3. Setup and Charging

3.1 Initial Setup

Before first use, ensure the device is fully charged. The AVX1 comes with a built-in rechargeable lithium battery.

3.2 Charging the Battery

1. Locate the charging port on the device (typically at the bottom or side).
2. Connect the provided charging cable to the device.
3. Connect the other end of the charging cable to a standard USB power adapter (not included) or a computer USB port.
4. The charging indicator on the device will illuminate during charging and typically turn off or change color when fully charged.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Power On/Off

• To power on, press and hold the power button (⏻) until the screen illuminates.
• To power off, press and hold the power button again. The device also features an auto-shutdown function to conserve battery.

4.2 Phase Sequence Detection

The AVX1 can detect the phase sequence (forward or reverse) of a 3-phase AC system without direct contact.

1. Ensure the device is powered on.
2. Press the PHASE button to enter phase sequence detection mode.
3. Approach the three phases (A, B, C) with the sensing tip of the tester.
4. The LCD screen will display 'L' for reverse phase sequence or 'R' for forward phase sequence, along with corresponding indicators.

4.3 Non-Contact Voltage (NCV) Detection

The NCV function allows for safe detection of AC voltage presence.

1. Ensure the device is powered on.
2. The device automatically enters NCV mode upon power-on.
3. Approach the conductor or outlet with the sensing tip.
4. The device will beep, and the LED indicator will light up (green for low, orange for medium, red for high sensitivity detection). The screen will display an analog bar and signal strength percentage.

4.4 Sensitivity Adjustment

The AVX1 offers adjustable sensitivity for NCV detection:

• Low Sensitivity (12-1000V): Suitable for general voltage detection. Indicated by a green light and green analog bar.
• High Sensitivity (90-1000V): For detecting weaker signals or voltage from a distance. Indicated by an orange or red light and corresponding analog bar.

To switch sensitivity, press the V-Alert button. The display will indicate the current sensitivity level (LO or HI).

4.5 Temperature Unit Switching

The device supports switching between Celsius (℃) and Fahrenheit (℉) temperature units. Refer to the on-screen prompts or specific button (if available) for this function.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Battery Charging

Regularly charge the device's internal 400mAh lithium battery using the provided USB cable. A low battery indicator will appear on the screen when charging is required.

5.2 Cleaning

• Wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or corrosive chemicals.
• Ensure the device is powered off and disconnected from any power source before cleaning.
