Any warranty claims will be forfeited when the warranty
seal has been damaged or removed.

Data Backup
We advise you to regularly transmit your stored data to a PC in
order to prevent potential loss of data in the test instrument.
We assume no responsibility for any data loss.
4 Initial Start-Up
4.1 Preparation for use
Before putting the test instrument into service and using it for the
first time, the lamination sheets must be removed from the two
sensor surfaces (finger contacts) of the test plug in order to
ensure that contact voltage is reliably detected.
4.2 Installing or Replacing the Battery Pack
Attention!
!
Before opening the battery compartment, disconnect the
instrument from the measuring circuit (mains) at all poles!
Note
See also section 20.2 on page 91 concerning charging
the Kompkt Akku Pack Master (Z502H) and the battery
charger Z502R.
Use Kompakt Akku Pack Master (Z502H), if possible, which is either
included in the standard equipment or available as an accessory, with
heat-sealed battery cells. Do not use any battery holders which can
be filled with individual batteries. This ensures that always a com-
plete set of batteries is replaced and all rechargeable batteries are
inserted with correct polarity in order to prevent leakage from the
batteries.
Only use commercially available battery packs if you charge them exter-
nally. The quality of these sets cannot be verified and this may, in
unfavourable cases, lead to heating and deformation (during the
charging in the device).
Dispose the battery packs or the individual rechargeable batteries
in an environmentally sound fashion when their service life has
nearly expired (approx. 80% charging capacity).
➭ Loosen the slotted screw for the battery compartment lid on
the back and remove the lid.
➭ Remove the discharged battery pack or the battery holder.
Attention!
!
When Using a Battery Holder:
It is imperative that you pay attention to the correct po-
larity when inserting the rechargeable batteries. If a bat-
tery has been inserted with incorrect polarity, it is not
detected by the instrument and may lead to battery leak-
age.
Individual rechargeable batteries may only be charged
externally.
➭ Slide the new battery pack/filled battery holder into the battery
compartment. The holder can only be inserted to its proper
position.
➭ Replace the lid and re-tighten the screw.
4.3 Switching the Instrument On/Off
The test instrument is switched on by pressing the ON/START key.
The menu which corresponds to the momentary selector switch
position is displayed.
The instrument can be switched off manually by simultaneously
pressing the MEM and HELP keys.
After the period of time selected in the SETUP menus has elapsed,
the instrument is switched off automatically (see “Device Set-
tings”, section 4.6.
4.4 Battery Test
If battery voltage has fallen below the permissible
lower limit, the pictograph shown at the right
appears. “Low Batt!!!” is also displayed along with a battery sym-
bol. The instrument does not function if the batteries have been
depleted excessively, and no display appears.
4.5 Charging the Battery Pack in the Tester
Attention!
!
Use only the charger Z502R to charge the Kompakt Akku-
Pack Master (Z502H) which has already been inserted into
the test instrument.
Make sure that the following conditions have been fulfilled be-
fore connecting the charger to the charging socket:
– Kompakt Akku-Pack Master (Z502H) has been
installed, no commercially available battery packs,
no individual rechargeable batteries, no standard
batteries
– The test instrument has been disconnected from the
measuring circuit at all poles
– The instrument must remain off during charging.
Refer to section 20.2.1 with regard to charging the battery pack
which has been inserted into the tester.
If the batteries or the battery pack have not been used or
recharged for a lengthy period of time (> 1 month), thus resulting
in excessive depletion:
Observe the charging sequence (indicated by LEDs at the char-
ger) and initiate a second charging sequence if necessary (dis-
connect the charger from the mains and from the test instrument
to this end, and then reconnect it).
Please note that the system clock stops in this case and must be
set to the correct time after the instrument has been restarted.
