1. Application
The MultiSafe DSP HS36 is a two pole voltage tester for a.c. and d.c. voltages
up to 36 kV against ground. It is particularly suitable to detect voltage quickly and securely at capacitor
banks and links of converters.
Voltage is signalised by one LED and the value is indicated digital on the LCD. With the self-test the
functions of the testing device can be checked easily and quickly. Stand-by and abscence of voltage are
signalised by a green LED.
1.1 Intended use
This device is intended for use in applications as described in the operating instructions only.
Thus, it is imperative to observe the notes on safety and the technical data in conjunction with the
ambient conditions. Any other form of usage is not permitted and can lead to accidents or destruction
of the unit.
Any misuse will result in the expiry of all guarantee and warrantly claims.
2. Safety Precautions
In order to maintain flawless technical safety conditions, and to assure safe use, it is imperative that
you read these operating instructions thoroughly and carefully before placing your instrument into
service, and that you follow all instructions contained therein otherwise there is danger of life!
Please observe the following safety precautions:
The voltages indicated on the DSP HS36 are rated voltages. The voltage tester may only be used in
systems working with those rated voltage ranges.
Faultless indication of display values is only guaranteed between -15°C and +55°C.
Hold the instrument only beneath its octagonal limiting dics, do not touch test probe and test
electrodes.
The test probes may only be connected up to the red limiting mark to live or grounded plant
components. With all other parts of the voltage tester the distance has to be kept as big as possible.
The maximum on-time of the DSP HS36 is 15 minutes.
Only qualified personnel with appropriate protective equipment may do these workings.
Observe the minimum object distance to other plant components that are energized or earthed
and use personal protective equipment as specified by national accident prevention regulations
(in Germany: BGV A3 or VDE 0105-100).
Establish and check safe connection to ground.
The contact clip has to be securely attached to the ground potential (e.g. fixed ball point).
The grounding line must not cross live plant components.
Just before they are used, and as possible afterwards as well, voltage testers need to be checked
to ensure they function correctly. Check the instrument by performing the self-test / function test.
If the display of one or several systems fails in the course of checking, the instrument must not be
used again.
Before application the DSP HS36 has to be completely moounted (test ele basic pipe + test
probe + display).
The voltage tester may only be dismantled by authorized personel.
Voltage testers must be kept dry and clean.
Do not use the device when damages can be identified (visual inspection: basic pipe, test probe,
electrode, display, connecting line, universal clip).
A repeated examiniation has to be carried out at least every 6 years.
The tester has to be stored in a clean and dry environment.
