1. Safety instructions.
Hold the instrument only by the insulated
cable ends (A) and (B) and do not touch the
test ends (1).
Immediately prior to use: Check the correct
working order of the voltage tester (see
Section 3). The tester must not be used if any
fault is detected. (VDE0680, Part 5; DIN
57105).
The voltage tester must only be used within a
nominal voltage scale from 12 to 690 V.
When testing, hold the tester only by the insu-
lated handles (A) and (B).
Never connect the voltage tester to voltage for
more than thirty seconds (Maximum connec-
tion period allowed = 30 seconds).
The voltage tester will only work correctly
within the temperature range of -10º C to
+50º C.
Do not dismantle the voltage tester.
It is important to keep the surface of the vol-
tage tester clean.
Attention:
After the maximum charge (i.e., after a 30-
second measurement at 690 V DC), do not
use the instrument for 5 minutes.
2. Operating instructions.
The KOBAN KTF 8 is a double pole voltage
tester according to the VDE 0680 mark, Part
five, with a visual display screen. The instru-
ment is designed to test AC and DC voltage
within a scale from 12 to 690 V. It can also be
