3. Putting into operation
3.1 General information
The DSP HS36
does not
switch on automatically. For voltage tests of the self-test must be performed
(see 3.4) first.
Switch-off:
Press button until „oFF“ is indicated. When no voltage is applied, the device switches off
automatically after 90 s. The display illumination switches off after approximately 5 s when no voltage
is applied.
3.2 Battery
Your instrument is already supplied with a 9 V block battery in accordance with IEC 6LR61 / 6LF22 /
6LP3146. The battery status is indicated by a battery symbol on the display (see section 5).
You need to change the battery of the device before continuing with testing when the empty battery
symbol on the display flashes.
3.3 Connect to ground
Firmly connect the contact clip with the ground potential (preferably fixed ball point/conductor rail).
3.4 Testing correct display and function (self-test)
In accordance with EN 50110-1 (VDE 0105-1) voltage testers must be checked if they function
correctly, briefly before and whenever possible after the use, for determining absence of voltage.
Step 1 – Test of the display
The device must be switched off for the self-test. Press and hold button . All display segments light
up on the display, the backlight changes between red and white and the 2 LEDs lights up and an
acoustic signal occurs. Release button „TEST“ is indicated on the display.
Step 2 – Check test circuit and protective resistors
Hold the test electrode for about 5 seconds to the connected ground connection. If „Rdy“ appears and
the green LED lights up, then the MultiSafe DSP HS36 is ready for operation.
Note!
In case the function test has not been successful, check the following:
Test electrode short-circuited? Test electrode screwed tightly? Battery empty? Repeat the function test!
Attention!
If the display fails during the self-test – even if only partial failure occurs – or if the instrument does not
indicate a function standby, the voltage tester may not be placed into operation!
