structions and safety information in
this manual before operating or ser-
vicing this tool.
1 Safety
This instruction manual and any markings on the tool provide in-
formation for avoiding hazards and unsafe practices related to the
use of this tool. Observe all of the safety information provided.
WARNING
Read and understand this material
before operating or servicing this
equipment. Failure to understand how
to safely operate this tool can result in
an accident causing serious injury or
death.
WARNING
Electric shock hazard - contact with
live circuits can result in severe injury
or death.
WARNING
Electric shock hazard:
 Do not use the unit if it is wet or
damaged.
 Do not apply more than the rated
voltage between the probe tip and
earth ground.
 Do not operate with the case
open.
Failure to observe these warning can
result in severe injury or death.
WARNING
 Do not attempt to repair this unit. It
contains no
parts.
 Do not expose the unit to ex-
tremes in temperature or high hu-
midity (see specifications).
Failure to observe these precautions
can result in injury and can damage
the instrument.

4 Operation
The Voltage Detector is useful for the identifying phase conduc-
tors, finding a break in a wire and detecting the presence of AC volt-
age at:

outlets,

switches,

circuit breakers,

fuses,

wires and cables.
Note: The voltage detector can be used to find a break in a wire:

to find a break in a phase conductor, trace the wire until the
signal stops,

to find a break in a neutral conductor, connect a load between
the phase and neutral. Trace the wire until the signal stops.

5 Operating of voltage detector

Test the unit on known functioning circuit or component:

If the unit does not function as expected on a known func-
tioning circuit, replace the batteries.

If the unit still does not function as expected, send the unit to
repair.

Place the probe tip on or near the circuit or unit to be tested.
LED and audible beeper indicate the presence of AC Voltage
from 90...1000 V (50/60 Hz).
Note:

The voltage detector cannot detect voltage on armored cable
or on cable in conduit, behind panels or in metallic enclosures.

The detector can react to extremely low frequency electrostatic
field, such as electrified materials.
 The detector can show the presence of voltage at a greater di-
stance from the object, in the case of high concentration of live
objects in the near to measured object (eg. circuits box).
6 Battery replacement
1. Disconnect the unit from the circuit.
2. Fold back the clip (4) and remove detector handle (2) by moving it
to the right side (according to the picture).
3. Replace the batteries (wrong polarity of batteries may damage de-
tector).
