OPERATION
NOTE: Direct, metal-to-metal contact with the conductor must be made for the
FireFly Voltage Detector to operate correctly.
1) Place the FireFly Detector at the end of a hotstick adequate for protection for the
voltage range being tested. Company, OSHA and industry safety procedures
MUST BE FOLLOWED AT ALL TIMES. Connect the detector to the hotstick by
way of the built-in universal spline, making certain it is securely attached.
2) If the FireFly Detector will be used at night or in the dark, test the Lights before
use. The lights will shut off automatically 10 minutes after the most recent
voltage detection or self-test, or they can be turned off manually.
3) Place the FireFly Detector in direct contact with the conductor being tested for
voltage or inside the loop of the fuse cutout or switch. The FireFly Detector
should be positioned as close to a 90° orientation (perpendicular) to the fuse
or switch as possible. If the conductor is energized, the detector will give both
an audible (beeping tone) and visual (red blinking lights) indication. If the
conductor is not energized no signal is given.
When operating within the unit’s voltage range (see product label), the FireFly
Detector will provide both an audible and visual alarm upon making contact
with an energized conductor. The FireFly Detector unit will not give an alarm
due to induced voltage on de-energized conductors, unless the induced
voltage level exceeds the threshold voltage of the detector.
4) Test the FireFly Detector for proper voltage detection after each use by
pushing the TEST button. See the Self-Test Operation section (page 5).
The PT-FTVD Proof Tester FireFly Voltage Detector Tester can also be used to
test the FireFly on a known voltage source before and after use (page 10).
