USER MANUAL TB 5300 Testboy

WARNING Read these instructions carefully before use. If the unit is not used according to the manufacturer's instructions, the protection provided by the unit may be impaired.

WARNING Sources of danger are, for example, mechanical parts that can cause serious injuries to persons. There is also a risk of damage to objects (e.g. damage to the unit).

WARNING Electric shock can cause death or serious injury to persons as well as a hazard to the function of objects (e.g. da- mage to the appliance).

WARNING For safety and approval reasons (CE), unauthorised conversion and/or modification of the unit is not permitted. To ensure safe operation with the unit, it is essential to observe the safety instructions, warnings and the chapter "In- tended use".

WARNING Before using the appliance, please observe the following instructions: | Avoid operating the unit near electric welders, induction heaters and other electromagnetic fields. | After abrupt temperature changes, the unit must be adjusted to the new ambient temperature for approx. 30 mi- nutes before use to stabilise it. | At lower temperatures below 5 °C, the readiness of the voltage tester may be impaired. Please ensure sufficient power supply by using suitable batteries that are also specified for the temperature range used! | Do not expose the unit to high temperatures for a long time. | Avoid dusty and humid environmental conditions. | The voltage tester and accessories are not toys and do not belong in children's hands! | In commercial facilities, the accident prevention regulations of the Federation of Institutions for Statutory Acci- dent Insurance and Prevention for electrical installations and equipment must be observed.

Please observe the five safety rules: 6 Unlock 7 Secure against restarting 8 Determine the absence of voltage (2-pole absence of voltage must be determined) 9 Ground and short circuit 10 Cover adjacent live parts

WARNING | A voltage tester with relatively low impedance will not indicate all interference voltages with an original value above ELV compared to the reference value 100 k . When in contact with the equipment under test, the vol- tage tester may temporarily reduce the interference voltages to a level below ELV by discharging; however, after removing the voltage tester, the interference voltage will return to its original value. | A voltage tester with a relatively high internal impedance will not clearly indicate "operating voltage not present" compared to the reference value of 100 k when interference voltage is present. | If the "Voltage present" indicator does not appear, it is strongly recommended to insert the earthing device be- fore starting work. | If the indication "voltage present" appears on a part that is considered to be disconnected from the installation, it is strongly recommended to take additional measures (e.g..: Use of a suitable voltage tester, visual inspection of the disconnection point in the electrical network, etc.) to prove the "operating voltage not present" condition of the part of the installation to be tested and to establish that the voltage indicated by the voltage tester is a fault voltage.

Intended use Intended for use by qualified electricians and skilled personnel only.Safety instructions Testboy

TB 5300 Disposal Dear Testboy-customer, with the purchase of our product you have the option of returning the device to suitable collection points for electronic waste at the end of its life cycle.

WEEE regulates the take-back and recycling of waste electrical equipment. Manufacturers of electrical appliances are obliged to take back and recycle electrical appliances that are sold free of charge. Electrical appliances may then no longer be placed in the "normal" waste streams. Electrical equipment must be recycled and disposed of separately. All appliances covered by this directive are marked with this logo.

Disposal of used batteries

As the end user, you are legally obliged (Battery Act) to return all used batteries and rechargeable batteries; Disposal with household waste is prohibited! Batteries/rechargeable batteries containing harmful substances are marked with the adjacent symbols indicating that they must not be disposed of with household waste. The designations for the decisive heavy metal include: Cd = cadmium, Hg = mercury, Pb = lead, Mn = manganese, Li = lithium. You can hand in your used batteries/rechargeable batteries free of charge at the collection points of your municipa- lity or wherever batteries/rechargeable batteries are sold!

TB 5300, a multi-channel thermometer with LCD display. Four temperature measurements can be carried out simultaneously. It is possible to measure maximum, minimum, average and real-time values. Product description

5. Button for changing the units

10. Battery compartment

Function To switch on the unit, simply press the power button. In stand-by mode, the display shows T1 to T4 and "- - - -". If a sensor is connected, a temperature is displayed for the correspon- ding connection. Max. / Min. / Avg. The Max., Min. and Avg. keys can be used to display the minimum values, maximum values and average values. Pressing the cor- responding key again takes you back to the real-time measurement. Auto Power Off The unit switches itself off after 10 minutes using the Auto Power Off mode to prolong the life of the batteries. DATA HOLD function By briefly pressing the Hold key, a test value can be stored on the LC display. The "DATA HOLD" function is shown on the display field and can be switched off again by briefly pressing the same key again.

To avoid electrical shock and damage to the meter, do not allow moisture to enter the hou- sing. Maintenance The unit does not require any special maintenance except for the batteries when operated according to the instruction manual. Battery change If the batteries have run down, the device may switch off. Please change the batteries immediately to ensure the accuracy of the test values. To change the batteries, open the battery compartment. To do this, loosen the screw using a suitable screwdriver. Make sure that the polarity is correct when using the new batteries. Carefully close the battery compartment and screw it back in.

Batteries do not belong in household waste. There is also a collection point near you!
