In the 12 V
– 50 V mode, if the tester detects an alternating
voltage the LED flashes, the motor vibrates and the buzzer
sounds.
In the 50 V
– 1000 V mode, if the tester detects an alternat-
ing voltage the LED is solid on, the motor vibrates and the
buzzer sounds.
The position of the earth conductor in DUT can influence
the testing.
A flowing current is not required!
When using the Tester, if the tip does not glow, voltage could
still be present. The Tester indicates active voltage in the pres-
ence 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 includ-
ing, 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 de-
sign.
Condition of the Tester and Batteries.
Torch Light
By pressing the torch light button, the torch light switches on.
