1) SAFETY
This manual contains information and warnings that
must be followed for operating the tester safely and
maintaining the meter in a safe operating
condition. If the tester is used in a manner not
specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the tester may be impaired. The tester
is designed to be used by skilled persons and in
accordance with safe methods of work.
WARNING
Observe proper safety precautions when working
with voltages above 30 Vrms, 42.4 Vpeak or 60 VDC.
These voltage levels pose a potential shock hazard
to the user. Before and after hazardous voltage
measurements, check the voltage function on a
known source such as line voltage to determine
proper tester functioning.
This CE version tester meets EN61243-3:2014,
IEC/EN61010-1 Ed. 3.0, IEC/EN61010-2-033
Ed. 1.0 to Measurement CAT-III 1kV and CAT-IV
600V, AC & DC. It also meets water and dust
protection IP65 per outdoor type requirements of
IEC61243-3:2014. It is, however, not intended to

be used in wet locations!
CAUTION
Disconnect the test leads from the test points
before changing functions.
The voltages marked on the tester are nominal
voltages or nominal voltage ranges. The tester
shall only be used on installations with the
specified nominal voltages or nominal voltage
ranges. The different indicating signals of the
voltage detector (including the ELV limit indication)
are not to be used for measuring purposes.
Keep your hands/fingers behind the hand/finger
barriers (of the tester and the test probe assembly,
where applicable) that indicate the limits of safe
a c c e s s o f t he h a n d - h e l d p a r t s d u r i n g
measurements. Inspectlead wires, connectors, and
probes for damaged insulation or exposed metal
before using the tester. If any defects are found,
replace them immediately. Only use the probe
assembly provided with the tester or a Probe
Assembly to the same tester ratings or better.
Test probe assembly of this version is subjected to
IEC61243-3:2014 regulation that implements
<19mm limitations on exposed conductive test tip
length for effective contacts on most IP2X designed
low voltage boards and panels in CAT III and IV
areas. The retractable shroud test tip option further
provides IP2X degree of protection, when it is not
in use, especially for tester version with RCD
Leakage-Path feature.
