Operating manual for the TG basic 1 appliance tester
Gilgen, Müller & Weigert
3. Safety instructions
The appliance tester was constructed and tested in accordance
with the applicable safety regulations and left the factory in a
faultless safety condition. In order to maintain this condition and
ensure safe operation, the user must observe the instructions and
warnings contained in this operating manual.
&
&
&
&
&
With all work, the applicable accident prevention
regulations of the trade associations for electrical systems
and equipment must be observed.
To avoid electric shock, the applicable safety regulations
and DIN-VDE regulations regarding high touch voltage
must be observed without fail when working with voltages
greater than 120 V DC or 50 V AC.
Measuring at a dangerous proximity to electrical systems should
only be carried out under the instruction of a responsible
electrician, and never alone.
Check the appliance tester and the connecting cables for external
damage before every new operation.
Make sure that the appliance tester and the cable connections
are in faultless condition.
The appliance tester may not be used if one or more functions fail
or if functional readiness is not evident.
The measuring lines and the measuring accessories may
only be touched in the designated handling areas.
Touching measuring connections, e.g. test tips, must be
avoided under all circumstances.

If the safety of the operator is no longer guaranteed the
appliance tester must be decommissioned and secured
against unwanted use. This is the case if the device:
– Shows obvious signs of damage
– No longer carries out the required measurements
– Has been stored under adverse conditions for too long
