4. Continuity Test Note The tested circuit may be live Connect both probes to the tested circuit An audible signal and activated LED Q indicates that the circuit is continuous R lt 400kQ Note Voltage polarization on L2 probe is positive 2 6 Phase Sequence Test Connect probe L1 to assumed phase L1 and probe L2 to assumed phase L2 Press the touch electrode The voltage is shown on the LED indicator LED amp turned on indicates in phase rotation LED A turned on indicates out of phase rotation After swapping the probes the opposite arrow should turn on Notes Phase sequence can be tested only in a 3 phase installation 2 7 Illumination of Measurement Point P 1 can provide illumination of the area around the point being measured This is impor tant in locations with poor light e g in distribution substations To turn on illumination press the but ton marked x 3 Battery Replacement The device is powered from two AAA 1 5V batteries Absence of an audible signal after short circuiting of probes or weak illumination after pressing the button is an indication that the batteries need to be replaced To do it follow the procedure below o Disconnect both probes from the tested circuit Using a tool or a coin unscrew the battery container by a counter clickwise movement and remove it Replace the battery paying attention to correct polarization

6. d for the user The device must not be used in dangerous environments e g where an explosion or fire hazards exist It is unacceptable to use the device if It is damaged and is partially or totally un usable Its test lead s insulation is damaged It was stored for a prolonged period of time in unsuitable conditions e g in high humidity After the device is moved from a cold to warm environment do not per form any measurements until the device reaches the ambient temperature ca 30min You must not use the device while the battery compartment is fully or partially open and you must not use a power supply unit other than described in this instruction Measurements should not last longer than 30s After a measurement that takes 30s the subsequent measurement can be taken not earlier than after 240s Bounding values indication is intended as a warning feature and shouldn t be used for measurements gt gt The device can be used in rainy conditions however at user s own responsibility It is recommended to use gauntlets Note 2 Measurements 2 1 Testing of the device Every time you want to use the device you need to check if it works properly e Test the voltage indicator using a voltage source with known voltage value e Short circuit the probes an audible signal should be generated and LED Q should be lit Notes Voltage indication function is active also with disc
7. harged or removed batteries All remaining functions require charged batteries 2 2 AC and DC Voltage Testing Connect both probes to the live object Voltage is shown on lt the LED indicator AC voltage is indicated by LED being turned on For DC voltage when probe L2 is connected to source s LED 4 is turned od otherwise LED mis turned on Notes In networks secured with 10mA or 30mA RCDs the RCD may get triggered while measur ing the voltage between L and PE To avoid this situation connect the device between L and N and after approx 5s move the probe from N to PE 2 3 RCD Testing In order to test an RCD with nominal current value of 10mA or 30mA you need to perform a voltage test between phase L and PE lead Note Between the last measurement and the test you need a break of at least 240s 2 4 Unipolar Phase Testing Connect probe L2 to the tested object Press the touch electrode LED being turned on indicates presence of voltage gt 50V Notes Note You must not touch the electrode of L1 test probe during phase testing During unipolar phase testing the results can be incorrect if the user is too well insulated from the ground e g while using insulated safety cloth ing or insulated work platform Unipolar phase testing can be an insufficient method to determine if the circuit is live You need to use a bipolar method 2 5 Circuit
