5. Instruccions de funcionament

Encès/apagat:

Press and hold the '>2S POWER' button for more than 2 seconds to turn the device on or off.

Basic Socket Testing:

To test a socket's wiring and voltage:

1. Assegureu-vos que el provador estigui engegat.
2. Insert the ANENG AC11 Socket Tester into the desired electrical outlet.
3. The LCD screen will immediately display the wiring status (e.g., 'CORRECT' or 'INCORRECT' with specific fault indicators) and the Live-Neutral (L-N) and Neutral-Earth (N-E) voltage lectures.

6. Indicadors de visualització

The ANENG AC11 features a clear LCD display with various symbols and indicators to communicate the status of the electrical circuit. Refer to the diagram below for a detailed explanation of each indicator:

Figure 5: Explanation of all display indicators on the ANENG AC11.

1. Símbol de bateria baixa: Indicates that the batteries need replacement.
2. Reversed order: Indicates incorrect wiring where live and neutral wires are swapped.
3. Fil neutre: Symbol for the neutral conductor.
4. Connected correctly: Indicates proper wiring.
5. Sequential connection error: General wiring error.
6. FireWire (Live Wire): Symbol for the live conductor.
7. AC sense contacte voltage (NCV): Indicates NCV detection is active.
8. Induction strength index: Bar graph showing the strength of detected NCV.
9. Neutral and Earth voltage (N-E): Mostra voltage entre neutre i terra.
10. Live and Neutral voltage (L-N): Mostra voltage between live and neutral.
11. Vol. Alttagsímbol e: Warning for high voltage detecció.
12. Earth wire: Symbol for the earth (ground) conductor.

7. RCD Test Function

The RCD (Residual Current Device) test function checks the integrity of your leakage protection system. This test will trip the RCD if it is functioning correctly.

Performing an RCD Test:

1. Plug the ANENG AC11 into the socket you wish to test.
2. Ensure all sensitive electronic devices connected to the circuit are unplugged or turned off to prevent data loss or damage from a power interruption.
3. Press the 'RCD TEST' button.
4. If the RCD trips (power cuts off), it indicates that the leakage protection is functioning correctly.
5. If the RCD does not trip, it indicates a potential fault in the leakage protection system, and further investigation by a qualified electrician is recommended.

Figure 6: RCD test procedure and expected results.

Important: The RCD test will cause a power interruption. Use with caution and only with permission.

8. Vol sense contactetage (NCV) Detecció

The NCV feature allows for the detection of AC voltage without direct contact with live conductors, enhancing safety during preliminary checks.

Using NCV:

When the tester is near an AC voltage source, the lightning symbol and index grid on the display will flash, and an audible alarm will sound. The induction strength index (bar graph) will indicate the proximity and strength of the detected voltage.

10. Manteniment

• Neteja: Netegeu el dispositiu amb un drap sec i suau. No utilitzeu productes de neteja abrasius ni dissolvents.
• Substitució de la bateria: Replace batteries when the low battery symbol appears on the display to ensure accurate readings. Refer to Section 4 for battery installation instructions.
• Emmagatzematge: Guardeu el dispositiu en un lloc fresc i sec, allunyat de la llum solar directa i de temperatures extremes. Si l'emmagatzemeu durant períodes prolongats, traieu les piles per evitar fuites.

11. Solució De Problemes

• El dispositiu no s'encén: Comproveu si les piles estan instal·lades correctament i tenen prou càrrega. Canvieu les piles si cal.
• Vol inconsistenttage lectures: Ensure the tester is fully inserted into the socket. Verify the socket itself is functioning correctly with another known working device. Low battery can also affect accuracy; replace batteries.
• RCD test does not trip: This indicates a potential fault with the RCD or the circuit's leakage protection. Consult a qualified electrician immediately.
• No display or partial display: Comproveu el nivell de la bateria. Si el problema persisteix després de substituir la bateria, poseu-vos en contacte amb l'atenció al client.
