2. Safety Information

Please read all safety warnings and instructions carefully before using this product. Failure to follow these instructions may result in electric shock, fire, or serious injury.

• Do not use the device if it appears damaged or is not operating correctly.
• Always verify the device's functionality on a known live circuit before use.
• This device is designed for AC voltage detection only. Do not attempt to measure DC voltage.
• Do not exceed the specified voltage range (12V-1000V AC).
• Keep the device away from water and moisture.
• Replace batteries promptly when the low battery indicator appears to ensure accurate readings.
• This device is not a substitute for proper electrical safety procedures. Always consult a qualified electrician for complex electrical work.

3. Setup

Battery Installation:

1. Twist and remove the battery cap at the top of the tester pen.
2. Insert two (2) AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
3. Replace the battery cap, twisting it securely until it clicks into place.

The device requires 2 AAA batteries for operation. Ensure fresh batteries are used for optimal performance.

4. Operating Instructions

Power On/Off:

• Press the Power button () to turn the device on. The LCD screen will illuminate.
• Press and hold the Power button to turn the device off.
• The device features an Auto Power-Off function, automatically shutting down after 3 minutes of inactivity to conserve battery life.

Non-Contact AC Voltage Detection:

The ANENG VC1010 can detect AC voltage without direct contact, enhancing safety.

1. Turn on the device.
2. Bring the tip of the tester pen close to the wire, outlet, or electrical component you wish to test.
3. If AC voltage is detected, the device will emit an audible beep, the LED indicator will flash, and the LCD screen will display a signal strength bar graph (AC Lo for low sensitivity, AC Hi for high sensitivity).

Figure 2: Detecting AC voltage in an electrical outlet. The image shows the tester pen's tip near an outlet, with the tip glowing red, indicating voltage detection.

Figure 3: Visual indication of AC voltage detection. This illustration shows the tester pen detecting AC voltage, with the LCD screen displaying a full bar graph and 'AC Lo' or 'AC Hi' text.

Sensitivity Adjustment:

• Press the Sensitivity button (labeled 'S') to switch between high and low sensitivity modes.
• Low Sensitivity (AC Lo): Suitable for detecting higher voltages or when precise localization is not critical.
• High Sensitivity (AC Hi): Ideal for detecting lower voltages or for more precise localization of live wires.

Breakpoint Detection:

This feature allows you to identify breaks in a live wire by tracking the voltage signal.

1. Ensure the wire is live and the device is in an appropriate sensitivity mode.
2. Move the tip of the tester pen along the length of the wire.
3. The device will indicate voltage (sound, light, LCD) up to the point of the break. When the signal stops, you have located the breakpoint.

Flashlight Function:

• Press the Flashlight button () to turn the built-in LED flashlight on or off. This is useful for working in dimly lit areas.

5. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the device with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Storage: Store the device in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for extended periods, remove the batteries to prevent leakage.
• Battery Replacement: Replace batteries when the low battery indicator is displayed on the LCD screen to ensure accurate operation.
