Using Voltage Tester as a Single-Pole Phase Tester
The voltage tester can also be used as a single-pole
phase tester. Always hold the voltage tester by the
handles designed for this purpose. Never touch the
device beyond the handle ends. This phase test serves as a
quick test only. Check for zero potential with the twin-pole
measuring method as described above before doing work
on this circuit. Observe regulations regarding work on
electrical circuits.
Before beginning the test, check the conditions of the
batteries by touching the two tips together. Check for
correct functioning at a known alternating voltage source.
Contact test tip L2 with the measuring point to be tested. In
the response to a phase event (alternating voltage between
100 V to 690 V), the lighting symbol LED lights up.
The single-pole phase display can be adversely
affected by unfavorable ambient conditions
(electrostatic fields, good insulation, etc.). In all
cases, conduct an additional twin-pole voltage test.
