– Clean and dry the device before use.
– When using the device outdoors, make sure that the weather conditions are appropriate and/or that
suitable protection measures are taken.
– In overvoltage category II (CAT II), the voltage between the test device and earth must not exceed 250 V.
– For each measurement, the measuring equipment must correspond to the required measuring category
(CAT), measuring voltage and measuring current.
– Before every measurement make sure that the area to be checked (e.g. line) and the tester are in perfect
operating condition. Test the device by connecting it to known voltage sources (e.g. a 230 V socket in
the case of AC testing).
– The device must no longer be used if one or more of its functions fail or the battery charge is weak.
– Isolate the device from all measuring circuits before opening the battery compartment cover.
– Observe the safety precautions of local and national authorities relating to the correct use of the device
and any prescribed safety equipment (e.g. electrician‘s safety gloves).
– Hold the device by the grip sections only. Do not touch the test prods during measurement.
– Do not leave the sender running permanently. Only use during actual measurement. After a measurement
is taken, the transmitter (including test leads) must be removed from the measured circuit.
– If you are taking measurements in the hazardous vicinity of electrical installations, do not work alone
and seek guidance from an electrically skilled person before starting work.
– The sender introduces the measuring voltage into the lines to be tested. This may impair or damage
sensitive electronic equipment (e.g. network cards). Therefore, please make sure that any lines to be
tested which belong to sensitive electronic equipment are isolated before measurement.
– Only the original measuring leads may be used. Their voltage, category and ampere rated powers must
match those of the measuring device.
Protection class II: The test device has
reinforced or double insulation.

Hazardous electrical voltage warning:
Unprotected live components inside
the device housing may pose a risk
of electric shock.
Danger area warning
Earth potential
Important notes. Must be observed.
Overvoltage category III: Equipment in
fixed installations and for applications
where specific requirements with regard
to the reliability and availability of equip
-
ment have to be met, e.g. circuit-breakers
in fixed installations and devices used
in industrial applications which are
permanently connected to the fixed
installation.
