Voltage Test / Measurement
Safety measures as mentioned in paragraph 2.0 must be
met.
Open Polaris 3 plus Voltage Tester as described on page
26.
Connect both test probes to UUT.
The voltage testers are automatically switched on when
applied to a voltage op approx. 1 to 12 V.
The respective voltage is indicated in the display window.
Display for AC voltage measurements:
for Polaris 3 plus "AC"
symbol , additionally acoustic signal is audible.
Additional illumination of LED (6) for voltages greater
than approx. 50 V AC/DC.
For DC voltage tests, the indicated voltage polarity refers
to the instrument test probe (+).
Polaris 3 plus show negative voltages by displaying the
negative polarity sign on the LCD.
For technical reasons, the instrument cannot execute an
automatic switch-on within the range of approx. 0 V to
–3 V.
4.3 Contacless
Voltage
Test
Safety measures as mentioned in paragraph 2.0 must be
met.
The Contacless Voltage Test succeds without open the
Polaris 3plus.
Press and hold the key “V
EF
”. If an electrical field is in-
dicated the Polaris 3 plus switch on automatically ! An
