PeakTech 3432 Fuse Detector and VoltagE טעסטער באַניצער מאַנואַל

1. הקדמה

The PeakTech 3432 is a versatile electrical testing device designed for efficient and safe detection of fuses and circuits. It comprises a transmitter and a receiver unit. The transmitter acts as a signal generator and a socket tester, while the receiver is used to locate fuses within a fuse box. Additionally, the receiver features a Non-Contact Voltage (NCV) detector for identifying live voltage without direct contact. The transmitter also allows for RCD (Residual Current Device) testing by simulating a fault current.

6.1 Fuse Detection

This function helps identify which fuse controls a specific electrical circuit.

1. Plug the transmitter into a live socket on the circuit you wish to identify.
2. Go to the fuse box.
3. Turn on the receiver by pressing the On/Off button.
4. Slowly scan the fuses in the fuse box with the tip of the receiver.
5. The receiver's NCV signal indicator will light up גרין when no signal from the transmitter is detected, indicating it's not the correct fuse.

2. Press the NCV button (Component 5).
3. Hold the tip of the receiver near a conductor, cable, or socket.
4. אויב לעבן AC voltage is detected, the NCV signal indicator will light up red and an audible signal will sound. The intensity of the signal (both visual and audible) may increase with proximity to the voltagE מקור.

6.3 Socket Testing

The transmitter unit doubles as a socket tester, indicating the wiring status of a 230V Schuko socket.

1. Plug the transmitter into the socket you wish to test.
2. Observe the LED indicators on the transmitter (Component 4). These LEDs will illuminate in specific patterns to indicate the wiring status (e.g., correct wiring, missing ground, phase/neutral reversal). Refer to the legend on the transmitter for specific indications.

6.4 RCD Testing

The transmitter can test the functionality of a 30mA RCD (Residual Current Device).

1. Ensure the transmitter is plugged into a live socket.
2. Press the RCD Test button (Component 2) on the transmitter.
3. If the RCD is functioning correctly, it should trip (switch off) within a short period.
4. If the RCD does not trip, it may be faulty and should be inspected by a qualified electrician.
5. Reset the RCD after testing.

Wipe the device with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the device is dry before storage or use.

7.2 באַטערי פאַרבייַט

When the receiver's battery is low, the signal indicators may become dim or the device may not power on. Replace the 9V block battery as described in Section 5.1. Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations.

7.3 סטאָרידזש

Store the device in its carrying bag in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for extended periods, remove the battery to prevent leakage.

8. טראָובלעשאָאָטינג

• אַפּאַראַט אַרבעט נישט אָן: Check if the battery is correctly installed and fully charged. Replace the battery if necessary.
• No signal detected during fuse finding: Ensure the transmitter is plugged into a live socket on the circuit you are testing. Verify the socket is functional using the transmitter's socket test feature.
• Multiple fuses show a signal: In some installations, due to proximity or wiring configurations, the receiver might pick up a signal from adjacent fuses. To pinpoint the exact fuse, try scanning more slowly and observing the strongest signal indication (brightest light/loudest sound). It's important to note that this device works with live voltage, and signals can sometimes bleed to nearby conductors.
• RCD does not trip during testing: Ensure the transmitter is correctly plugged into a live socket. If the RCD still does not trip, the RCD itself may be faulty and requires inspection by a qualified electrician.
• Inaccurate NCV readings: Ensure there are no strong electromagnetic fields nearby that could interfere with the NCV detection.
