HOW TO USE IT
1 CONNECT TO A SUITABLE HOT STICK:
The V-DETECT AC Voltage Detector
will accept either a shotgun stick or a universal spline connection.
2 TURN IT ON:
Press the ON/OFF button and verify that the instrument turns on all
voltage range lights one at a time from the lowest range to the highest, returns to
the lowest range and then turns on the voltage indicating lights and beeper. The
presence of the lights and beeper indicates that the instrument is detecting an
internally generated voltage to test the entire circuit. If the V-DETECT AC Voltage
Detector stays on following this test it has passed the self test and is ready to use.
If it turns off after this test then it has not passed the self test and must be
recharged or serviced. While the instrument is on it will emit a very short beep
and flash of the lights once every
FOUR SECONDS.
3 SELECT A VOLTAGE RANGE:
Use the up and down arrows to select a voltage range.
The lowest range setting is indicated by the lowest voltage range shown on the label.
Always select a voltage range at or just below the voltage of the conductor to be
tested. The lowest voltage range shown on the label is line to ground voltage.
All higher ranges are line to line voltage.
