Completely read through the operating instructions, the "Warranty and Additional Information" booklet as well as the latest information under the internet link at the end of these instructions. Follow the instructions they contain. This document must be kept in a safe place and passed on together with the device.

Function / Application

Non-contact voltage tester for locating electrical voltages in cables, sockets, lampholders and fuses. Visual signals indicate the presence of a voltage.

Safety instructions

• The device must only be used in accordance with its intended purpose and within the scope of the specifications.
• The measuring tools and accessories are not toys. Keep out of reach of children.
• Modifications or changes to the device are not permitted, this will otherwise invalidate the approval and safety specifications.
• Do not expose the device to mechanical stress, extreme temperatures or significant vibration.
• Exercise extreme caution when working with voltages higher than 24 V/AC rms or 60 V/DC. Touching the electrical conductors at such voltages poses a risk of life-threatening electric shocks.
• If the device comes into contact with moisture or other conductive-residue, work must not be carried out under voltage. At and above voltages of 24 V/AC rms / 60 V/DC, the presence of moisture creates the risk of life-threatening electric shocks.
• Clean and dry the device before use.
• When using the device outdoors, make sure that the weather conditions are appropriate and/or that suitable protection measures are taken.
• In overvoltage category III (CAT III - 600 V), the voltage between the test device and earth must not exceed 600 V.
• Before taking any measurements, make sure that both the area tobe tested (e.g. a line), the test device and the accessories used (e.g. connection cable) are in proper working order. Test the device by connecting it to known voltage sources (e.g. a 230 V socket in the case of AC testing).
• The device must no longer be used if one or more of its functions fail or the battery charge is weak.
• Observe the safety precautions of local and national authorities relating to the correct use of the device and any prescribed safety equipment (e.g. electrician's safety gloves).
• Do not work alone in the vicinity of hazardous electrical installations and only under the guidance of a qualified electrician.
• The measuring device must not be used as a substitute for a two-pole zero potential test.

- The device measures the presence of electrostatic fields of sufficient strength. If the field strength is too low voltage may still be applied although no warning signal is given. The following list of factors that influence the field strength does not claim to be complete: shielding, cable insulation (type, thickness), measurement distance, insulation between user and earth, special socket designs, condition of tester and of batteries.

Safety instructions

Dealing with electromagnetic radiation and electromagnetic disruptions

• The measuring device complies with electromagnetic compatibility regulations and limit values in accordance with EMC-Directive 2014/30/EU.
• The measuring device complies with safety and electromagnetic compatibility regulations and limit values in accordance with Directive 2014/35/EU (Low Voltage Directive / LVD) and 2014/30/EU (Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive / EMC).
• Umarex GmbH & Co. KG hereby declares that the ActivePen complies with the essential requirements and other provisions of the European Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU (LVD) and the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 2014/30/EU. The EU Declaration of Conformity can be found in its entirety at the following address: http://laserliner.com/info?an=AAG
• Local operating restrictions – for example, in hospitals, aircraft, petrol stations or in the vicinity of people with pacemakers – may apply. Electronic devices can potentially cause hazards or interference or be subject to hazards or interference.

Symbols

Warning about hazardous electrical voltage: Unprotected live components inside the device housing are capable of posing a risk of electric shock.

Protection class II: The test device has reinforced or double insulation.

CAT III

Overvoltage category III: Equipment in fixed installations and for applications where specific requirements with regard to the reliability and availability of equipment have to be met, e.g. circuit-breakers in fixed installations and devices used in industrial applications which are permanently connected to the fixed installation.

Position the detector tip in the area to be tested (e.g. cable, socket. etc.).

Electrical outlet with a plug inserted, showing a warning symbol (no text or labels present)

The detector tip lights up to show a voltage is present.

To determine the L/N conductors, then check the neutral conductor, no signal should appear here.

!

For safety, check all three phase conductors (L1, L2, L3) for the presence of voltage!

!

Replace the batteries if the output is weak or reduced.

To make sure check the PE connection, the installation is not safe if a signal appears here. Observe the technical safety regulations for working on electrical systems, especially:

1. Safely isolating from power supply
2. Securing to prevent system being switched on again
3. Checking zero potential, two-pole
4. Earthing and short-circuiting
5. Securing and covering adjacent live components

!

Please be aware that even if a visual signal is not displayed, voltage may still be present. Differences in the design of the connection socket or the nature of the insulation (thickness and type) can affect functionality. Voltage cannot be detected behind panels and metal covers.

Information on maintenance and care

Clean all components with a damp cloth and do not use cleaning agents, scouring agents and solvents. Remove the battery(ies) before storing for longer periods. Store the device in a clean and dry place.
