CLEANINGANDMAINTENANCE
Besidesoccasionalcleaningandbatteryreplacement,thevoltagetesterismaintenance-free.
Thevoltagetestermustbedisconnectedfromalldevicesundertestbeforecleaning.
Aftercleaning,allowtheproducttodrycompletelybeforeusingitagain.
Nevertrytoopenthehousing,apartfromthebatterycompartment.
Checkthetechnicalsafetyofthevoltagetesterregularly.Itisunderstoodthatsafeoperationisnolongerpossible:
• ifthedeviceorheconnectingcableisvisiblydamaged
• afterprolongedstorageunderunfavourableconditions
• afterextraordinarytransportstress
Theoutsideofthedeviceshouldbecleanedwithasoft,dampclothorbrushonly.Donotuseabrasiveorchemicalcleaning
agentswhichcoulddamagethehousingorimpairoperation.
DISPOSAL

PERFORMINGTESTSANDMEASUREMENTS
Thetwo-polevoltagetesterconsistsofthetwoprobes(4and6),aconnectingcable(18)andtheindicatorpanel.
