TB115 Bit is capable of detecting wires
carrying live voltages using its built-in circuits in its tip.
If a voltage of 110 V AC or more is detected, the white
cap will glow red (1a) and the device vibrates. To detect
voltages below 110 V AC, switch the flashlight on using
the switch (1b). The white cap now illuminates blue (see
figure point 1a). Now voltages from 12 V AC can be
detected. If an AC voltage of 12 Volt AC or higher is
detected, the white cap will illuminate purple (blue + red
see figure, point 1a).
A flowing current is not required!
Check the voltage tester before use against a known voltage supply (e.g. a power
socket) to ensure that it is working correctly.
Do not use the voltage tester if damaged!
When using the Tester, if tip does not glow, voltage could still be present. The Tester indicates
active voltage in the presence of electrostatic fields of sufficient strength generated from the
source (MAINS) voltage. If the field strength is low, the Tester may not provide indication of live
voltages. Lack of an indication occurs if the Tester is unable to sense the presence of voltage
which may be influenced by several factors including, but not limited to:
● Shielded wire/cables
● Thickness and type of insulation
● Distance from the voltage source
● Fully-isolated users that prevent an effective ground
● Receptacles in recessed sockets/ differences in socket design
● Condition of the Tester and Batteries
