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

- 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
| Voltage: | 12 – 1000 V AC |
| Frequency: | 40- 500 Hz |
- 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.
