2.0 SAFETY MEASURES
The testers have been constructed and tested in
accordance with the safety regulations for voltage
testers and have left the factory in a safe and perfect
condition.
The operating instructions contain information and
references required for safe operation and use of
the tester. Before using the tester, read the operating
instructions carefully and follow them in all respects.
Depending on the internal impedance of the voltage
tester there will be a different capability of indicating
the presence or absence of operating voltage in case
of the presence of interference voltage.
A voltage tester of relatively low internal impedance,
compared to the reference value of 100 k�, will not
indicate all interference voltages having an original
voltage value above the ELV level. When in contact
with the parts to be tested, the voltage tester may
discharge temporarily the interference voltage to a
level below the ELV, but it will be back to the original
value when the voltage tester is removed.
When the indication “voltage present” does not
appear, it is highly recommended installing earthing
equipment before work.
A voltage tester of relatively high internal impedance,
compared to the reference value of 100 k�, may not
permit to clearly indicate the absence of operating
voltage in case of presence of interference voltage.
When the indication “voltage present” appears on
a part that is expected to be disconnected of the
installation, it is highly recommended conrming by
another means (e.g. use of an adequate voltage tester,
visual check of the disconnecting point of the electric
circuit, etc.) that there is no operating voltage on the
part to be tested and to conclude that the voltage
indicated by the voltage detector is an interference
voltage.
A voltage tester declaring two values of internal
impedance has passed a performance test of
managing interference voltages and is (within
technical limits) able to distinguish operating voltage
from interference voltage and has a means to directly
or indirectly indicate which type of voltage is present.

DANGERS
To avoid an electric shock, observe the precautions when
working with voltages exceeding 120 V (60 V) DC or
50 V (25 V) eff AC. In accordance with DIN VDE these
values represent the threshold contact voltages (values in
brackets refer to limited ranges, e.g. in agricultural areas).
The tester must not be used with the battery
compartment open
Before using the tester, ensure that the test lead and
device are in perfect working order. Look out e.g. for
broken cables or leaking batteries.
Hold the tester and accessories by the designated grip
areas only, the display elements must not be covered.
Never touch the test probes.
The tester may be used only within the specied
measurement ranges and in low-voltage installations up
to 1000VAC and 1500VDC.
The tester may be used only in the measuring circuit
category it has been designed for.
Before and after use, always check that the tester is in
perfect working order (e.g. on a known voltage source
such as the KEWPROVE3 opening unit).
Make sure that the cables tested for current are double
insulated.
The tester must no longer be used if one or more
functions fail or if no functionality is indicated.
It is not permitted to use the tester during rain or
precipitation.
An accurate display is guaranteed only within a
temperature range of -15°C to +55°C at relative air
humidity less than 85%.
If the safety of the user cannot be guaranteed, the tester
must be switched off and secured against unintentional
use.
Safety is no longer guaranteed e.g. in the following cases:
− obvious damage
− broken housing, cracks in housing
− if the tester can no longer perform the required
measurements/ tests
− stored for too long in unfavorable conditions
− damaged during transport
− leaking batteries
The tester complies with all EMC regulations.
Nevertheless it can happen in rare cases that electric
devices are disturbed by the electrical eld of the tester
or the tester is disturbed by electrical devices.
Never use the tester in explosive environment
Tester must be operated by trained users only
Operational safety is no longer guaranteed if the tester
is modied or altered.
The tester may be opened by an authorized service
technician only.
The current test may only be performed on double
insulated cables.
4.0 INTENDED USE
The tester may be used only under the conditions and for
the purposes for which it was designed. Therefore, observe
in particular the safety instructions, the technical data
including environmental conditions.
