SAFETY

!

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.

!

Intended for indoor use only - 

DO NOT

get the detector wet.

!

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.

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 Detection

3.1.1  Rotate the blue knob (Voltage/Metal Detector) fully downwards and move the selector switch to the Voltage/Metal Detection

position. The green LED will illuminate. Make sure that the unit is well away from any metal or current carrying conductor 
and hold it as shown in Fig. 3.

3.1.2 Turn 

the 

blue knob upwards until the indicators come on (red LED illuminated and buzzer activated). Reverse the blue 

knob slowly until the indicators just go off . The unit is now ready for use.

3.1.3 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.

3.1.4 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 3.5.

3.2

Voltage Detection

3.2.1

Turn the blue knob (Voltage/Metal Detector) downwards and move the selector switch to the (Voltage/Metal Detector) 
position. The green LED will illuminate immediately. Make sure that the unit is well away from any metal or current carrying
conductor.

3.2.2 Turn 

the 

blue knob upwards until the indicators come on (red LED illuminated and buzzer activated). Reverse the blue 

knob slowly until the indicators just go off . The unit is now ready for use.

3.2.3

Hold the unit as shown in Fig. 4 and move it sideways (horizontally) across the wall. Current-carrying conductors will be 
shown by a flashing red LED and the sound of an interrupting buzzer.

3.2.4

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 3.5.
