The instrument provides a high level of safety by
means of resistors with large creaping distances as
well as two absolutely independently working test
systems.
- LV-indication of existent voltage indicated
by one LED, even without battery.
- digital indicator for exact test values.
VDE test authorities have granted the application of
the VDE GS-symbol for the MultiSafe DSP 5.
Please observe the following safety precautions:
The voltages indicated on the MultiSafe DSP 5 are
rated voltages. The voltage tester may only be
used in systems working within this rated voltage
range.
Faultless indication of display values is only
guaranteed between -15°C ... +55°C.
Hold the instrument by its handles only, to avoid
covering the display or touching the test
elecrodes.
The maximum on-period of the MultiSafe DSP 5 is
2 minutes.
Only qualified persons may carry out work with
these device. The user needs to be farmiliar with
the risks for measuring voltage and compliance
with safety regulations and the proper use of the
voltage detector.
Workings may only be performed with appro-
priate personal protective equipment.
Observe the minimum object distance to other
plant components that are energized or earthed
and use personal protective equipment as speci-
fied by national accident prevention regulations
(in Germany: DGUV A3 or EN 50110-1).
The function of the voltage tester must be
checked briefly before and whenever possible
after the use.
Carry out the function test.
If the indication of one or several systems fails in
the course of checking, the instrument must not
be used again.
The red LED
(LV-indication) only serves
as a indication for hazardous voltage and not as
measurement value.
With non pushed buttons this voltage detector
cannot reliably indicate the absence of
operating voltage in case of interference voltage
because of its relatively high internal impedance.
When the display shows “voltage present” on a
part that applies as separated from the
installation, it is recommended to repeat the test
while pressing the push buttons (additional
load). When using devices without additional
load connection repeat the test by other means.
With determination of phase conductors and phase
sequence the perceptibility of the display may be
impaired, e.g. when using insulating protective ge-
ars, in unfavourable locations, for example on
wooden ladders or insulating floor coverings, as
well as with unfavourable lighting conditions and in
an improperly earthed AC voltage system.
