12-1000V Voltage Detector

Safety Instructions

Type	Volt Detector EX 12-1000 V
Identification	II3G Ex ic op is IIC T4 Gc
Certificate No.	EPS 19 ATEX 1 223 X
Standards	EN IEC 60079-0:2018 EN 60079-11:2012 EN 60079-28:2015

Repairs are not permitted!
The following conditions must be observed for use in potentially explosive atmospheres:

• Before use in potentially explosive atmospheres, check the function and integrity of the housing and whether the correct batteries have been inserted.
• Operation only on insulated electrical systems / cable
• Maximum rated voltage U = 400 V AC
• Operation only with batteries PAIRDEER Type R03 (AAA)
• Replace batteries only if there is no explosive atmosphere

VoltDetector EX 12-1000 V
This contactless voltage tester is used to test alternating electric fields.
It can detect voltages in insulated cables, e.g. spot cable breaks.

AC > 50 V
DC > 120 V

Above these voltage limits: life-threatening electric shock if touched.

• The warranty is voided in the event of injury or damage to property caused due to non-compliance with these operating instructions. The manufacturer accepts no  liability for consequential damage.
• Operational safety is no longer guaranteed if the voltage tester has been modified in any way. Do not disassemble.
• Test the device on a known voltage source before and after you use it.
• Certified as per the ATEX standard.

Proper use

• Only trained technical staff may use the voltage tester.
• The voltage tester must not be used to verify that there is no live current.
• You may only use a two-pole voltage tester as per EN61243-3 to verify that there is no live current.
• You must pass on the operating instructions as well if you give voltage tester to a third party.
