Continuity Check - VOLTCRAFT VC-56 Mode D'emploi

Continuity check

The VC-56 can also be used as a continuity tester.
Always hold the voltage tester by the handles designed
for this purpose (3 and 6). Never touch the device
beyond the handle ends.
The continuity tester switches itself on automatically
when the test starts, and switches itself back off when
the test has been completed.
Check for correct functioning before beginning the test.
If you connect the two test tips with each other, you
should heap a beep, and the continuity LED (E) should
light up.
If this is not the case, replace the batteries as described
under „Inserting/Changing the Batteries".
The continuity tester indicates resistances of up to
<400 kOhm.
Using the VC-56 as a
„single-pole" phase tester
The VC-56 can also be used as a „single-pole" phase
tester.
Always hold the voltage tester by the handles designed
for this purpose (3 and 6). Never touch the device
beyond the handle ends.
Before beginning the test, check the condition of the
batteries by connecting the two test tips with each
other. Check for correct functioning at a known alterna-
ting voltage source.
Contact test tip „L2" (11) with the measuring point to be
tested.
In the event of the phase (alternating current between
100 and 690V), the lightening symbol LED (B) lights up.
This „phase test" serves as a quick test
only. Please check again for zero potential
with the twin-pole measuring method before
you do any work on this circuit. Observe the
regulations regarding work with electrical
systems.
The „single-pole" phase display can be
adversely affected by unfavourable ambient
conditions (electrostatic fields, good insula-
tion etc.). In all cases, conduct an additio-
nal, twin-pole voltage test.
