Safety measures

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 References required for safe operation
and use of the tester. Before using the tester, read the operating instructions carefully and
follow them in all respects.

Danger of electric shock and other dangers

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 cables 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 measurement ranges and in low-voltage
installations up to 690 V.
The tester may be used only in the measuring circuit category it has been designed for.
Before and after use, always check that the tester is in perfect 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 precipitation.
A perfect display is guaranteed only within a temperature range of -15°C to +55°C at a
relative air humidity less than 85%.
