Frequently Asked Questions - 45222 Wiha

How to use the Wiha 45222 continuity tester?

Briefly press the switch button to turn on the device. Place the test probes at the ends of the circuit to be tested. The tester emits an audible signal and lights the Rx LED if the resistance is below the threshold of the selected range (<500 kΩ or <10 Ω).

What measurement ranges are available?

Two ranges: 0 to 500 kΩ (high range) and 0 to 10 Ω (low range). Switch between them by briefly pressing the button.

How to turn on the built-in flashlight?

Press and hold the switch button for more than 2 seconds. The light turns off automatically after 30 seconds or by pressing again for more than 2 seconds.

What to do if the low battery LED lights up?

Replace the batteries with two new AAA batteries, observing polarity. Open the housing by removing the screws, insert the batteries, and close.

How to perform a self-test of the device?

Turn off the device, then hold the test probes together. The tester should indicate continuity (Rx LED and beep) if it is working correctly.

Can I test live circuits with this tester?

No, the device is designed for de-energized use only. It is not suitable for live circuits. A special LED warns of any hazardous voltage (50-400 V), in which case the test must be stopped immediately.

How to clean the continuity tester?

Use a damp cloth with a mild household cleaner. Never use aggressive detergents or solvents. Disconnect the device from any circuit before cleaning.

What is the overvoltage protection?

The tester withstands an overvoltage of 400 V AC/DC for a maximum of 30 seconds. It is rated CAT II 400 V according to IEC/EN 61010.

What is included in the delivery of the Wiha 45222?

The package includes: the continuity tester, 2 AAA batteries pre-installed, and a user manual.

• Acoustic and optical continuity indication
- Torch function
- Resistance ranges 10 Ω and up to 500 kΩ
• Test current up to 20 mA (low range)
- Fixed mounted test leads with test probes

Scope of supply

• 1x Continuity tester 45222
- 2x AAA batteries
• 1x Instruction manual

Transport and storage

Please keep the original packaging for later transport, e.g. for calibration. Any transport damage due to faulty packaging will be excluded from warranty claims.

Instruments must be stored in dry and closed areas.

In the case of an instrument being transported in extreme temperatures, a recovery time of minimum 2 hours is required prior to instrument operation.

INSTRUCTION MANUAL

Safety

The continuity tester 45222 has been constructed and verified in compliance with the latest safety standards for Test Instruments IEC/EN 61010-1 and IEC/EN 61010-031 and have left the factory in safe and perfect conditions.

In order to avoid electrical shock, the valid safety and VDE regulations regarding excessive contact voltages must receive utmost attention, when working with voltages exceeding 120 V (60 V) DC or 50 V (25 V) rms AC. The values in brackets are valid for limited ranges (as for example medicine and agriculture).

Prior to usage ensure perfect instrument function. The device may only be used in specified measuring ranges.

If the operator's safety is no longer ensured, the instrument is to be put out of service and protected against use.

The safety can no longer be insured if the instrument

• shows obvious damage.
- does not carry out the desired measurements.
- has been stored for too long under unfavourable conditions.
• has been subjected to mechanical stress during transport.

The UUT must be voltage-free. Verify this condition, if unsure, by using a voltage tester equipped with a display.

EN

The instruments are not appropriate for use in live circuits.

Only touch test leads and test probes at handles provided.

The tester complies with all EMC regulations. Nevertheless it can happen in rare cases that electric devices are disturbed by the electrical field of the tester or the tester is disturbed by electrical devices.

Never use the tester in explosive environment.

Tester must be operated by trained users only.

Avoid heating the device by direct sunlight. This is the only way to ensure proper functioning and a long service life.

When modifying or changing the instrument, the operational safety is no longer ensured. The device may only be opened for replacing the batteries.

Never operating with the device on a higher voltage than in the technical data! Otherwise, the device can be destroyed or permanently damaged.

Appropriate usage

The instrument may only be used under those conditions and for those purposes for which it was conceived. For this reason, in particular the safety references, the technical data including the environmental conditions and the usage in dry environments must be followed.

INSTRUCTION MANUAL

Control elements and connections

1 LED indicates high (dangerous) voltage from 50 V up to 400 V
② LED indicate measurement range < 10 Ω
③ LED indicate low battery
④ Button for different ranges and torch light
⑤ LED indicate measurement range < 500 kΩ
6 LED "Rx" indicate continuity

Using of device

• Continuity tester can be turned on with short press on pushbutton ④. The continuity tester turns on automatically if continuity < 500 k is detected between probes. After turn on, continuity tester operates in < 500 k operating mode by default.
• Short press on pushbutton switches between operating modes: < 500 k or < 10 . < 500 k < 10 < 500 k
• Long press on pushbutton > 2 s turns on Torch light. Torch light turns off automatically 30 s after activation, or by second Long press > 2 s on pushbutton.

EN

• Long press on pushbutton > 6 s turn off device.
• Self-test of device can be activated with shorting of tips (probes) while device is turned off.
• Device indicates continuity by LED “Rx” ⑥ and beeps if resistance between tips is less than 500 kΩ for < 500 kΩ range, and if resistance is less than 10 Ω for < 10 Ω range.
• Continuity tester is intended for use on non-energized environment. The ELV LED is used to signalize dangerous voltage. If ELV LED turns on during test, testing must be stopped.
• If low battery LED turns on ③, 2x AAA batteries needs to be replaced.

Maintenance

When using the instrument in compliance with the instruction manual, no special maintenance is required.

Cleaning

If the instrument is dirty after daily usage, it is advised to clean it by using a humid cloth and a mild household detergent. Prior to cleaning, ensure that instrument is disconnected from external voltage supply and any other instruments connected. Never use acid detergents or resolvent for cleaning.

INSTRUCTION MANUAL

Battery replacement

Remove the probes from any testing point, when opening the Battery case. Batteries are dead when the continuity test with both test probes connected cannot be done anymore. A battery symbol in the LCD indicates low battery.

If the instrument operation is impaired, carry out the battery replacement.

1. Disconnect the instrument from measurement circuit.
2. Open the casing by loosen the screw.
3. Insert 2 new batteries type AAA by respecting the polarity and close the casing.

Please think of our environment when you dispose your used batteries. They belong in a rubbish dump or a refuse collection place for hazardous waste.

Remove the battery when not using the instrument over a long time period.

However, should the instrument be contaminated by leaking batteries, return the instrument for cleaning and inspection to the factory.
