Carrying out Measurements
Preparation and Safety Measures
For any test measurement the safety references have
to be respected. Prior to any usage, a functional test
has to be carried out.
The test probe protectors (11) can be removed be-
fore tests. For removel pull the protectors from the
test probes.
The application of the test probe protectors may be
required by national regulations or standards (i.e.
GS38)
Function test / Self test:
Test the voltage tester on a known source.
The voltage testers may no longer be used if one or
several functions fails or if no functional reliability
can be detected.
The voltage display of the instruments works with-
out batteries at > 24 V (AC/DC).
The instrument is equipped with an internal load en-
abling the tripping of an residual current device
(RCD) of 10 mA or 30 mA.
For voltage tests (L towards PE) in systems with RCD,
the RCD may be tripped. To avoid RCD tripping push
the press buttons for RCD tripping (6 and 9)
together.
