Elite Voltage / Continuity Tester
Instruction Sheet
WARNINGS
To avoid possible electric shock, personal injury, or death, follow these guidelines.
• Do not use if tester appears damaged or is not operating properly.
• Inspect and replace leads if insulation is damaged, metal is exposed, or probes are cracked.
• Do not use meter if it operates abnormally as protection maybe impaired.
• Do not use tester for more than the rated voltage on the tester.
• Do not use without the battery and the back case properly installed.
• Do not apply more than the rated voltage to the meter.
• Do not use during electrical storms or in wet weather.
• Do not use around explosive gas, dust, or vapor.
• Ensure all fingers are behind finger guard when testing for voltage.
• This tester will not detect voltages at a distance, such as through walls, metal conduit, or shielded wire.
• Before each use perform a continuity test by touching the probe tips together, an audible sound should be
heard and the continuity [•

)
)] LED should light. This test verifies the functionality of the battery and test leads.
• Use the 3 Point Safety Method. (1) Verify tester operation by measuring a known voltage. (2) Apply tester to circuit under test. (3) Return to the known live voltage again to ensure proper operation.
• Replace batteries as soon as low battery indicator appears.
• If this tester is used in a manner not specified by IDEAL, protection provided by the product may be impaired.
• Comply with local and national safety requirements, including the use of appropriate personal protective equipment.
Features:
• Non-Contact Voltage Sensor (40-600VAC)
• Audible and LED Indication of Voltage Levels
• Low Impedance Measuring Device
• Vibration Mode (61-092)
• Auto-Switching Voltage/Continuity Technology
• Replaceable Silicone Test Leads
To Measure Voltage (AC
~
/DC
):
• Place the black test lead into the “COM” input and the red test lead into the “V+” input on the tester.
• Connect the tester in parallel with the load or circuit.
• The tester will automatically turn on, indicating both the voltage type and the voltage level.
To Test for Continuity:
• Place the black test lead into the “COM” input and the red test lead into the “V+” input on the tester.
• De-Energize circuit before performing continuity test. Note, if voltage is present in the circuit, the tester will automatically switch to voltage indication mode.
• Test for continuity by connecting the meter to the circuit.
• If circuit is complete, an audible indication will be heard and the [•

)] LED lights green.
• Continuity is indicated at less than 20
Ω
.
To Use The Non-Contact Voltage (NCV) Sensor:
• The non-contact voltage sensor protrudes from the top of the tester.
• While placing the sensor near the circuit to be tested, press the button labeled “NCV”.
• If 40 to 600 VAC is present, an audible indication will be heard and the “NCV” LED lights.
• The closer the NCV sensor is to the AC voltage, the louder the beep.
• To differentiate between the hot and neutral in an outlet, insert the tab into each slot of the outlet. The beeper will be louder on the hot side of the outlet rather than
the neutral.
• The red test lead can also be used to further differentiate between the hot and neutral. Insert the red test lead into the “V+” input of the tester, slide the red probe into test
probe holder. While pressing the “NCV” button, insert the red probe into the outlet. The beeper will sound and the “NCV” LED will light on the hot side of the outlet.
Shaker Function (61-092)
• Tester starts shaking at 30VAC.
• The tester shakes at an increasingly variable level that allows the user to differentiate between 60V, 120V, 240V, and 480 VAC.
Low Battery Indicator:
The •

) LED will flash red if battery voltage is low when checking circuit voltage or continuity. Replace batteries immediately to ensure reliable performance.
Battery Replacement
1. Disconnect test leads from any live source and remove the test leads from the input terminals.
2. The battery cover is secured to the bottom case by two screws. Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, remove the screws from the battery cover and remove the battery cover.
3. Remove battery and replace with four new 1.5 volt (AAA size) batteries.
4. Replace the battery cover and reinstall the screws.
Maintenance:
Clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. If the tester acts erratically, or the flashes red, change the batteries.
