I. Overview
Thank you for purchasing a KANE-VCT voltage
continuity tester. This tester has been designed
in accordance with the latest international safety
standards.
The KANE-VCT is a fully automatic voltage indicator
capable of measuring AC/DC voltage up to 690V.
The KANE-VCT has visual & acoustic continuity
indication, single pole detection & a phase rotation
sequencing indication.
Constructed in accordance with IEC 61010-1 & IEC
61243-3.
• Single pole phase indication
• 2 pole phase rotation indication
• LED & LCD display

II. Safety Notices
This instruction manual contains information that
must be followed for operating the meter safely &
maintaining the meter in a safe operating condition. If
this meter is not used in the manner that is specified,
the protection provided may be impaired.
Warning! Warns of potential danger, refer to
the instruction manual to avoid personal injury
or damage to the meter.
Caution! Dangerous voltage. Danger of
electrical shock.
Perfect display is only guaranteed within a
temperature range of -10 - 50°C, relative
humidity <85%.
A statement about protection impairment
if used in a manner not specified by the
manufacturer.
The voltage indicators are designed to be used by
skilled persons & in accordance with safe methods
of work.
The voltages marked on the voltage indicator are
nominal voltages and the voltage indicator is only to
be used on installations with the specified nominal
voltages.
The different indicating signals of the voltage
indicator are not to be used for measuring purposes.
Before using a voltage indicator at locations with a
high background noise level, it has to be determined
whether the audible signal is perceptible.
II. Safety Notices (continued)
It is important to check the state of the battery before
use & to replace it if necessary.
The meter has been designed in accordance
with the safety regulations for electronic
measuring instruments, EN 61010-1:2010, EN
61010-2-030:2010, EN 61010-031:2015, EN
61243-3:2014 & EN 61326-1
Voltages above 75V DC or 50V AC may constitute a
serious shock hazard.
Before using the meter, check for physical damage to
the casing, in particular around the cable strain relief.
If the case is damaged, do not use the meter.
Check the test probes for damaged insulation or
exposed metal.
Check the leads for continuity.
Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked
on the meter between the terminals or between any
terminal & ground.
Do not use or store the meter in an environment of
high temperature, humidity, fumes, vapour, gaseous,
inflammable, & strong magnetic field.
The performance & safety of the instrument and the
user may be compromised in such circumstances.
Disconnect circuit power & discharge all high voltage
capacitors before testing resistance, continuity &
diodes.
Remove the batteries if the meter is not in use for a
long period.
Constantly check the battery as it may have leaked.
A leaking battery will damage the meter.
The meter may only be opened by a qualified service
technician for calibration & repair.
