Non-Contact AC Voltage Measurements
WARNING: Risk of Electrocution. Before use,
always test the Voltage Detector on a known live
circuit to verify proper operation
1. Touch the probe tip to the hot conductor or insert into the hot
side of the electrical outlet.
2. If AC voltage is present, the detector light will illuminate.
NOTE : The conductors in electrical cord sets are often twisted.
For best results, rub the probe tip along a length of the
cord to assure placing the tip in close proximity to the live
conductor.
NOTE : The detector is designed with high sensitivity. Static
electricity or other sources of energy may randomly trip
the sensor. This is normal operation
