Electric Field EF-Detection 
Press the EF button momentarily to toggle EF-Detection feature. The meter displays “EF-H” 
when it is ready. If it is too sensitive for your applications, press (Level) button momentarily 
toggles  to  lower  sensitivity  “EF-L”.  The  detected  Electric  Field  strength  is  indicated  as  a 
series of bar-graph segments on the display plus variable beep tones. 
 

 

 

Non-Contact  EF-Detection:  An  antenna  is  located  along  the  top-left  end  of  the  meter, 
which detects electric field surrounding energized live conductors. It is ideal for tracing live 
wiring  connections,  locating  wiring  breakages  and  to  distinguish  between  live  and  earth 
connections. 
Probe-Contact  EF-Detection:  For  more  precise  indication  of  live  wires,  such  as 
distinguishing  between  Live  and  Ground  connections,  use  direct  contact  testing  with  one 
single test-probe via the input terminal COM or V. The COM terminal (Black) has the best 
sensitivity.
