CLEANING
•
Clean the tester with a clean, soft cloth.
•
Do not use any chemicals, abrasives or solvents that could damage the tester.
MAINTENANCE
1. Carefully unscrew the battery cap at the rear (flashlight end) of the tester.
2. Replace the batteries with two AAA 1.5V batteries observing the polarity.
3. Carefully align the 2 flashlight contact springs on the cap with the contacts above
the batteries.
4. Press the cover onto tester and rotate clockwise until engaged. Do not use
excessive force.
5. The IP67 dust and water ingress protection level is
determined by the correct fitting of this cap.
NOTE:
When batteries are loaded for the first time,
please remove the white, rectangular security strip
before installing the batteries.
• High Voltage Mode (100 to 1000V AC):
Place the tip of the tester near an AC
voltage. If the tester detects voltage within the defined detection range, the green
LED will turn off, the red LED will turn on, and the sounder will beep rapidly.
• Low Voltage Mode (12 to 1000V AC):
Press and hold the 12V button (4). The
green LED will change to yellow to indicate the tester is in the low voltage mode.
While pressing the 12V button, place the tip of the tester near an AC voltage. When
AC voltage is detected, the yellow LED will turn off, the red LED will flash and the
sounder will beep.
NOTE:
The flash rate and beeping rate will increase as the tester gets closer to the
voltage source. If the tester detects high voltage, it will automatically change over to
the high voltage mode: The red LED will change to a steady glow and the sounder will
beep rapidly. The tester cannot determine the actual voltage. The voltage level where
the tester switches from the low to high voltage mode is effected by insulation type and
thickness, distance from the voltage source, and other factors.
• Low Battery Indication:
Replace the batteries if the green LED does not turn on.
When the tester is on and the batteries are too low for reliable operation, the beeper
will beep three times and the green LED will turn off indicating the tester is not
operational. Replace the batteries to restore operation.
• Auto Power Off:
To conserve battery life, the tester will automatically turn off after
approximately 5 minutes of inactivity. When powering down, the beeper will beep
twice and the green LED will turn off.
• Flashlight:
Momentarily press the Flashlight button (3) to turn the flashlight
on or off. To conserve battery life, the flashlight will automatically turn off after
approximately five minutes. The beeper will beep twice as the flashlight turns off.
NOTE:
If the battery voltage is too low to operate the flashlight, the tester will indicate
this condition by beeping three times and the flashlight will turn off. The voltage detector
has it’s own low battery threshold and may remain operational, verify it’s condition before
using the tester.
