Voltage detection, non-contact (AC warning)
8
The non-contact voltage detector
integrated in the meter is able to detect
AC voltages from 100 V to 600 V. Even
when the device is switched off, live
cables or cable breaks still have to
be reckoned with. Run the voltage
sensor along the object to be tested
(5 - 10 mm). The display lights up
if AC voltage is detected.
Non-contact voltage detection is no substitute for
!
conventional voltage testing. As the device detects
an electrical eld, it will react even to static charge.
Voltage detection, single-pole phase test
Connect the red test prod to the phase or neutral conductor. The
red LED only lights up if the phase conductor is live. This function
also works if the device is switched off. When the single-pole phase
test is carried out on the outer conductor, the indicator function may
be adversely affected under certain conditions (e.g. when insulating
personnel protective equipment is used or at insulated locations).
The single-pole phase test is not suitable for checking for zero
!
voltage. To do this, you need to carry out a two-pole phase
test.
Flashlight function
9
To switch on the ashlight, press and hold down the corresponding
button. The light switches itself off automatically as soon as the
button is released.
Automatic fuse
10
The meter is equipped with an electronic auto-reset fuse in all
ranges and can intercept switching errors under normal operating
conditions. If the electronic fuse trips, de-energise the electrical
circuit and disconnect the meter. Rectify the switching error. The
device will resume normal operation when restarted.
Calibration
11
The meter needs to be calibrated and tested on a regular basis to
ensure it produces accurate measurement results. We recommend
carrying out calibration once a year.
