-free
operation is no longer possible if:
• there is visible evidence that the device has been damaged
• the device has been stored under unfavorable conditions for a longer period of time
• the device has been subjected to heavy transport strain.
The outside of the device should be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth or brush only. Do not use
abrasive or chemical cleaning agents which could damage the housing or impair operation.
Never try to open the housing, apart from the battery compartment.
When the device has become unusable, dispose of it in accordance with the current statutory
regulations.
