Weight: 150 g
Delivery confi guration:
- 1 701A tester
- 1 6F22 9 V saline battery
- 1 strap
- 1 user's manual
To obtain the best possible service from your instrument:
■ read these instructions carefully
■ comply with the Precautions for
Meaning of the symbol
Caution! Please consult the operating instructions before using the device.
In these instructions, failure to follow or correctly implement instructions
preceded by this symbol may result in personal injury or damage to the device
and the installations.

Precautions for Use

■ Always perform an AUTOTEST before and after using the detector.
■ Max voltage for use: 690VAC between phases
■ This detector can be used on Category III installations, with voltages below
600V in relation to the earth.CAT III circuits are power supply circuits for
power instruments that can carry large transient voltage surges.
Example : industrial instrument and machine power supply.
■ Use accessories that comply with the safety standards (EN 61010-031) with
a minimum voltage of 600V and measurement CAT III.
■ Never open the detector casing without fi rst disconnecting it from all
sources of electricity.
■ Never touch the metal test probes during a test.
■ Never perform continuity testing on a live circuit. However, in the event of
an incorrect operation, the detector provides protection up to 600V.
The 701A is a visual and audio detector for testing DC and AC voltage,
continuity.
■ phase/neutral identifi cation
■ a function for initial diagnosis of 30mA differential circuit breakers (RCDs)
■ indication of phase rotation direction («2-wires» method)
It has been designed to comply with:
■ international standard EN 61243-3 cl. B
■ international standard EN 61010-1 600V CAT III
In particular, it has the following advantages:
■ High level of electrical safety. The lighting and automatic AC/DC detection
protect the user from a wide range of interpretation errors.
■ The autotest allows you to validate the operation of the internal electronic
circuits and the condition of the leads.
■ Mechanical robustness.
■ Electronic protection up to 600Vrms for continuity detection when the circuit is live.
■ High level of protection of the casing: IP 65.
■ Disconnectable test probes
■ Storage of test probes
■ Centre distance of 19 mm (distance between the poles of the circuit breaker).
