VOLTCRAFT MS-18/2 Notice D'emploi page 19

Direct voltage test (1.2 to 35VDC)
- With this function the MS18-2 identifies the polarity of direct volt-
age sources such as batteries, rechargeable batteries, etc.
Touch the pole of the battery to be tested with one finger. Touch
the other pole of the battery with the measuring tip (1) (touch bat-
tery compartment lid).

Guide the measuring tip of the MS18-2 along
an electric cable, electrical outlet or the device.
If there is voltage, (plug in socket, device
switched on, etc.) the LED (2) starts blinking. In
this way e.g., interruptions in cables etc. can be
detected simply and quickly.
Note: to increase the sensitivity, the battery
compartment lid can be touched with the fin-
ger.
This test can not be carried out with shielded
cables.
To carry out a quick test on electrical outlets,
power supply units or PVC insulated cables
hold the MS18-2 on the measuring tip (1) and
guide the grip near the device to be tested.
If there is voltage, the LED (2) will start blinking.
