Spannungsprüfer BE17
• A voltage detector indicating two internal impedance values has passed
the design test for handling interference voltages and – within the
technical limits – is able to differentiate between operating voltage and
interference voltage, and to directly or indirectly indicate the existing
type of voltage.
• Observe the storage and operating conditions as given in the Technical
data chapter.
Intended use
Only use the device to indicate voltage ranges between 12 and 400VDC or 12
and 400VAC whilst adhering to the technical data. The device may be used in
facilities of overvoltage category3 (CATIII= domestic installations).
To use the device for its intended use, only use accessories and spare parts
which have been approved by Trotec.
Improper use
Do not use the device in potentially explosive atmospheres, when wet or very
humid.
Unauthorized modifications of the device are forbidden.
Personnel qualifications
People who use this device must:
• master the 5safety rules (1De-energise, 2Secure against restart,
3Verify de-energised state (bipolar), 4Earth and short-circuit, 5Cover
neighbouring live parts).
• use the voltage detector following safe working procedures.
• be aware of the dangers that occur when working with electric devices
in damp areas.
• take measures to protect themselves from direct contact with live parts.
• have read and understood the operating manual, especially the Safety
chapter.
Electrically skilled person
Electrically skilled personnel must be able to read and understand electric
circuit diagrams, to put electrical systems into service and to maintain them,
to wire control cabinets, to ensure the functionality of electrical components
and to identify possible hazards from electrical and electronic systems.
Residual risks
Warning of electrical voltage

Do not use the device when wither the device or your hands are
damp or wet!
Do not use the device when the battery compartment or the
housing is open.
Warning of electrical voltage
Electric shock due to contact with live parts! Do not touch any live
parts. Secure neighbouring live parts by covering them or by
switching them off.
Warning
Risk of suffocation!
Do not leave the packaging lying around. Children may use it as a
dangerous toy.
Warning
The device is not a toy and does not belong in the hands of
children.
Warning
Dangers can occur at the device when it is used by untrained
people in an unprofessional or improper way! Observe the
personnel qualifications!
Caution
Keep a sufficient distance from heat sources.
Note
Test the device for proper functioning at a known voltage source
before each measurement.
Note
To prevent damages to the device, do not expose it to extreme
temperatures, extreme humidity or moisture.
Note
Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents to clean the device.
Disposal
The icon with the crossed-out waste bin on waste electrical or electronic
equipment stipulates that this equipment must not be disposed of with the
household waste at the end of its life. You will find collection points for free
return of waste electrical and electronic equipment in your vicinity. The
addresses can be obtained from your municipality or local administration. For
further return options provided by us please refer to our website
www.trotec24.com.
The separate collection of waste electrical and electronic equipment aims to
enable the re-use, recycling and other forms of recovery of waste equipment
as well as to prevent negative effects for the environment and human health
caused by the disposal of hazardous substances potentially contained in the
equipment.
