Self-Test
To avoid wrong readings, the operability of the multitester needs to
be checked by a self-test before each use and after each change of
batteries. Please check the device for damage(s) such as e.g.,
breaks on the housing etc.
Alternating Voltage Detection
a. Direct contact (70 to 250V alternating voltage)
Touch the electric conductor (phase) with the measuring tip (1). If
the LED (2) lights up, there is voltage.
Note: during this test the battery compartment lid must not be
touched with the finger.
b. Indirect contact (70 to 500V alternating voltage)
During this test the tip of the tester must not touch the
tested line (device) directly.
Please note that the LED (2) only goes out after approx.
0.5 to 2 seconds after removing the device from the
voltage because of the temporary memory function.
Touch the tip (1) of the tester with one hand
and at the same time touch the battery com-
partment lid (3) with the other hand.
When the red LED (2) starts blinking, the multi-
tester is in working order and can be used.
In case the red LED does not blink, the
device must not be used. If necessary
change the batteries.
