Measuring functions

The measuring tool offers the following measuring functions:

  • Measurement of alternating current
  • Measurement of alternating or direct voltage with lower input impedance (approx. 3 kΩ) to suppress reactive voltages (inductive/capacitive)
  • Measurement of resistance
  • Continuity testing
  • Measurement of alternating voltage
  • Measurement of the frequency of alternating voltage
  • Measurement of direct voltage
  • Non-contact voltage testing

  • Use for measurements always the proper input terminals, switch position and measuring range.
  • Check the test leads for continuity before use. Do not use if the readings are high or noisy.
  • Keep your fingers behind the finger guards while using the test leads.
  1. Turn the rotary switch (2) to the position in the figure.
  2. Press the Sel button when it is shown in the figure.

When Using Test Leads:

  1. Connect test leads (14) and (13) as shown in the figure.
  2. Contact the test points with the test probes.
  3. The measured value is shown on the display (1).

When using the measuring fork:

  1. Enclose the cable to be measured with the measuring fork (6) (maximum cable diameter 16 mm). Position it between the arrows (7).
  2. The measured value is shown on the display (1).

Keep your fingers behind the finger guard when using the measuring fork.

  • Do not take any measurements if the open-circuit potential to earth is more than 1000 V.

  • Make sure that you are properly earthed when taking measurements. If you are not properly earthed (e.g. by wearing insulating footwear or by standing on a ladder), the voltage tester is unable to detect any voltages.
  • Even if there is no visual or acoustic signal, there may still be a voltage. Insulation, wire size, cable shielding or the removal of the voltage source can influence the test.
  • The voltage tester cannot detect a voltage in DC circuits or in shielded cables.
  • Do not use the voltage tester to determine the absence of voltages.
  • Do not use the voltage tester if it looks damaged or it is not working properly. Test the test tips before using on cracks or breakages.
  1. Turn the rotary switch (2) to the position. EF is shown on the display.
  2. Hold the test probe (5) near the test object or the plug socket with AC voltage.
  3. An audio signal will sound and the LED at the rotation switch position  will flash red when it detects an AC voltage ≥ 40 V AC.
