2. 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.

3. Danger of electric shock and other 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 specified measurement ranges and in low-voltage

installations up to 690 V.
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).
The tester must no longer be used if one or more functions fail or if no functionality is

indicated.

6

MD 1060, MD 1160

It is not permitted to use the tester during rain or precipitation.
A perfect display is guaranteed only within a temperature range of -15°C to +55°C at an

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 field 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 modified or altered.
The tester may be opened by an authorized service technician only.

4. 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.

6. Preparation for tests

6.1 Auto-power-on/ switching on

• The tester switches on when it detects continuity, an AC or DC voltage above approx. 10V
or a live phase on L2 (single pole test).

• It can be switched on with the torch light button.

6.2 Auto-power off

• Tester is automatically powered off after 5 sec when there is no signal contacted to the
probes.

• The torch light switches off after approx. 10 sec.

7. Conducting Tests

7.1 Voltage test

• Connect both probes to the object under test.

• The voltage is indicated by LEDs and LCD (MD 1160 only)

• Buzzer sounds when a threshold voltage of approx. 38VAC or approx. 100 VDC is

exceeded.

• Voltage polarity is indicated in following manner.

 AC: + and – 12V LED are on
 +DC: +12V LED is on
 -DC: -12V LED is on

When the L2 probe + is the positive (negative) potential, the Polarity indication LED

indicates “+DC” (“-DC”).

During voltage test, L or R LED may light up.
In case of empty batteries, the ELV LED lights up >50VAC, >120VDC

7.2 Single-pole phase test

Function of this test may not be fully achieved if the insulation condition/ grounding

conditions of user or of the equipment under test aren’t good enough. Verification of live­circuit shouldn’t be dependent on this Single-pole phase test only, but on the voltage test.

• Hold the tester good in your hand. Connect the “L2 +” probe to the object under test.
Live circuit LED lights up and buzzer sounds when a voltage of approx. 100V AC or more
exists in the object under test. (Pol≥100VAC).

7.3 Phase rotation test

• L LED and R LED for Phase rotation test may operate on various wiring systems, but
effective testing result can be obtained only on three-phase 4-wire system.

• Hold the tester good in your hand and connect both probes to the object under test.

• Phase-to-phase voltage is indicated by Voltage LEDs.

• R LED lights up for Right rotary field.

• L LED lights up for Left rotary field.

• Measurement principle: The instrument detects the phase rising order regarding the user as

earth.

Function of this test may not be fully achieved if the insulation condition/ grounding

conditions of user or of the equipment under test is not good enough.

MD 1060, MD 1160

7.4 Continuity test

Make sure the object under test isn’t live.

• Connect both test probes to the object under test. Continuity LED lights up and buzzer
sounds continuously to indicate continuity

7.5 Torch light

• Pressing the torch light button to turn on the light and after approx. 10s it will turn itself off

8. Battery Replacement

Remove the probes from any testing point, when opening the Battery case. Batteries are

dead when the continuity test with both test probes connected cannot be done anymore. A
battery symbol in the LCD indicates low battery.

Follow the procedure below and replace batteries with new ones (type IEC LR03 1.5V).

• Unscrew the battery door, e.g. with a coin.

• Pull out the Battery door and replace the batteries. Insert new batteries according to the

engraving on the Battery door.

• Re-assemble battery door.

Confirm that the Battery door case is properly locked prior to measurements.
