Notes
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 or
the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
Verification of live-circuit should not be dependent on
testing with a contactless tester but only on the voltage test with a 2-pole voltage tester according to
EN61243-3.
The signal during voltage test has no information on
type and strength of voltage.
CAUTION!
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
IEC/EN/DIN VDE these values represent the threshold
contact voltages (values in brackets refer to limited
ranges, e.g. in agricultural areas).

Notes
The tester must not be used with the battery compartment open.
Before using the tester, ensure that the device is in
perfect working order. Look out e.g. for broken housing or leaking batteries.
Hold the tester and accessories by the designated grip
areas only.
The tester may be used only within the specified
measurement ranges and in low-voltage installations
up to 1000 V.
The tester may be used only in the measuring circuit
category it has been designed for.
CAUTION!
Before and after use, always check that the tester is in
perfect working order (e.g. on a known voltage
source).

Notes
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.
A perfect display is guaranteed within a temperature
range of 0°C to +40°C at relative air humidity less than
80%.
If the safety of the user cannot be guaranteed, the
tester must be switched off and secured against unintentional use.
CAUTION!
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 unfavourable conditions.
Damaged during transport.
Leaking batteries.

Notes
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.
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.
