TACKLIFE VT02 Advanced AC Voltage Detector User Manual

Safety Information

[Warning] Before using this instrument, please fully read all safety information carefully and strictly observe the safety rules and the precautions & warnings listed.

Safety Precautions

• Use the Product only as specified, or the protection supplied by the Product can be compromised.
• Do not use the tester when there is no reaction on the LCD screen.
• Before using the voltage detector, test a known power supply first to ensure it's in good working condition.
• When using this voltage detector, even if there is no indication or no sound alarm, there may still be a voltage. The detector indicates effective voltage based on the electrostatic field intensity. Weak field strength may prevent detection. Results can be affected by factors like shielded wires, insulation thickness/type, distance from voltage sources, and socket design.
• Before using the tester, inspect the exterior casing for damage or missing parts. Pay special attention to the insulation around connectors. Contact for refund/replacement if quality problems are found.
• Do not apply more than the rated voltage marked on the detector.
• Exercise special care when the tester pen is working at an effective voltage over 30V rms in AC due to the danger of electric shock.
• Comply with local and national safety regulations and use appropriate protective equipment.

The Structure

A diagram shows the TACKLIFE VT02 AC Voltage Detector with labeled parts: 1. Probe (NCV sensor), 2. LED flashlight, 3. Signal indicator, 4. LCD screen, 5. Power button, 6. Sensitivity/Flashlight button, 7. Battery compartment.

Operating Instructions

Switching on/off

• Press the power button for 2 seconds to switch on the voltage tester. The buzzer alarms, and the LCD screen lights up.
• To switch off the tester, press the power button once; the screen lights off.

High/low sensitivity

When first turned on, the tester defaults to low sensitivity mode (48-1000V). Press and hold the sensitivity/flashlight button until the LED light turns on, then press the same button once to switch to high sensitivity mode (12-1000V).

Notes:

• High sensitivity: 12~1000V
• Low sensitivity: 48~1000V

LED Flashlight

• To turn on the LED light, press the sensitivity/flashlight button for more than 2 seconds.
• To turn off the LED light, press the same button for more than 2 seconds.
• The tester automatically switches off after approximately 3 minutes of inactivity (no button pressed, no voltage signal detected) to save batteries.

Live/Null Wire Detection

Live Wire Test

When the sensor end is close to the object, a fast-paced buzzer alarms, the red indicator flashes quickly, and the LCD shows red light, indicating a LIVE WIRE.

Null Wire Test

When the sensor end is close to the object, a slow-paced buzzer alarms, the red indicator flashes slowly, and the LCD shows green light, indicating a Null Wire.

AC Voltage Detection

This tester is for AC voltage only. TACKLIFE offers meters for DC voltage testing.

Place the probe near the AC power supply. When AC voltage is sensed, the red indicator flashes. The stronger the voltage, the more bright bars appear on the LCD screen, and the buzzer alarms more frequently.

Notes on Detection

Note 1: For sockets with different structures, the LCD light color might not always distinguish live/null wires. If the red light flickers for both live and null wires in a socket test, distinguish them by the number of brightness bars on the screen. All brightness bars appear when approaching a live wire. (A similar situation may occur in testing a null wire forming circuit.)

Note 2: To distinguish live and null wires that are very close, separate them as much as possible. If inseparable, distinguish by signal strength: a strong signal indicates a live wire, and a weak signal indicates a null wire.

Automatic Shutdown

The tester automatically switches off after approximately 3 minutes of inactivity (no button pressed, no voltage sensed) to save batteries.

Low Battery Indicator

When the battery voltage drops below 2.5 volts, the LCD displays a [Low Battery Symbol], indicating the need to replace batteries. The tester can still be used for a few more times. When the voltage drops below 2.3 volts, the detector automatically turns off. Replace batteries promptly when the indicator appears, as low battery can lead to false readings and potential electric shock or injury.

Technical Specifications

Maintenance

Replace the Battery

Rotate the battery cover as shown in the diagram, then remove old batteries and replace them with two new batteries according to the positive and negative instructions. A diagram illustrates the battery compartment, showing how to rotate the cover to access and replace the batteries.

[Warning] In order to avoid electric shock, voltage test should not be used before locking the battery cover.

Cleaning

Wipe off debris using a moist and soft cloth. Do not use any cleaning agents or solvents.

Notes: After cleaning, the voltage detector must be dried before it can be used.
