Voltage detection, non-contact (AC warning)
The non-contact voltage detector integrated in the meter is able
to detect AC voltages from 100 V to 600 V, thus enabling live
cables or cable breaks, for example, to be identified. Turn the rotary
switch to position „V" and run the voltage sensor along the object
to be tested (5 - 10 mm). The display lights up and the device starts
to vibrate if AC voltage is detected.
!
Non-contact voltage detection is no substitute for
conventional voltage testing. As the device detects
an electrical field, it will react even to static charge.

Voltage detection, single-pole phase test
For reasons of safety, you must disconnect the black measuring
lead from the COM socket on the device to take this measurement.
Turn the rotary switch to position „V". Connect the red test prod
to the phase or neutral conductor. The red LED only lights up if the
phase conductor is live. 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.
Replacing the fuse
17
To replace the fuse, first disconnect the test prods from their voltage
source and then from the device. Remove all screws from the rear
of the meter and then remove the battery. Open the housing and
replace the fuse with one of the same type and specification
(10 A /600 V). Close the housing and carefully screw the meter
back together.
