Voltage Test with RCD/FI Trip Test
For voltage tests in systems with RCD/FI earth leakage
circuit breakers an RCD/FI can be tripped with a 10 mA or
30mA nominal leakage current on single phase AC 230 V
power system.
To do this, the voltage is tested between L and PE and
both pushbuttons
11
are pressed simultaneously. The RCD/
FI should trip.
Continuity Test (Rx)
The test circuit/object shall be
de-energized before measurement.
• Check for the absence of voltage by conducting a two-
pole voltage test on the test object
• Connect both test probes or press the pushbutton
12
to switch on the Tester.
• Connect both test probes to the test object. For
continuity (up to approx. 500 k
Ω
) the LED for
continuity Rx
7
is ON and the buzzer is active.
• Continuity test automatically switches OFF after
approx. 30 seconds if no continuity is detected. If
continuity is detected the tester switch automatically
on.
Determining the Rotary Field Direction
The voltage testers feature a two-pole rotary field
direction detector.
Follow the safety instructions.
The rotary field direction detector is always active, the LED
6
may be ON constantly. However, the rotary field
direction can be determined only in a three-phase system
between the external conductors. The instrument displays
the voltage between two external conductors.
• Connect the handle test probe
1
to the presumed
phase L1 and the test probe
2
to the presumed phase
L2.
• Firmly enclose the indicator test probe around its body
15
!
If the LED
6
is constantly on - right rotary field
If the LED
6
is constantly off - left rotary field
TIP: When re-testing with exchanged test probes the
opposite result has to be occur.
Torch Light
(Measurement point illumination)
The voltage testers feature measurement point
illumination
4
by a white LED. This facilitates work
under poor lighting conditions (e.g. distribution/control
cabinets).
To activate the torch light, press the pushbutton
12
for
measurement point illumination. Torchlight Auto power
Off off is approx. 30 seconds after last pressing the
pushbutton.
