4. Package Contents

Upon opening the package, verify that all items are present and undamaged:

• 1 x ANENG VD807 Pen Voltage Tester
• 2 x 1.5V AAA Batteries
• 1 x User Manual

5. Setup

5.1 Battery Installation

1. Locate the battery compartment cover on the back of the tester.
2. Open the cover by sliding or unscrewing it, depending on the design.
3. Insert two 1.5V AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
4. Close the battery compartment cover securely.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Power On/Off

Press the power button located on the side of the tester to turn it on. Press and hold the power button to turn it off.

6.2 Non-Contact AC Voltage Detection (NCV)

The NCV function allows for safe detection of AC voltage without direct contact with live conductors.

1. Turn on the tester.
2. Position the tip of the tester near a terminal strip, outlet, or AC power cord.
3. If AC voltage is detected, the tester's tip will glow red, and an audible beeping sound will be emitted. The frequency of the beeps and the intensity of the light will increase as the voltage strength increases.

6.3 Live/Neutral Wire Identification

The VD807 can differentiate between live and neutral wires using its two-color display screen.

1. When the tester detects a live wire, the LCD screen will typically turn red and display a higher voltage reading, along with a strong audible alarm.
2. When detecting a neutral wire, the LCD screen will typically turn green and show a low or zero voltage reading, with a weaker or no audible alarm.

6.4 Wire Breakpoint Finding

To locate a breakpoint in a wire:

1. Ensure the wire is connected to a power source.
2. Slowly move the tester along the length of the wire.
3. The tester will indicate voltage presence up to the point of the break. The alarm and display will cease or significantly reduce past the breakpoint.

6.5 Flashlight Function

The integrated LED flashlight can be activated to provide illumination in dark work environments.

1. Press the flashlight button (if separate) or a designated button to toggle the flashlight on/off. Refer to the device markings for specific button functions.

7. Maintenance

7.1 Cleaning

Wipe the tester with a dry, clean cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.

7.2 Battery Replacement

When the battery indicator shows low power, replace the AAA batteries as described in the Setup section (5.1 Battery Installation).

7.3 Storage

Store the tester in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Remove batteries if the device will not be used for an extended period.

8. Troubleshooting

• No Power/Display: Check if the batteries are correctly installed and have sufficient charge. Replace batteries if necessary.
• Inaccurate Readings/No Detection: Ensure the tester tip is close enough to the conductor. Test on a known live circuit to confirm functionality. Environmental factors or strong electromagnetic fields can sometimes affect readings.
• Constant Alarm: If the tester constantly alarms without being near a known voltage source, it might be detecting residual voltage or interference. Try moving to a different location or re-calibrating by turning it off and on.
