Frequently Asked Questions - 230 V AC CAT II Wiha

What does the 'OK' LED display on the Wiha 230 V AC CAT II tester mean?
The 'OK' display indicates that the socket is correctly wired: phase (L), neutral (N) and earth (PE) are properly connected.
What to do if the tester displays 'L/N reverse'?
This means the phase (L) and neutral (N) conductors are reversed. The installation must be checked by a qualified electrician.
Can the tester be used to verify absence of voltage?
No, the socket tester does not verify absence of voltage. It is designed only to test the wiring of live sockets.
What is the measurement category of this device?
The measurement category is CAT II / 300 V according to IEC/EN 61010-1, suitable for domestic mains sockets.
How to clean the Wiha socket tester?
Disconnect the device from any power source. Clean with a damp cloth and a mild household cleaner. Do not use aggressive solvents.
What does 'E fault' mean on the tester?
'E fault' indicates an earth (PE) fault. The earth connection is defective or missing.
Can I use an extension cord with the tester?
Yes, but ensure the extension cord is in perfect condition and its earth connection is continuous. Using a non-earthing adapter will distort the results.
What to do if the tester shows no LED?
Check that the socket is live (230 V). If it is and the device does not respond, it might be defective: stop using it and contact after-sales service.
Is the tester suitable for three-phase installations?
No, this device is designed only for standard 230 V AC single-phase sockets with earth.
