7. Operating Instructions
Be aware of the Safety Instructions.
Note: Before each measurement check the correct funktion at a known
power source.
Close the probes briefly. The "Audible continuity" (9) LED lights up and a
beep can be heard.
If the device does not respond during the function test replace the
battery.
DC Voltage measurement / AC Voltage measurement
Attention
Hazardous voltage! The probes may not be long enough to touch the hot
parts in some 230V wall sockets as they are deep inside. As a result, the
reading can show 0 volts. Make sure that the probes touch the metallic
contacts in the socket before assuming that voltage has not been applied.
Use the probes 4 mm.
1. Touch the measuring points with the probe tips.
(Measurement device +, Handset -)
2. The tester is activated at a voltage of 12V.
3. Once the reading stabilizes, read the value.
Note:For technical reasons, the MV-690A's 12 V LED only lights up when
both test buttons (10) are pressed!

DC Voltage measurement / AC Voltage measurement with
reduced impedance
For the voltage test with reduced impedance press both test buttons (10) during
the measurement. The impedance of about 7.7 kΩ is reduced, whereby
inductive and capacitive stray voltages are suppressed. With this function you
can choose between "real" difference voltages and stray voltages.
Single-pole phase test
Note: This measurement can only be performed when functional
batteries are inserted.
1. Touch a conductor with the device probe.
2. A beep indicates that the conductor is under voltage.
Testing of an residual current circuit breaker.
1. Touch probe with the outer conductor and the other probe to the ground
wire.
2. Press both test buttons in the middle of the voltage tester. This increases
the power consumption of the voltage tester at 230 V at 30 mA.
3. If the tested circuit is protected by a 30 mA RCD-breaker the circuit should
be switched off. If the If the RCD does not switch off, the switch is either
defective or the third prong (ground) of the plug is not in order.

English

Continuity test
Note: This measurement can only be performed when functional
batteries are inserted.
1. Connect the test prods of the leads to the resistance or circuit to be
tested. To avoid influence disconnect the resistant to be tested from the
circuit.
2. If there is a resistor < 35 Ω, you hear a beep. When the circuit is open, the
display shows "OL".
Rotation indicator of rotating fields
The tester can show the direction of the rotary field of three-phase.
The rotation indicator is always active and is displayed by the two LEDs.
1. Touch two phases of the 3-phase AC power source with the two probes of
the device.
2. If the "R" LED illuminates, the rotating field rotates clockwise - when the
"L" LED illuminates, the rotating field rotates counter-clockwise.

8. Maintenance
Only authorized service technicians may repair the instrument.
Note:
If the instrument is malfunctioning, please test:
- Battery condition and polarity
- Condition of the fuse(s) if available.
- Condition of the test leads.
Changing the battery(s)
If the device does not respond during the function test replace the battery.
Attention: Remove the probes from all voltage sources before opening the
device!
1. Open the battery compartment. (12)
2. Replace the battery. Mind the correct polarity.
3. Replace the battery compartment lid and secure the screw.
4. Disposal of the flat battery should meet environmental standards.
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 switched off and disconnected from external voltage supply and
any other instruments connected. Never use acid detergents or dissolvent for
cleaning.
