Hinweise

Sicherheitshinweise

WARNUNG

Sources of danger are, for example, mechanical parts, which may cause serious personal injury.

Objects are also at risk (e.g. damage to the instrument).

WARNING

An electric shock can result in death or serious personal injury and endanger the function of objects (e.g. damage to the instrument).

WARNING

Never point the laser beam towards the eyes directly or indirectly via reflective surfaces. Laser radiation can cause irreparable damage to the eyes. The laser beam must be deactivated when testing close to people.

General safety notes

WARNING

Unauthorised modification and / or changes to the instrument are not permitted, for reasons of safety and approval (CE). In order to ensure safe and reliable operation of the instrument, you must always comply with the specifications of the safety instructions, warnings and the section “Intended use”.

WARNING

Comply with the following specifications before using the instrument:

Do not operate the instrument anywhere near electric welding equipment, induction heaters or other electromagnetic fields.
The instrument must be allowed to adjust to the new ambient temperature for approx. 30 minutes after abrupt temperature fluctuations and before use in order to stabilise the IR sensor.
Do not expose the instrument to high temperatures for a long period of time.
Avoid dusty and humid environments.
Measuring instruments and their accessories are not toys, and must be kept out of the reach of children!
When working in industrial facilities, comply at all times with the specifications of the accident prevention regulations for electrical systems and equipment as established by the employer's liability insurance association.

Comply with the five safety rules:

1 Disconnect
2 Ensure that the instrument cannot be switched back on again
3 Ensure isolation from the power supply (check that there is no voltage on both poles)
4 Earth and short-circuit
5 Cover adjacent live parts

Intended use

The instrument is intended strictly for use in applications described in the operating instructions. Any other usage is forbidden, and may result in accidents or destruction of the instrument. Any such usage will result in the immediate expiry of all guarantee and warranty claims on the part of the operator against the manufacturer.

Remove the batteries if the instrument is not in use for a long period of time, in order to protect the instrument from damage.

We assume no liability for damage to property or personal injury resulting from improper handling or non-compliance with the safety instructions. Any warranty claim expires in such cases. An exclamation mark in a triangle indicates safety instructions in the operating instructions. Read the instructions through before beginning initial commissioning.

Disposal

Dear Testboy customer, purchasing our product gives you the option of returning the instrument to suitable collection points for waste electrical equipment at the end of its lifespan.

The WEEE directive regulates the return and recycling of electrical appliances. Manufacturers of electrical appliances are obliged to take back and recycle all electrical appliances free of charge. Electrical devices may then no longer be disposed of through conventional waste disposal channels. Electrical appliances must be recycled and disposed of separately. All equipment subject to this directive is marked with this logo.

Disposal of used batteries

As an end user, you are legally obliged (battery law) to return all used batteries; disposal in the normal domestic waste is prohibited.

Batteries containing contaminant material are labelled with this symbol indicating that they may not be disposed of in normal domestic waste.

The abbreviations used for the crucial heavy metals are:

Cd = cadmium, Hg = mercury, Pb = lead.

You can return your used batteries to collection points in your community or anywhere where batteries are sold free-of-charge.

Certificate of quality

All activities and processes carried out within Testboy GmbH relating to quality are subject to ongoing monitoring within the framework of a Quality Management System. Furthermore, Testboy GmbH confirms that the testing equipment and instruments used during the calibration process are subject to an ongoing inspection process.

Declaration of conformity

The product conforms to the most recent directives. For more information, go to www.testboy.de

Operation

The Testboy® Pocket 100 is a universal multimeter. This measuring instrument has been manufactured to the actual safety specifications, and guarantees safe and reliable operation. The multimeter is a valuable aid for all standard measurement tasks in trade and industry as well as for electronics hobbyists.

Fundamentally connect the red test lead to the measurement socket "INPUT" [4] and the black test lead to the measurement socket "COM" [5].

On/Off

The measuring instrument switches on when the selector switch (3) is rotated to one of the measurement functions from the position OFF. To switch off, rotate the switch to the position(s) OFF. After approx. 5 minutes with no change in the measurement value the instrument switches off automatically.

Test value save button

By activating the button "HOLD" (6), the actual measurement value is saved and indicated on the display.

This is indicated by "H" on the display.

By again pressing the button, one returns to the measurement function.

Display lighting

By pressing the button "HOLD" (6) for a longer period, the backlighting for the display is switched on; to switch off, again press the button "HOLD" for a longer period.

AC V measurement

In order to measure AC voltages greater than 0.6 V, rotate the selector switch (3) to the position \~V and place the measurement probes on the test object. The multimeter automatically sets itself to the most favourable measurement range.

In order to measure AC voltages of less than 600 Millivolt, rotate the selector switch (3) to the position mV. Here, by pressing the button Select (2), it is switched from DC to AC. At more than 600 mV, OL.is indicated on the display.

Maintenance

The instrument does not require special maintenance when operated as specified in these operating instructions.

Cleaning

Use a damp cloth and mild household detergent to clean the instrument should it become soiled through daily use. Never use aggressive cleaning agents or solvents to clean the instrument.

WARNING

Make sure that no voltages of more than 600 V are applied at the test leads, also if the indication permits this. Damage to the electronics could occur!

Replacing the battery

Replace the batteries when the battery symbol appears on the display. Before replacing the battery, remove the test leads from the test object!

Only use batteries of the type specified.

Batteries must not be disposed of with normal domestic waste. There will be a collection point near you!

Rotate the locking at the rear through 180 degrees to the position “open”, open the battery cover and replace the discharged batteries.

Hereby, pay attention to the correct polarity of the batteries! Replace the battery compartment cover and lock by rotating through 180 degrees to the position “closed”.

Definition of the measurement categories:

Measurement category II: Measurements on circuits directly connected to low voltage networks electrically via plug. Typical short-circuit current < 10 kA

Measurement category III: Measurements within the building installation (stationary consumer devices with non-plug-in connection, distributor connection, permanently installed equipment in the distributor). Typical short-circuit current < 50 kA

Measurement category IV: Measurements at the source of the low voltage installation (meters, mains connection, primary overcurrent protection). Typical short-circuit current >> 50 kA
