INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Preparation for tests
Auto Power On / Switching On
•
The tester switches on when it detects continuity, an AC or DC voltage
above approx. 6 V or a live phase on L2 (single pole test).
•
It can be switched on with the torch light button.
Auto Power Off
•
Tester is automatically powered off after 30 sec when there is no signal
contacted to the probes.
•
The torch light switches off after approx. 30 sec.
Self-test
•
When voltage tester is off short both probes L1 and L2, hold probes
shorted.
•
All LEDs, all symbols on LCD, buzzer and vibration will be on for 2 s.
•
Self-test will start automatically when replacing batteries.
If some of LEDs is not ON, or some LCD symbols are not ON or buzzer
or torch light is not ON, the device is not safe for use. Replace the battery
and start Selftest again. If some of these indications are not ON again, the
device is not safe for use and must NOT be used.
Do not use tester while Self-test procedure is activated.
Conducting tests
Voltage test
•
Connect both probes to the object under test.
•
The voltage is indicated by LEDs and LCD.
•
Buzzer sounds and vibration is on when a threshold voltage of 50 V AC or
approx. 120 V DC is exceeded.
•
Voltage polarity is indicated in following manner.
AC: + and – 12 V LED are on
+DC: +12 V LED is on
-DC: -12 V LED is on (and "-" is shown on LCD)
When the L2 probe + is the positive (negative) potential, the polarity indica-
tion LED indicates "+DC" ("-DC").
During voltage test, L or R LED may light up.
In case of empty batteries, the ELV LED lights up > 50 V AC/DC, > 120 V
AC/DC.
Low voltage mode – 0.5 V - 1,000 V AC / 1,500 V DC
•
Press torch button repeated until LCD shows < 10 V symbol.
•
In low voltage mode it is possible to measure AC and DC voltage from 0.5
V.
•
Connect both probes to the object under test.
Continuity mode is disabled in low voltage mode.
