Current in energized pipelines
In energized pipelines, the current is limited by the generator:
●
Continuous signal: max. 0.5 A
●
Pulsed signal:
max. 1 A
If these values are already reached at medium signal strength,
the generator does not increase the actual signal strength any
further. This also applies if the Up key is pressed further and an
increased signal strength is then displayed.
Safe-to-touch range
As long as the signal strength does not show more than 3 bars
(fig. 3, left picture), the generator operates in the touch-safe
range ES1
2
. When the
Notice
symbol appears (fig. 3, picture on
the right) the generator operates in the ES2 range
3
.
NOTICE!
In the ES2 range, contact between metal parts (e. g. clamps,
earthing spike) and a body part is painful but is not expected to
cause injury. Nevertheless, the user is responsible for ensuring
that persons or animals do not accidentally touch the metal parts.
●
Secure the work area especially carefully when working in the
ES2 range.
To get from range ES2 back to range ES1, the signal strength
must be reduced (section 3.3).
