3. Product Overview

The ANENG B15 is a compact and robust electrical tester pen. It features a non-contact voltage detection sensor, a direct contact probe, and LED indicators for clear feedback.

Figure 1: The AirheadStorm ANENG B15 DC Voltage Tester Pen shown with its retail packaging. The pen features a non-contact sensor, LED indicators (Low V, Zero, High Voltage), and a button for operation. The tip is a flathead screwdriver style probe.

Figure 2: This image illustrates the ANENG B15 tester pen in different operational scenarios. It shows the pen detecting voltage, with green and red LED indicators illuminating based on the detected voltage level. The NCV function is highlighted, demonstrating how the pen can detect live wires without direct contact.

Key Components:

• Non-Contact Sensor: Detects AC voltage without physical contact.
• LED Indicators: Visual alerts for voltage levels (Low V, Zero, High Voltage).
• Operation Button: Activates specific testing modes.
• Probe Tip: For direct contact testing and screwdriver functionality.
• Negative Pole Probe Socket: For connecting an external probe for DC measurements.

4. Setup

The ANENG B15 DC Voltage Tester Pen is designed for immediate use. No complex assembly is required. Ensure the device is clean and free from any damage before first use.

1. Initial Inspection: Unpack the tester pen and inspect it for any visible damage.
2. Battery Check: While the manual does not specify battery installation, ensure the device powers on. If it does not, refer to the troubleshooting section or contact support.
3. Familiarization: Identify the non-contact sensor, LED indicators, operation button, and probe tip.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Non-Contact Voltage (NCV) Detection

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

1. Hold the tester pen and bring the non-contact sensor end close to the wire, outlet, or circuit you wish to test.
2. The device will emit escalating sound warnings and illuminate LED indicators (e.g., red for high voltage, green for low voltage) if AC voltage is detected.
3. The intensity of the sound and light indicates the proximity and strength of the detected voltage.

5.2 DC Voltage Testing

For direct current (DC) voltage measurements, use the probe tip and the negative pole probe socket.

1. Connect an external probe (if provided or required) to the negative pole probe socket (COM input).
2. Touch the main probe tip of the tester pen to the positive point of the DC circuit.
3. Touch the external probe (connected to COM) to the negative point of the DC circuit.
4. Observe the LED indicators for voltage presence.

5.3 Wire Breakpoint Finder

The NCV mode can assist in locating breaks in live wires.

1. Ensure the wire is live (carrying current).
2. Slowly move the NCV sensor along the length of the insulated wire.
3. The tester will indicate voltage presence until it reaches the point of the break, where the indication will cease.

5.4 Comprehensive Component Testing

The ANENG B15 can be used for basic checks on various electronic components for voltage presence.

1. Depending on the component and circuit, use either the NCV function or the direct contact probe method.
2. Apply the tester to the component's terminals or connection points.
3. Interpret the LED indicators to determine voltage status.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the device with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Storage: Store the tester pen in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Battery Replacement: If the device fails to power on or indicators are dim, replace the batteries (if user-replaceable; consult manufacturer if unsure).
