The remaining three LEDs are arranged one above the other on the right side and signal the
measuring results of the individual measuring (measuring LED). When testing the cable,
each LED corresponds to a wire in the cable.
To switch the device on in battery mode, press and hold the button. The device switches on
automatically, if voltage is supplied through the micro USB socket. An optional power
supply unit (ref. 13620-2) is available for this purpose. Of course, any other 5V USB power
supply unit can be used. Micro-USB connection cables are optionally available (LN5589).
When the device will be switched on, a self-test will be carried out. If this is successful, all six
LED light up white.
The status of the battery is indicated by the measuring LED in battery mode.
Three measuring LED green -> battery OK
Two measuring LED yellow -> battery weak
One measuring LED red -> battery very weak
If the battery is very weak, it should be replaced or the device should be supplied with
voltage via the micro-USB connection. The device can be used, even if the battery is very
weak. However the battery can become too weak at any time (three red flashing mode LED)
and can no longer be used.
In battery mode, the device is automatically switched off after 30 seconds of inactivity. To
switch off the device manually, hold the button down until all three mode LED are off. As
soon as you release the button, the device is switched off. If the device is supplied with
voltage via USB, it always remains switched on and is always ready for use.
Check mode 1: Epee
Connect the epee to a body cord on the right side of the tester. Press the button on the
device and hold it down until the left mode LED lights up red. Release the button now. The
upper measuring LED signals the resistance of the epee wire. The LED lights up green for a
resistance <= 3.0 Ohm
yellow for a resistance between 3.1 ohms and 5 ohms
red for a resistance between 5.1 ohms and 10 ohms.
The LED does not light up if the resistance is > 10.0 Ohm.
In addition, a resistance <= 3.0 ohms is indicated by an acoustic signal. To test the insulation
of the tip / wire to the blade / guard, hold down the tip contact of the weapon and bend the
blade in all directions. If the lower measuring LED lights up red, there was a short connection
between the tip / wire and the blade / guard. This signaling remains visible until the
measurements are reset by briefly pressing the button. Even the shortest connections can be
discovered and signaled.
