1. Safety instructions:
- Hold the voltage tester only by the insulated
handles and and do not touch the contact
electrodes (probe tips)
!
- Immediately before use: Check the voltage tester
for correct operation! (see chapter 3). The voltage
tester must not be used if one or several display
functions fail or if the voltage tester is not ready to
operate (IEC 61243-3)!
- The voltage tester must be used only within the
nominal voltage range of 6 V up to 400 V!
- The voltage tester complies with protection class
IP 65 and therefore can also be used under wet
conditions.
- For testing, firmly grasp the voltage tester by the
handles and .
- Never connect the voltage tester to voltage for
longer than 30 seconds (maximum permissible
operating time = 30 s)!
- The voltage tester only operates correctly
within the temperature range of -10 °C up to
+55 °C at relative air humidity of 20 % up to 96 %.
- Do not dismantle the voltage tester!
- Please protect the housing of the voltage tester
against contamination and damages.
- Please store the voltage tester under dry conditions.
Attention:
After maximum load (i.e. after a measurement of 30
seconds at 400 V), the voltage tester must not be used
for a duration of 300 seconds!
2. Functional description
The PROFIPOL
®
is a two-pole voltage tester according
to IEC 61243-3 with visual display
and without own
power supply. The voltage tester is designed for DC
and AC voltage tests within the voltage range of 6 V
up to 400 V. It can be used to perform polarity tests
in DC.
The voltage tester consists of the test probes L1
and L2 and a connecting cable
. The test probe
L1 is equipped with a display
.
Display field
The display system
consists of high-contrast light-
emitting diodes (LED)
indicating voltages in steps
of 6 V to 400 V. The indicated voltages are nominal
voltages. With DC voltage, the LEDs also indicate the
polarity (see chapter 5).
3. Functional check
- The voltage tester must be used only within the
nominal voltage range of 6 V up to 400 V!
- Never connect the voltage tester to voltage for
longer than 30 seconds (maximum permissible
operating time = 30 s)!
- Check the voltage tester for correct function
immediately before use!
- Test all functions by means of known voltage
sources.
• For DC voltage tests use e.g. a car battery.
• For AC voltage tests use e.g. a 230 V socket.
Do not use the voltage tester unless all functions are
operating correctly!
4. How to test AC voltages
- The voltage tester must be used only within the
nominal voltage range of 6 V up to 400 V!
- Never connect the voltage tester to voltage for
longer than 30 seconds (maximum permissible
operating time = 30 s)!
- Place the contact electrodes
of the test probes
L1 and L2 against the relevant points of the
unit under test.
- For AC voltages from 6 V onwards the LEDs “plus”
and “minus”
and
light up. Furthermore,
all LEDs light until the step value of the applied
voltage is reached.
5. How to test DC voltages
- The voltage tester must be used only within the
nominal voltage range of 6 V up to 400 V!
- Never connect the voltage tester to voltage for
longer than 30 seconds (maximum permissible
operating time = 30 s)!
- Place the contact electrodes
of the test probes
L1 and L2 against the relevant points of the
unit under test.
- For AC voltages from 6 V onwards the LEDs “plus”
and “minus”
and
light up. Furthermore,
all LEDs light until the step value of the applied
voltage is reached.
5.1 How to test the polarity at DC voltage
- The voltage tester must be used only within the
nominal voltage range of 6 V up to 400 V!
- Never connect the voltage tester to voltage for
longer than 30 seconds (maximum permissible
operating time = 30 s)!
- Place the contact electrodes
of the test probes
L1 and L2 against the relevant points of the
unit under test.
- If LED
lights up, the “positive pole” of the unit
under test is at test probe .
- If LED
lights up, the “negative pole” of the unit
under test is at test probe .
6. General maintenance
Clean the exterior of the housing with a clean dry
cloth (exception: special cleansing cloths). Do not use
solvents and/ or abrasives to clean the voltage tester.
