Inserting/Replacing the Battery
Before first use, and if the tester does not light up green when turned on, the batteries must be
replaced. Two batteries are enclosed with the tester.
To insert/replace the battery, proceed as follows:
Carefully unscrew the battery cap (1) (the torch end) anticlockwise.
Insert two micro-batteries (AAA) into the battery compartment. Please observe the polarity.
The positive pole must point towards the detector tip (7).
Use alkaline batteries, as they guarantee a longer running time.
Align the battery cap as shown in the picture. The two small springs must point upwards and
make contact with the two contacts of the voltage tester.
Screw the cap onto the tester until it is firmly seated. Do not apply excessive force.
Verify operation by using the tester on a known live AC voltage within the defined
detection range.
If the battery voltage during a test is too low for reliable operation, the tester will beep
once, vibrate three times and the green LED indicator (6) will be deactivated.
Please remove any security strips before installing batteries.
Preparation of Tests
• The device is switched on by pressing the on/off switch (5).
• The voltage tester will beep and vibrate once as a self-test.
• The test range from 100 V to 1000 V is set after switching on.
• This mode is indicated by a green LED (6).
• In order to use the device to test the voltage in the sensitivity range of 12-1000 VAC, press
and hold the 12 V button (4). This mode is indicated by a yellow LED (6). Voltages from 100 V
to 1000 V are also indicated in the range from 12 V to 1000 V. If a voltage source above
100 V is in the vicinity of a 12 V voltage source, the tester will detect the more powerful one.
• The tester is switched off by pressing the on/off switch (5).
At this, the voltage tester beeps twice, vibrates twice and the green LED indicator (6) goes
dark.
• The tester turns off automatically after approx. 5 minutes of inactivity.
Performing Tests
Before you perform a test, make sure that the LED indicator (6) is green or yellow
(depending on the measuring range) and check the operation on a known voltage
source within the rated AC voltage range.
a) Checking for the presence of voltage ranging from 100 V to 1000 V
• Move the device slowly along the tested object, e.g. a cable.
• If the device detects an AC voltage ranging from 100 V to 1000 V, the LED (6) will flash red
several times a second, the motor will vibrate and the sound generator will beep.
• Testing may be influenced by the position of the ground wire in the tested object.
b) Checking for the presence of voltage ranging from 12 V to 1000 V
• Press and hold the 12 V button (4).
• The LED (6) will change colour from green to yellow.
Move the device slowly along the tested object, e.g. a cable.
• If the device detects an AC voltage ranging from 12 V to 1000 V, the LED (6) will flash red
once a second, the motor will vibrate and the sound generator will beep.
• If the device detects an AC voltage ranging from 100 V to 1000 V, it will automatically switch
to this mode.
• Testing may be influenced by the position of the ground wire in the tested object.
c) Torch
• Press the ”torch“ button (3) to switch on/off the torch.
Activating/Reactivating the sound generator and the vibration motor
a) When switched off
Press and hold the on/off switch (5) until the LED indicator (6) turns green.
b) When switched on
Press and hold the on/off switch (5) until the LED indicator (6) flashes green.
To reactivate the sound generator and the motor, press and hold the on/off switch (5) until the
LED indicator (6) flashes green, the motor vibrates and the sound generator beeps.
Care and Cleaning
• Switch the device off before cleaning it.
Live components may be exposed, if the covers are opened or parts removed (un-
less this can be done without tools).
• Do not use scouring, chemical or aggressive cleaning agents such as benzene, alcohol or
similar chemicals. These might attack the surface of the device. Furthermore, the fumes are
explosive and hazardous to your health. Moreover, you should not use sharp-edged tools,
screwdrivers or metal brushes or the like for cleaning
• To clean the device, use a clean, slightly damp, fuzz-free, antistatic cleaning cloth.
Disposal
a) Product
Electronic devices are recyclable material and do not belong in the household
waste. Please dispose of the product, when it is no longer of use, according to the
current statutory requirements.
Remove the batteries from the device and dispose of them separately from it.
b) Batteries/Rechargeable Batteries
As the end user, you are required, by law (Battery Ordinance) to return all spent batteries/
rechargeable batteries; disposal of them in the household waste is prohibited.
Batteries/rechargeable batteries contain harmful materials and are labelled with the
symbol shown to indicate that disposal in the household waste is forbidden. The
symbols of the critical heavy metals are: Cd=cadmium, Hg=mercury, Pb=lead (the
marking can be seen on the battery/rechargeable battery, e.g. underneath the re-
fuse bin symbol shown on the left).
You can return your used batteries/rechargeable batteries free of charge at the official col-
lection points of your community, in our stores, or at places where batteries or rechargeable
batteries are sold.
In so doing you will fulfil your statutory obligations and contribute to the protection of the
environment.
