The testers have been constructed and tested in accordance
with the safety regulations for voltage testers and have left
the factory in a safe and perfect condition.
The operating instructions contain information and Ref-
erences required for safe operation and use of the tester.
Before using the tester, read the operating instructions
carefully and follow them in all respects.
To avoid an electric shock, observe the precautions when
working with voltages exceeding 120 V (60 V) DC or 50 V
(25 V) eff AC. In accordance with DIN VDE these values
represent the threshold contact voltages (values in brackets
refer to limited ranges, e.g. in agricultural areas).
The tester must not be used with the battery compartment
open
Before using the tester, ensure that the test lead and device
are in perfect working order. Look out e.g. for broken ca-
bles or leaking batteries.
Hold the tester and accessories by the designated grip areas
only, the display elements must not be covered. Never touch
the test probes.
The tester may be used only within the specified measure-
ment ranges and in low-voltage installations up to 690 V.
The tester may be used only in the measuring circuit cate-
gory it has been designed for.
Before and after use, always check that the tester is in per-
fect working order (e.g. on a known voltage source).
The tester must no longer be used if one or more functions
fail or if no functionality is indicated.
It is not permitted to use the tester during rain or precipita-
tion.
A perfect display is guaranteed only within a temperature
range of -15°C to +55°C at an relative air humidity less
than 85%.
If the safety of the user cannot be guaranteed, the tester
must be switched off and secured against unintentional use.
