Safety
Read this manual carefully before starting or using the
device. Always store the manual in the immediate vicinity
of the device or its site of use!
Warning
Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may
result in electric shock, fire and/ or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
• Do not use the device in potentially explosive rooms.
• Do not use the device in aggressive atmosphere.
• Protect the device from permanent direct sunlight.
• Do not remove any safety signs, stickers or labels from the
device. Keep all safety signs, stickers and labels in legible
condition.
• Do not open the device.
• The device is only designed to display the voltage range
and is not suitable for measuring purposes.
• Immediately before and after each use, test the voltage
detector for proper functioning at a known voltage source
such as a 9 V battery. The voltage detector must not be
used if one or several indications on the voltage detector
fail or if the functionality of the device cannot be clearly
recognized.
• The voltage detector may only be used within the specified
rated voltage range and in electrical installations of up to
400V.
• The voltage detector may only be used in circuits of
overvoltage category CATIII with max. 400V conductor to
earth.
• When using the voltage detector, do not touch the test
probes, and only hold the device by the insulated handles.
• The voltage detector must not be used when the battery
compartment is open.
• At locations with load background noises, check whether
the acoustic signals of the device can be perceived before
using the device.
• For technical reasons, the device cannot display voltages
of less than 6VAC/DC.
• Check the device for proper functioning before and after
each use. The device must not be used if any of the
LEDindicators does not function correctly or if the correct
functionality of the device cannot be clearly recognized.
• Observe the maximum permissible duty cycle of
30seconds for voltage detection. The device must never
be applied to voltages for more than 30seconds.
