Intended Use - Gossen MetraWatt METRAVOLT 12D+L Mode D'emploi

1. Application
The METRAVOLT 12D+L is a two-pole voltage tester
with digital display. It complies with DIN EN 61243-3
(VDE 0682 part 401) and is provided with continuity
and phase tester, polarity tester and phase sequence
indicator. With this device you can determine the
existence and the strength of AC and DC voltages
within a range of 24 V to 1000 V at frequencies up
to 4 kHz.
With the integrated continuity tester you can also
measure resistances within a range of 0 to1999 kΩ.
Voltage and resistance values appear in digital
format on the display. Additionally, three LEDs
indicate voltage and rotating field as well as one LED
and one sound generator continuity. Due to its high
protection category IP 65 the METRAVOLT 12D+L
can be used in precipitation.

1.1 Intended use

This device is intended for use in applications as
described in the operating instructions only. Thus,
it is imperative to observe the notes on safety and
the technical data in conjunction with the ambient

ditions, and to assure safe use, it is imperative that
you read these operating instructions thoroughly
and carefully before placing your instrument
into service, and that you follow all instructions
contained therein.
The instrument provides a high level of safety by
means of two series resistors immediately behind
the test electrodes as well as two absolutely inde-
pendently working test systems.
- LV-indication of existent voltage indicated
by one LED, even without battery.
- digital indicator for exact test values.
VDE test authorities have granted the application of
the VDE GS-symbol for the METRAVOLT 12D+L.
