The KAIWEETS VT500 Non-Contact Voltage Tester, a versatile tool for electrical measurements.

Safety Information

Always adhere to basic safety precautions when using electrical testing equipment to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury. This device is designed for professional and DIY use, but proper handling is crucial.

• Do not test voltage with gloves: For accurate readings and to ensure proper contact for certain functions, avoid wearing gloves during contact voltage measurements.
• Ensure the device is in good working condition before each use. Do not use if damaged.
• Do not exceed the maximum rated voltage (300V AC).
• Always assume circuits are live until proven otherwise.
• Keep the device away from water and extreme temperatures.
• Replace batteries promptly when the low battery indicator appears.

For accurate voltage readings and to avoid electric shock risks, always use the tester without gloves when performing contact measurements. The image shows the tester correctly detecting voltage when held by a bare hand, and incorrectly when held with a glove, emphasizing the importance of direct contact for certain functions.

Setup

Battery Installation

1. Locate the battery compartment cover on the back of the device.
2. Slide or unclip the cover to open.
3. Insert one AAA battery, ensuring correct polarity (+/-) as indicated inside the compartment.
4. Close the battery compartment cover securely.

Operating Instructions

1. Power On/Off

• Press the Power On/Light button (red button with power symbol) to turn on the device.
• The device will automatically power off after 15 minutes of inactivity to conserve battery life.

2. Non-Contact Voltage (NCV) Detection

• Hold the tester with the NCV sensor head (probe tip) near the wire or outlet you wish to test.
• The device will indicate the presence of AC voltage through visual (LEDs) and audible (buzzer) alerts.
• This mode is ideal for identifying live wires and detecting breakpoints in cables.

3. Live Wire Detection

• Insert the probe tip into the live terminal of an outlet or touch it to a live wire.
• The buzzer will alarm quickly, and the LED display will show 'HI' (High Voltage).

4. Voltage Measurement (Contact)

• Press and hold the Voltage measurement button.
• Touch the probe tip to the object to be measured (e.g., an outlet terminal).
• The AC voltage value (12-300V) will be displayed on the LCD screen. The buzzer will also alarm quickly.

5. Continuity Test

• Press the Continuity / Positive measurement button.
• Touch the probe tip to one end of the cable or circuit.
• If continuity is detected, the screen will display a continuity symbol and the buzzer will sound. This is useful for finding cable breakpoints.
