Switching the device on

1. Switch the device on by pressing the device power

button(1).

ð A brief acoustic signal is emitted, and the measuring

tip(7) lights up green.

Info

After switch-on, the device's measurement sensitivity

is always set to 200V to 1000V. In order to detect

lower ACvoltages, you have to select sensitivity level2

before starting the measurement.

Setting the measurement sensitivity

The device BE15 has two sensitivity levels.

Sensitivity level ACvoltage

measuring range

LED colour

1 200 V to 1000 V green

2 24 V to 1000 V orange

Please proceed as follows to change the sensitivity level:

1. Switch the device on.

ð After switch-on, the device's measurement sensitivity is

set to 200V to 1000V.

2. Briefly press the sensitivity selection button(1) once.

ð The measuring tip lights up orange, and sensitivity

level2 is set.

24 V – 1000 V 200 V – 1000 V

Checking the device's functionality before measuring

Note

Before commissioning, check the function of the

device at a known voltage source, e.g. on a known and

safe230V voltage source or on a known and safe

9Vbattery. Select the correct measuring range!

ü Charged batteries have been inserted into the device.

1. Switch the device on.

2. Hold the measuring tip (7) to a known source of voltage.

ð The measuring tip (7) flashes red.

ð A repetitive acoustic signal is emitted.

ð You can now use the device to detect ACvoltages.
