voltage category CAT IV with max. 600 V for phase-to-
earth measurements.
-
The voltage tester is designed for being used by qualified
electricians and under safe working conditions.
-
The LED step indicator is intended for indicating the volt-
age range. It is not intended for measuring purposes.
-
Creating a voltage tester for more than 30 seconds volt-
age (maximum duty cycle = 30 s)!
-
Do not dismantle the voltage tester!
-
The voltage tester must be protected against contamina-
tion and damaging of the housing surface.
-
To protect them against damaging, provide the probe tips
with the enclosed probe tip protector
voltage tester!
-
Please observe that the impedance (internal resistance) of
the voltage tester influences the indication of interference
voltages (capacitively or inductively induced)!
Depending on the internal impedance of the voltage detector,
there will be a different capability of indicating the presence
or absence of operating voltage in case of the presence of
interference voltage.
Low-impedance voltage tester (impedance < 100 kΩ), inter-
ference voltage is suppressed or reduced:
A voltage tester of relatively low internal impedance, compared
to the reference value of 100 kΩ, will not indicate all interfer-
ence voltages having an original voltage value above the ELV
level (50 V AC/ 120 V DC). When in contact with the parts
to be tested, the voltage tester may discharge temporarily the
interference voltage to a level below the ELV, but it will be back
to the original value when the voltage tester is removed.
When the indication "voltage present" does not appear, it is
highly recommended to install earthing equipment before start-
ing work.
High-impedance voltage tester (impedance > 100 kΩ): Inter-
ference voltage will not be suppressed or reduced:
A voltage tester of relatively high internal impedance, com-
pared to the reference value of 100 kΩ, may not permit to
clearly indicate the absence of operating voltage in case of
presence of interference voltage. When the indication "voltage
present" appears on a part that is expected to be disconnected
from the installation, it is highly recommended to confirm by
another means (e.g. use of an adequate voltage tester capable
of distinguishing between operating voltages and interference
voltages, visual inspection of the disconnecting point of the
electric circuit, etc.) that there is no operating voltage on the
part to be tested and to conclude that the voltage indicated by
the voltage tester is an interference voltage.
Voltage testers capable of distinguishing between oper-
ating voltage and interference voltage by means of load
connection:
A voltage tester stating two values of internal impedance has
passed a performance test of managing interference voltages
and is (within technical limits) able to distinguish operating volt-
age from interference voltage and has a means to directly or
indirectly indicate which type of voltage is present.

Functional test before use to ensure the absence of
voltage of an installation
-
Check
immediately before and after using it!
-
Test the voltage tester with familiar voltage sources, e.g.
with a 230 V socket.
-
Do not use the voltage tester, if the voltage indication, the
phase indication and the vibration motor are not working
properly!
