correct functioning of the buzzer and of the yellow
LED Ω K for continuity.
- Please replace the batteries as soon as the
buzzer, the yellow LED Ω K for continuity or the
single-pole phase indication 8 do not work any-
more.
- The LED step indicator 9 works independently of
the battery voltage.
- Test the voltage tester with familiar voltage
sources, e.g. with a 230 V socket.
- Do not use the voltage tester, if the voltage indi-
cation and the phase indication are not working
properly!
4. Checking the absence of voltage of an installa-
tion (fig ure C/ D/ E)
For checking the installation, please test the absence
of voltage by checking the voltage indication and the
single-pole phase indication (the phase indication only
works in an earthed AC voltage mains). The instal-
lation is only free of voltage, if both test circuits (vol-
tage indication and phase indication) are signaling the
absence of voltage.
- Apply the two probe tips 2 and 3 to the system
parts to be tested.
- The level of voltage applied is indicated by means
of the LED step indicator 9 .
- Alternating voltages (AC) are indicated by the
+ LED and the - LED lighting up simultaneously.
- Direct voltages (DC) are indicated by the + LED
or the - LED lighting up. The polarity indication J
shows the polarity (+ or -) applied to the positive
test probe 3 .
5. External conductor test (phase indication)
(figure E)
- Fully grasp the handles 5 and 6 , in order to
en sure a capacitive coupling to earth.
- Apply the probe tip 3 to the system part to be
tested.
During the single-pole external conductor test
(phase in dication), make absolutely sure not to
touch the probe tip 2 and that it remains contact-
less.
- If the red LED  8 lights up on the display, the
external conductor (phase) of an AC voltage is
applied to this sys tem part.
Note:
The single-pole external conductor test (phase indi-
cation) can be carried out in an earthed mains from
230 V, 50 Hz/ 60 Hz (phase to earth) on. Protective
clothing and insulating condi tions on site might impair
the function.
Attention!
The absence of voltage must be determined additio-
nally by means of a two-pole test.
6. Continuity test (figure F)
- The continuity test must be carried out on sys-
tem parts which are free of voltage. If necessary,
capacitors have to be discharged.
- Apply the two probe tips 2 and 3 to the system
parts to be tested.
- In case of continuity (R < 100 kΩ), an acoustic
signal is emitted and the yellow LED Ω K for con-
tinuity lights up.
- If a voltage is applied to the test point, the voltage
tester automatically switches over to the voltage
test function and indicates this function.
7. Cable break detector (figure G)
- The cable break detector is intended for the non-
contact localization of cable breaks on exposed
live lines.
- Fully grasp the display handle 6 and pass the
detector 4 over a live line (e.g. a cable reel or a
11/ 2018

chain of lights) from the feeding point (phase) in
direction of the other end of the line.
- As long as the line is not interrupted, the yellow
LED Ω K for continuity lights.
- The point of the cable break has been localized as
soon as the yellow LED Ω K goes out.
Note:
The cable break detector can be used in earthed
mains from 230 V, 50 Hz/ 60 Hz (phase to earth) on.
Protective clothing and insulating conditions on site
might impair the function.
8. Battery replacement (figure H)
- Do not apply voltage to the device when the bat-
tery com partment 7 is open!
- The battery compartment 7 is located in the bot-
tom part of the display handle 6 .
- Unscrew the screw of the battery compartment 7
until the battery compartment 7 can be pulled off
in downward direction over the connecting cable.
Replace the exhausted batteries by two new bat-
teries of type AAA (LR03). Make sure that the new
batteries are inserted with correct polarity!
- Screw the battery compartment 7 back onto the
display handle 6 .

well by means of a dry cloth.
If the device is stored for a longer period of time,
remove the batteries from the device!
