Device Description; Functional Test Before Use To Ensure The Absence Of - Gossen MetraWatt DUSPOL 1000 Manuel De Instrucciones

Low-impedance voltage tester (impedance < 100 kΩ), inter-
ference voltage is suppressed or reduced:
A voltage tester of relatively low internal impedance, compared
to the reference value of 100 kΩ, will not indicate all interfer-
ence voltages having an original voltage value above the ELV
level (50 V AC/ 120 V DC). When in contact with the parts
to be tested, the voltage tester may discharge temporarily the
interference voltage to a level below the ELV, but it will be back
to the original value when the voltage tester is removed.
When the indication "voltage present" does not appear, it is
highly recommended to install earthing equipment before start-
ing work.
High-impedance voltage tester (impedance > 100 kΩ): Inter-
ference voltage will not be suppressed or reduced:
A voltage tester of relatively high internal impedance, com-
pared to the reference value of 100 kΩ, may not permit to
clearly indicate the absence of operating voltage in case of
presence of interference voltage. When the indication "voltage
present" appears on a part that is expected to be disconnected
from the installation, it is highly recommended to confirm by
another means (e.g. use of an adequate voltage tester capable
of distinguishing between operating voltages and interference
voltages, visual inspection of the disconnecting point of the
electric circuit, etc.) that there is no operating voltage on the
part to be tested and to conclude that the voltage indicated by
the voltage tester is an interference voltage.
Voltage testers capable of distinguishing between oper-
ating voltage and interference voltage by means of load
connection:
A voltage tester stating two values of internal impedance has
passed a performance test of managing interference voltages
and is (within technical limits) able to distinguish operating volt-
age from interference voltage and has a means to directly or
indirectly indicate which type of voltage is present.

Functional test before use to ensure the absence of

voltage of an installation (figure A)
- Check the voltage tester for correct functioning immedi-
ately before and after using it!
- It must be possible to switch the voltage tester on as fol-
lows:
• automatically, if a voltage of 6 V or more is applied to
the probe tips L1/-
• by actuating the push-button
L2
• by short-circuiting the probe tips L1/-
- If the
battery must be replaced.
- The device is switched off automatically after 10 seconds.
- Activation of the self-test:
• Short-circuit the probe tips L1/-
• Press and hold the push-button

• The buzzer sounds and all segments of the LC dis-
play, all LEDs (running light) as well as the back-
