• Prior to and after each measurement, check your instrument and the measuring leads for
damages. Never take any measurements if the protecting insulation is defective or the
measuring instrument is damaged otherwise.
• Be especially careful when dealing with voltages higher than 50 V/AC or 75 V/DC. Even at
such voltages you can get a life-threatening electric shock if you come into contact with live
electric wires.
• The measuring instrument is suitable for use in dry or damp conditions. Avoid use in a damp
or wet environment.
• Always ensure that the test probes are perfectly clean. Dirty or even corroded test clips can
lead to an incorrect measurement.
• The measuring tips must only be touched at the handles provided for this purpose. Otherwise,
there is danger of an electric shock.
• Never exceed the highest permissible voltage values. If the stated values are exceeded, the
product becomes damaged and a fatal hazard exists. (See chapter “Technical Data”).
• The recovery time as specified in “Technical Data” must always be adhered to. Otherwise, the
product could be damaged.
• The voltage values specified are nominal voltages.
• If the neutral wire (N) or the earth wire (PE) is interrupted, no reading is shown.
• Use the measurement device only within the admissible ambient conditions (see chapter
“Technical Data”).
• Always attach the measuring tip cover if you are no longer using the device.
• Store the measurement device in a dry, dust-free location when it is no longer used.
• When using the voltage tester in the measurement category CAT III and CAT IV, it is recom-
mended to attach the plastic protective covers to the measuring tip to decrease the length of
the free contact tips. This reduces the risk of possible short cut during testing.
• CAT I Measurement category I for measuring electrical and electronic devices that are
not directly supplied with mains voltage (e.g. battery-operated devices, etc.).
• CAT II Measurement category II for measuring electrical and electronic devices that are
directly supplied with mains voltage via a mains plug.
• CAT III Measurement category III for measuring building installations (e.g. mains sockets
or sub-distributors).
• CAT IV Measurement category IV for measuring the source of low-voltage installations
(e.g. main distribution, main transfer point of the utility company) and outdoors.
generAl BAttery instructions
• Batteries should be kept out of the reach of children.
• Do not leave batteries lying around in the open; there is a risk of them being swallowed by children or
pets. If they are swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.
• Leaking or damaged batteries can lead to caustic burning of the skin. Therefore, use suitable protective
gloves.
• Batteries must not be short-circuited, opened or thrown into fire. There is a risk of explosion.
• Make sure that the polarity is correct when inserting the batteries (pay attention to plus/+ and minus/–).

VoltAge tester “Vc-62”
item no. 1313884
intenDeD use
The 2-pole voltage tester can be used to measure and display direct and alternating voltages in an electri-
cal low-voltage circuit. The product also has an acoustic and visual circuit indicator. Power is supplied by
two batteries of type micro/AAA included in the delivery.
The voltage tester complies with the standard for two-pole voltage testers of 6 - 600 V CAT III 600 V
according to EN 61243-3:2010 /EN 60529 as well as protection class IP64 (dust and spray water). The
product is suitable for use in dry or damp conditions. Use during rain or other precipitation is not permitted.
The voltage tester is designed for use by electrically skilled persons using personal protective equipment.
The measuring instrument must not be operated when the battery compartment is open.
Measuring under adverse ambient conditions such as dust and flammable gases, vapours or solvents is
not permitted.
Always observe the safety instructions and all other information included in these operating instructions.
This product complies with the applicable national and European requirements. All names of companies
