(the phase indication only works in an earthed AC voltage
mains) and the vibration motor (the vibration motor is activated
by actuating both push-buttons). The installation is only free
of voltage, if all three test circuits (voltage indication, phase
indication and vibration motor) are signaling the absence of
voltage.
-
Apply the two probe tips L1/+
parts to be tested.
-
The level of voltage applied is indicated by means of the
LED step indicator
-
A flashing LED step indicates that the voltage value of this
LED step has not been reached (except for LED 12 V/
24 V). A LED step will start to light from 75 % to 85 % of
the step value onwards.
-
Alternating voltages (AC) are indicated by the + 12 V LED
and the - 12 V LED lighting up simultaneously.
-
Direct voltages (DC) are indicated by the + 12 V LED
or the - 12 V LED lighting up. The polarity indication
shows the polarity (+ or -) applied to the probe tip L2/+
-
To differentiate between low-energy and high-energy volt-
ages (e.g. capacitively induced interference voltages), an
internal load in the voltage tester can be connected by ac-
tuating both push-buttons (see section 5).
Overload indication
If the voltage applied to the probe tips L1/-
is higher than the admissible nominal voltage, all LEDs of
the step indicator

. Here, voltage is applied to a vibration motor (motor with
unbalanced mass) in the display handle L2
From approx. 200 V on, this motor is set in rotary motion.
With the voltage increasing, the motor's speed and vibration
increases as well. The duration of the test with a lower inter-
nal resistance (load test) depends on the level of voltage to
be measured. In order to avoid an inadmissible warming of
the device, it is provided with a thermal protection (controlled
reduction). With this controlled reduction, the speed of the vi-
bration motor is reduced and the internal resistance increases.
The load connection (with both push-buttons being actuated)
can be used ...
-
to suppress reactive voltages (inductive and capacitive
voltages),
-
to charge capacitors,
- to trip 10/30 mA RCD safety switches. The tripping of the
RCD safety switch is done by testing the external conduc-
tor (phase indication) to PE (earth). (figure D)

tem part.
Note:
The single-pole external conductor test (phase indication)
can be carried out in an earthed mains from 230 V, 50/60 Hz
(phase to earth) on. Protective clothing and insulating condi-
tions on site might impair the function.
Attention!
The absence of voltage can only be determined by means of
a two-pole test.

-
Apply the probe tips L1/-
conductors (phases) and check whether the external con-
ductor voltage of e.g. 400 V is applied.
-
A clockwise phase sequence (phase L1 before phase L2)
is given, if the green LED ► of the phase sequence indica-
tion

-
A counter-clockwise phase sequence (phase L2 before
phase L1) is given, if the green LED ◄ of the phase se-
quence indication
-
The phase sequence test always requires a countercheck
with the probe tips L1/-
ing which the phase sequence must change.
Note:
The phase sequence test can be carried out in an earthed
three-phase mains from 400 V - 900 V, 50/60 Hz (phase to
phase) on. Protective clothing and insulating conditions on site
might impair the function.

Continuity test (figure H)
-
The continuity test must be carried out on system parts
which are free of voltage. If necessary, capacitors have to
be discharged.
-
Apply the two probe tips L1/-
parts to be tested.
- In case of continuity (R < 100 kΩ), an acoustic signal is
emitted and the yellow LED Ω
-
This function also can be used to determine the conducting
and non-conducting direction of semiconductor components.
-
If a voltage is applied to the test point, the voltage tester
automatically switches over to the voltage test function
and indicates this function.
