6.8 NCV (Non-Contact Voltage) Detection
Short press the
button to switch ON/OFF the non-contact voltage (NCV) detector.
The meter displays H or L (for High 24~1000V or Low 100~1000V sensitivity) when it is
ready. Short press the RANGE button to change the sensitivity. Place the top left of the
meter near a conductor to test. The detected voltage strength is indicated as a series of
display dashes and a variable beeper tone. Refer to the Fig. 6-10 for function switch
position, push-button operation, and display example.
Figure 6-10 – Non-Contact Voltage Detection
An antenna is located along the top-left end of the meter which detects the electric fields
that surround energized, live conductors. It is ideal for tracing live wiring connections,
locating wiring breakages and distinguishing between live and earth connections.
