Safety instructions
The instrument must only be used by qualified electricians who are familiar with national and
international laws, provisions and standards.
• In case of damage, the testing instrument must not be operated.
• The testing instrument must only be used as described in these operating instructions.
• The testing instrument generates voltages up to 1,000 V at a current of 1 mA.
• Only the mains plug adapter supplied may be used for charging and in operation.
• The testing instrument must not be subjected to any humidity.
Intended use
The V-TEST testing instrument is intended for regular testing of the protective function of surge protection
devices, e.g. for periodic testing in accordance with IEC 62305 (DIN VDE 185, Part 3). It may only be used
for the following Weidmüller surge protection devices:
• VARITECTOR SPC (VSPC series) pluggable surge protection
• PU I and PU II series energy-side surge protection (PU II modules < 750 V). PU II LCF cannot be
tested.
The testing instrument can be used in an industrial environment, but not in Ex areas.
In the case of the surge protection module 8951510000 VSPC 1CL PW 24V, the V-Test is only
used to test the monitoring circuit for the I&C section. The monitoring circuit for energy signals
monitors itself continuously. A malfunction of the protective elements in this circuit is indicated by
the specimen with the red LED.
