AC/DC Voltage test

Connect both probes to the circuit under test. 

The voltage is indicated by LEDs and the LCD 

display.
The buzzer sounds when a threshold voltage of 

approximately 38 VAC or approximately 100 VDC 

is exceeded.

Voltage polarity is indicated in following 

manner. 

AC: Both + and – 12 V LEDs are on.
+DC: +12 V LED is on.
-DC: -12 V LED is on.

When the L2 probe + is the positive (negative) 
potential, the Polarity indication LED indicates  
“+DC” (“-DC”). 
During a voltage test, L or R LEDs may illuminate.
For voltages over 1000 V AC and 1500 V DC the 
LCD will display ‘OL’.

Single-pole phase test 

Hold the tester securely in your hand. Connect 
the “L2 +” probe to the object under test.
Voltage warning LED lights up and buzzer sounds 
when a voltage of approximately 100 V AC or 
more exists in the object under test.
Function of this test may not be fully achieved if the 
insulation condition / grounding conditions of user or 
of the equipment under test are not good enough.

Note: Verification of live-circuits should not be 
dependent on a Single-pole phase test only.
