Transport and storage
Note
If you store or transport the device improperly, the
device may be damaged.
Note the information regarding transport and storage of
the device.
Transport
For transporting the device, use the bag included in the scope of
delivery in order to protect the device from external influences.
Storage
When the device is not being used, observe the following
storage conditions:
• dry and protected from frost and heat
• protected from dust and direct sunlight
• with a cover to protect it from invasive dust if necessary
• The storage temperature is the same as the range given in
the Technical data chapter.
Operation
Function test
Check the device for reliable functioning at a known voltage
source before each voltage detection.
Note
For technical reasons, the instrument cannot display
DCvoltages within the range of 0V to approx.±6V.
Voltage detection
Note
Note that the actual voltage can be up to 30% lower
than the voltage indicated on the display. For example:
If a voltage value of 36V is displayed, the actual
voltage can have its range between 25.2 and 36V (see
display tolerance).
Info
Please note that you screw the supplied tips onto both
test probes before carrying out the voltage detection on
the socket. This ensures an easier voltage detection on
the socket.
1. Always hold the voltage detector by the insulated handles
and never reach behind the gripping areas.
