1. saFetY
9
When the unit gives a ‘no voltage’ reading (no flashing of red led and beeping of the buzzer when touching the conductor), check the
unit on a known voltage source Before touching the conductor.
9
intended for indoor use only -
do not
get the detector wet.
9
the unit will not detect electricity in shielded conductors i.e. those in a metal conduit. in such cases it will indicate only the presence of
metal.
2. introduction
combined unit for the accurate detection of live or dead electricity cables, water or gas pipes and wooden studs or battens. Powered by a 9V
battery (not supplied) the detector will, with red and green led displays and an audible signal, show the presence of metal, electricity and studs or
battens.
3.
operation
Warning!
ensure that you read, understand and apply
the safety instructions before attempting to use the detector.
note:
remove the battery cover. install a 9V PP9 battery. refit the battery cover. refer to fig.2.
3.1.
metal/voltage detection
3.1.1. Hold the detector as shown in fig.3. and rotate knob B (Voltage/metal detector) fully downwards.
3.1.2.
move the selector switch to the Voltage/metal detection position, the green led will illuminate
immediately. make sure that the unit is far away from any metal or current carrying conductor.
3.1.3.
turn knob B upwards until the indicators come on (red led illuminated and buzzer activated). reverse the knob slowly until the
indicators just go off . the unit is now ready for use.
3.1.4.
Hold the unit as shown in fig. 4 and move it sideways (horizontally) across the wall. the red led and a continuous buzzer tone will
come on when a metal object is in the vicinity. A current carrying conductor will be shown with a red blinking led and a beeping sound
from the buzzer.
3.1.5. if the indicators do not come on, or will not go off, after the unit has been switched on, the detector requires adjustment. for adjustment
details, please refer to section 3.4.
notes:
a) some walls may contain metallised fibre, for fire-proofing, which will spread the area of voltage pick-up. Placing your free
hand on the wall may cancel the effect.
b) rubbing or banging the unit on the wall may generate static electricity and cause false readings.
c) Because of the extremely small current required to cause a reading on the unit, an apparent false reading may be seen in
some situations e.g. a conductor with poor insulation touching a damp wall, will show a voltage on the wall. in this situation,
the unit is indicating a potential hazard which should be checked by a qualified electrician.
