WARNING!
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.
CAUTION!
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.
CAUTION!
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).
