During use, your hand must be behind the instrument safety barrier. Ensure the
instrument is gripped firmly
To maintain safety, check the correct operation of the EPF PRO, both before
and after use, with a true AC output proving unit such as the socket and See
SP400 or a known live source.
The EPF PRO has been designed to be used with PPE including insulated gloves,
if required.
Never attempt to use the instrument on any circuit where voltage exceeds
600VAC.
Do not change the batteries if the instrument is connected to a live circuit.
1.3 Limitations of Using the EPF PRO to Detect Hazardous
Voltages
The limitation of any single pole voltage testers is that a so called ‘ghost
voltage’ may indicate a voltage present greater than 50 volts.
Ghost voltages that appear to be greater than 50 volts may not be dangerous,
however to prove if the voltage indicated is a ghost or dangerous real voltage
a quality 2 pole tester (such as one from the Socket & See VIP range) should be
used to prove the indication obtained from the EPF PRO.
For further information on single pole voltage detection and ghost voltages
please refer to the technical document on the Socket & See website.
