Frequently Asked Questions - 40 Plus Testboy

How to test a DC voltage with the Testboy 40 Plus?

Place the test probes on the DC voltage source. The lower LEDs (6V + -) light up according to the present voltage. The upper LEDs indicate the polarity (+ or -).

How to test an AC voltage?

Place the test probes on the AC voltage source. The two upper LEDs (6V + -) light up simultaneously, as do the lower LEDs according to the voltage. The simultaneous illumination of the upper LEDs means AC voltage.

What to do if the LED display does not work?

First test the device on a known voltage source (e.g., 230 V). If one or more LEDs do not light up, do not use the device and have it checked by qualified personnel.

Can I use the device near electromagnetic fields?

Avoid using the device near electric welding equipment or induction heating devices to avoid interference.

How to clean the tester?

Clean the device with a damp cloth. Always store it in a dry and clean place.

What is the meaning of the LEDs that light up?

The lower LEDs indicate the voltage level (6 V to 400 V). The upper LEDs indicate the polarity for DC voltage or the presence of AC voltage when they light up simultaneously.

How to locate a phase?

Hold one test probe against the protective conductor and touch the other conductor with the other probe. When detecting the phase, the Testboy 40 Plus indicates AC voltage. The RCD is not triggered.

What safety instructions must be followed?

Follow the five safety rules: disconnection, protection against reconnection, verification of absence of voltage, grounding, and covering nearby live parts. Only touch the handles of the device.

Is the device waterproof?

Yes, the Testboy 40 Plus has an IP 65 protection rating, making it dust-tight and resistant to water jets.

How to replace the batteries?

Open the battery compartment (not detailed in the manual). Remove the used batteries and insert new AAA 1.5 V batteries. If not used for a long time, remove the batteries to avoid damage.

Operating instructions

Testboy® 40 Plus

Mode d'emploi

Testboy® 40 Plus

An additional source of danger is posed my mechanical parts which can cause severe personal injury.

Objects can also be damaged (e.g., the instrument itself can be damaged).

WARNING

An electric shock can result in death or severe injury. It can also lead to property damage and damage to this instrument.

WARNING

Unauthorized changes or modifications of the instrument 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 observe the safety instructions, warnings and the information 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 electromagnetic fields.

After an abrupt temperature fluctuation, the instrument should be allowed to adjust to the new temperature for about 30 minutes before using it. This helps to stabilize the IR sensor.

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 accident prevention regulations for electrical facilities and equipment, as established by your employer's liability insurance organization.

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 electrical load.

Proper and intended use

This instrument is intended for use in applications described in the operation manual only. Any other usage is considered improper and non-approved us-age 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.

Remove the batteries during longer periods of inactivity in order to avoid damaging the instrument.

We assume no liability for damages to property or personal injury caused by improper handling or failure to observe safety instructions. Any warranty claim expires in such cases. An exclamation mark in a triangle indicates 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.

Operation

Thank you very much for choosing the Testboy 40 Plus, a voltage testing device with LED display. It can be used to perform DC and AC voltage tests from 6 to 400V and polarity tests. The IP 65 protection class of the Testboy 40 Plus means that it can be used under harsh conditions. You have selected a device that is designed to offer you a high degree of safety. In order to ensure that the unit is operated correctly and safely, read these operating instructions thoroughly BEFORE operating the device.

Check the function of the voltage testing device immediately prior to its use (VDE regulation 0105, Part 1), by connecting it to a known voltage source (e.g. a 230V power socket). If the indicator shows that one or more functions are not working correctly, do not use the device any further, but have it examined by a qualified service technician. You can contact our works service department. Always hold the device by its handles. Avoid touching the probe tips. The voltage indications on the Testboy are only rated values. Trouble-free operation can only be guaranteed at temperatures of between -15^ and +45^ . Keep the device clean and dry at all times. The casing may be cleaned by wiping with a damp cloth.

Testing DC voltage

When placing the test probes on an DC voltage within the rated voltage range, one of the lower (6V + -) LEDs and the LED arranged underneath them illuminate according to the voltage applied.

The upper LED indicators show the voltage, whereby the reference pole is connected to the large hand element.

Testing AC voltages

When placing the test probes on an AC voltage within the rated voltage range, both of the upper (6V + -) LEDs and the LED located underneath them illuminate according to the voltage applied. Simultaneous lighting up of the upper LEDs indicates the presence of an AC voltage.

Phase search:

Hold a test probe against the protective conductor and check the other conductor with the other test probe. The Testboy 40 Plus indicates the AC voltage for the phase in question. FI/RCD is not triggered.
