Function/Application
Non-contact tester for locating electrical voltage (230 VAC) in cables,
sockets, bulb sockets, fuses, control cabinet and system components.
Visual and acoustic signals as well as vibration indicate whether a
voltage is present.
Safety instructions
• The device must only be used in accordance with its intended
purpose and within the scope of the specifications.
• The measuring tools and accessories are not toys.
Keep out of reach of children.
• Modifications or changes to the device are not permitted, this will
otherwise invalidate the approval and safety specifications.
• Do not expose the device to mechanical stress, extreme
temperatures or significant vibration.
• If you are working with voltages higher than 24 V/AC / 60 V/DC,
exercise extreme caution. Touching the electrical conductors at
such voltages poses a risk of life-threatening electric shocks.
• If the device comes into contact with moisture or other conductive-
residue, work must not be carried out under voltage. At and above
voltages of 24 V/AC / 60 V/DC, the presence of moisture creates
the risk of life-threatening electric shocks.
• Clean and dry the device before use.
• When using the device outdoors, make sure that the weather
conditions are appropriate and/or that suitable protection
measures are taken.
• In overvoltage category IV (CAT IV - 1000 V), the voltage between
the test device and earth must not exceed 1000 V.
• Before taking any measurements, make sure that both the area to
be tested (e.g. a line), the test device and the accessories used
(e.g. connection cable) are in proper working order. Test the device
by connecting it to known voltage sources (e.g. a 230 V socket in
the case of AC testing).
• The device must no longer be used if one or more of its functions
fail or the battery charge is weak.
• Observe the safety precautions of local and national authorities
relating to the correct use of the device and any prescribed safety
equipment (e.g. electrician‘s safety gloves).
• Do not work alone in the vicinity of hazardous electrical installations
and only under the guidance of a qualified electrician.
• The measuring device must not be used as a substitute for a
two-pole zero potential test.
