3 LCD General safety notes

WARNING Unauthorized changes or modifications of the instru- ment are forbidden – such changes put the approval (CE) and safety of the instrument at risk. In order to operate the instrument safely, you must always ob- serve the safety instructions, warnings and the infor- mation in the “Proper and Intended Use” Chapter.

WARNING Please observe the following information before using the instrument: | Do not operate the instrument in the proximity of electrical welders, induction heaters and other elec- tromagnetic fields. | Do not expose the instrument to high temperatures for a long period of time. | Avoid dusty and humid surroundings. | Measurement instruments and their accessories are not toys. Children should never be allowed access to them! | In industrial institutions, you must follow the acci- dent prevention regulations for electrical facilities and equipment, as established by your employer's liability insurance organization.Notes Testavit

Please observe the following five safety rules: 1 Disconnect. 2 Ensure that the instrument cannot be turned back on again. 3 Ensure isolation from the main supply voltage (check that there is no voltage on both poles). 4 Earth and short-circuit. 5 Cover neighbouring parts that are under live elec- trical load.

Proper and intended use This instrument is intended for use in applications described in the operation manual only. Any other usage is considered im- proper and non-approved usage and can result in accidents or the destruction of the instrument. Any misuse will result in the expiry of all guarantee and warranty claims on the part of the operator against the manufacturer.

We assume no liability for damages to property or per- sonal injury caused by improper handling or failure to observe safety instructions. Any warranty claim expires in such cases. An exclamation mark in a triangle indi- cates safety notices in the operating instructions. Read the instructions completely before beginning the initial commissioning. This instrument is CE approved and thus fulfils the required guidelines.

3 LCD 17 DEUTSCH DEUTSCH ENGLISH Disposal For Testboy customers: Purchasing our product gives you the opportunity to return the instrument to collection points for waste electrical equipment at the end of its lifespan.

The WEEE directive regulates the return and recy- cling of electrical appliances. Manufacturers of elec- trical appliances are obliged to take back and recy- cle all electrical appliances free of charge. Electrical devices may then no longer be disposed of through conventional waste disposal channels. Electrical ap- pliances must be recycled and disposed of separate- ly. All equipment subject to this directive is marked with this logo. Certificate of quality All aspects of the activities carried out by Testboy GmbH relat- ing to quality during the manufacturing process are monitored permanently 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 a permanent inspection process. Declaration of Conformity The product conforms to the present directives. For more de- tailed information, go to www.testboy.deOperation 18 Testavit

3 LCD Operation Thank you for choosing a Testboy

3 LCD , sockets can be checked for correct connection*, or for wiring errors. The connection status is indicated by the LEDs and can be quickly and clearly determined in the printed table. To check to see whether an impermissible, high contact voltage is applied at the protective earth connection, the finger contact must be touched. if the LC display thereby illuminates, there is an error.

• In many international standards it is specified that the phase at a socket must be applied at the right connection (viewed from the front). In Germany, there is no clear regulation for this, because the Schuko plug is not protected against polarity reversal. In order to obtain a correct indication, the phase must be applied to the right. Thus, the instrument may have to be rotated through 180° when checking a Schuko socket (depending on the wiring).Operation Testavit

WARNING The test device is also suitable for dual-conductor mains (classic zeroing). Interchanging the neutral conductor and protective conductor (earth) is not recognized by the device!

Check the tester is in good working condition before use by testing it in a known correctly wired socket of distribution board.Operation 20 Testavit

Warning! Voltage at PE

When contacting with the finger, observe the reference to the earthing potential. This means that incorrect indication of the LC display can occur if the person carrying out, has insufficient contact with the earthing potential (e.g. wooden ladder, thick rubber soles etc.).Operation Testavit

3 LCD 21 DEUTSCH DEUTSCH ENGLISH If the tester indicates a fault condition in the wiring under test, always investigate the wiring or have the wiring investigated by a competent person. Do not contact accross two phases of a three phase supply. The tester will not correctly test circuits using isolation trans- former. Before testing, disconnect any loads from the circuits of all socket outlet in same distribution board as possible with the socket under test. Some loads connected may lead to measur- ing error. Use caution with voltages above 30 V ac as a shock hazard may exist.

FOR USE BY COMPETENT PERSONS

Anyone using this instrument should be knowledgeable and trained about the risks involved with measuring voltage, espe- cially in an industrial setting, and the importance of taking safety precautions and of testing the instrument before and after using it to ensure that it is in good working condition. Definition of measurement categories: Measurement category II: Measurement category II is applicable to test and measuring circuits connected directly to utilization points (socket outlets and similar points) of the low-voltage mains installation. Typical short-circuit current is < 10 kA. Measurement category III: Measurement category III is applicable to test and measuring circuits connected to the distribution part of the building’s low- voltage mains installation. Typical short-circuit current is < 50 kA.Operation 22 Testavit

3 LCD Measurement category IV: Measurement category IV is applicable to test and measuring circuits connected at the source of the building’s low-voltage mains installation. Typical short-circuit current is >> 50 kA. Read the instruction before use. If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection pro- vided by the equipment may be impaired. All parts of the device are not allowed to be changed or re- placed, other than authorized by the manufacturer or his agent. For cleaning the unit, use a dry cloth.
