2.0 SAFETY MEASURES
The testers have been constructed and tested in
accordance with the safety regulations for voltage
testers and have left the factory in a safe and perfect
condition.
The operating instructions contain information and
references required for safe operation and use of
the tester. Before using the tester, read the operating
instructions carefully and follow them in all respects.
Depending on the internal impedance of the voltage
tester there will be a different capability of indicating
the presence or absence of operating voltage in case
of the presence of interference voltage.
A voltage tester of relatively low internal impedance,
compared to the reference value of 100 k�, will not
indicate all interference voltages having an original
voltage value above the ELV level. 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 installing earthing
equipment before work.
A voltage tester of relatively high internal impedance,
compared to the reference value of 100 k�, 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 of the
installation, it is highly recommended confirming by
another means (e.g. use of an adequate voltage tester,
visual check 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 detector is an interference
voltage.
A voltage tester declaring two values of internal
impedance has passed a performance test of
managing interference voltages and is (within
technical limits) able to distinguish operating voltage
from interference voltage and has a means to directly
or indirectly indicate which type of voltage is present.
