5. Gebruiksaanwijzing

The NEO TOOLS 94-006 tester is straightforward to operate. Follow these steps for various testing scenarios:

5.1. General Voltage Meting (AC/DC)

1. Zorg ervoor dat het gebied veilig is en dat u de juiste PBM draagt.
2. Hold the main body of the tester firmly.
3. Carefully touch one probe to the first point of the circuit to be tested and the other probe to the second point.
4. Let op het LED-display. De LED's lichten op om het gedetecteerde volume aan te geven.tage level (e.g., 6V, 12V, 24V, 50V, 110V, 220V, 380V). The highest illuminated LED indicates the approximate voltage.
5. Voor DC-voltage, the '+' and '-' indicators on the tester will show the polarity.

5.2. Automotive Applications (Zero Point Check)

This function is particularly useful for diagnosing electrical systems in vehicles.

1. Connect one probe to a known good ground point (e.g., vehicle chassis).
2. Use the other probe to touch various points in the wiring harness where you suspect a zero point or ground connection issue.
3. Als een voltage is detected, it indicates that the point is not at zero potential or has a fault.

5.3. Phase Testing in Electrical Panels

To identify live phases in electrical distribution panels:

1. Zorg ervoor dat alle veiligheidsmaatregelen zijn getroffen.
2. Touch one probe to a known neutral or ground point.
3. Carefully touch the other probe to the terminal or wire you wish to test for a live phase.
4. Als een voltage is detected and the corresponding LED illuminates, it indicates a live phase.

6. Onderhoud

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and accuracy of your NEO TOOLS 94-006 voltagen tester.

• Schoonmaak: Veeg het apparaat af met een droge, zachte doek. Gebruik geen schurende reinigingsmiddelen of oplosmiddelen. Zorg ervoor dat er geen vocht in het apparaat komt.
• Opslag: Store the tester in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep the probes protected to prevent damage.
• Regelmatige inspectie: Periodically inspect the probes, cable, and housing for any signs of wear, cuts, or damage. Replace the device if any damage is observed to ensure safety and accurate readings.

7. Probleemoplossing

If you encounter issues with your NEO TOOLS 94-006 voltage tester, consider the following common problems and solutions:

• Geen LED-indicatie:
  • Ensure both probes are making good contact with the test points.
  • Verify that there is actual voltage present in the circuit. Test on a known live circuit if possible.
  • Check for any visible damage to the probes or cable that might interrupt the circuit.
• Inconsistente metingen:
  • Ensure stable contact with the test points.
  • Clean the probe tips if they appear dirty or corroded.
  • The tester provides approximate voltage levels via LED. For precise measurements, a digital multimeter may be required.
• Fysieke schade:
  • If the housing, probes, or cable are physically damaged, discontinue use immediately. Using a damaged electrical tester can be hazardous.
