When connected via the 5-pole CEE mains plug (23), indicator lamps L1, L2 and L3 (19) 
must light up. When connected via the earthing contact mains adapter (22), only indicator 
lamp L1 should light up. Mains polarity is tested for this type of connection, i.e. if lamp L1 does 
not light up, the polarity of the earthing contact plug must be reversed in the mains outlet. If this is not 
the case, immediately disconnect the test case from the mains. The fault at the mains connection 
or the test case must be eliminated before executing any further tests.
If the PE signal lamp lights up when you touch the contact surface (7), potential between the 
protective conductor at the mains plug (22/23) and the contact surface (7) is 
 25 V, i.e. the 
protective conductor is conducting voltage.
Note!
Depending upon handling, potential transfer may occur which causes the PE signal 
lamp to light up. For example, this could be the case if you touch a device under test 
with the NETZ-VDE switch (1) in the “VDE” position, thus creating a capacitive voltage 
divider.
Attention
!
!
If, while testing protective conductor potential, you determine that the mains 
protective conductor is conducting voltage, no measurements may be performed 
with the test case. If this is the case, potentially dangerous voltage is also present at 
the user accessible earthing contacts at the outlets, the “PE” socket (20) and the jack 
(4). Immediately disconnect the test case from the mains and arrange to have the 
fault eliminated at the mains connection. Voltage in the mains protective conductor 
also results in incorrect measured values when testing for the absence of voltage in 
accordance with DIN VDE 0701-0702 (see section 6.4.1).

Measuring Line Voltage
Set the measuring function selector switch (6) to “250 V~”.
If connected via the 5-pole CEE mains adapter, set the measuring selector switch (2) to 
the L1, L2 and L3 settings, one after the other, and if connected via the earthing contact 
mains adapter set the switch to L1 and read the measured value from the LCD panel for 
each switch setting. 
Line voltage must always lie within the permissible range of 207 to 253 V.
Note!
If line voltage is present, values are displayed at the with the measuring function 
selector switch (6) in each of its respective positions, even if no device under test has 
been connected. 
The display of such numbers indicates that line voltage is present, regardless of the 
position to which the measuring function selector switch (6) has been set. If the 
selector switch has been set to “250 V~”, these numbers represent the actual line 
voltage value. In all other detented switch positions – if no device under test has been 
connected – these numbers do not represent actual measured values. 
If the test case has been connected via the earthing contact mains adapter, all tests and 
measurements can be performed except tests at 3-phase current devices under mains 
operating conditions.
