Fluke 1AC-II Non-Contact Voltage Tester
FOR USE BY COMPETENT PERSONS
Anyone using this instrument should be knowledgeable and trained about the risks involved with measuring voltage, especially in an industrial setting, and the importance of taking safety precautions and of testing the instrument before and after using it to ensure that it is in good working condition.
Safety Information
Warning
To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury:
- If the Tester is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, protection provided by the Tester may be affected.
- Do not use if VoltBeat is not flashing.
- Test on a known live source within the rated AC voltage range of the product, both before and after use to ensure the unit is in good working condition.
- When using the Tester, if the tip does not glow, the voltage could still be present. The Tester indicates active voltage in the presence of electrostatic fields of sufficient strength generated from the source (MAINS) voltage. If the field strength is low, the Tester may not provide indication of live voltages. Lack of an indication occurs if the Tester is unable to sense the presence of voltage which may be influenced by several factors including, but not limited to:
- Shielded wire/cables
- Thickness and type of insulation
- Distance from the voltage source
- Fully-isolated users that prevent an effective ground
- Receptacles in recessed sockets/ differences in socket design
- Condition of the Tester and Batteries
- Do not use if the Tester appears damaged or if the Tester is not operating properly. Specifically examine the probe tip for cracks or breakage before use. If in doubt, have the Tester serviced.
- Do not apply more than the rated voltage as marked on the Tester.
- Use caution with voltages above 30 V AC as a shock hazard may exist.
- Comply with local and national safety requirements.
- Use proper protective equipment as required by local or national authorities.

Operating Instructions
- Turning the Tester On
Momentarily press the green button. Listen for a double beep to confirm activation. A continual VoltBeat flash visually indicates the Tester is active. - Turning the Tester Off
Press and hold the green button for more than half a second. Listen for a long half-second beep to confirm deactivation of the Tester. The absence of the VoltBeat flash indicates the Tester is inactive. - VoltBeat (System Self-Test)
VoltBeat is a self-test feature for visual confirmation of battery and system integrity and power on. It provides a double-flash every two seconds during normal operation. - Checking for the Presence of AC Voltage
Placing the tip of the unit near an AC voltage produces a steady glow at the tip and, if enabled, a continual beep. - Auto Power Off
After about five minutes of non-use, the Tester automatically powers off to save battery life. A double beep, followed by a longer, single beep, provides an audible indication that the Tester has powered off. The absence of the VoltBeat flash serves as a visual power-off indication. - Disabling the Beeper
Disable the beeper by holding the green button down for more than two seconds during power-up. To enable the beeper again, turn the Tester off, and then turn it on. - Low Battery Indication
When the battery voltage drops below two volts, VoltBeat provides a visual indication by stopping the VoltBeat flash. Replace with two AAA (LR3) batteries. - Cleaning
Clean with a damp cloth.
