Operating instruction
Testing the unit prior to use:
- Press the flashlight button tightly, and confirm whether the light of the flashlight is dim. If the light is dim, the batteries are low and must be replaced immediately.
- Move the unit’s sensing tip close to a known AC power source (such as an outlet). If the buzzer beeps and the detection light flashes red, the unit is good and can be used.
Detecting AC voltage:
- Move the unit’s sensing tip close to the wire or socket to be tested. When the unit detects AC voltage, the buzzer will beep and the detection light will flash red.
Note: When you move the unit’s sensing tip close to an object with static charge, the unit may give an alarm; and when you move the unit’s probe close to an iron object near which there is AC current, the unit may also give an alarm.
Battery replacement
- Remove the battery cover and replace the old batteries with two new batteries of the same type (1.5V battery, AAA or equivalent), making sure that the polarity connections are correct.
- Reinstall the battery cover.
- Follow the pictures below to remove the battery cover.
Note:
- Don’t use the unit to detect an AC voltage below 60V AC or above 1000V AC. Do not use the unit for any DC voltage detection.
- If there are several lines, such as 2-phase wires or 3-phase wires, separate them far enough apart from each other and perform voltage detection on each line.
- Because the unit’s detection limit and the detection distance can affect detection, the object under test may be live even if the buzzer does not beep and the detection light does not flash. To avoid electric shock and personal injury, don’t touch any naked conductor with hand or skin.
- Due to the interference caused by the electric field in the environment, the unit may give an alarm even if the object under test does not contain AC voltage. To avoid false alarms, don’t use the unit in an intense electric field environment.
- Do not use the unit if it is damaged or operates abnormally.
- Do not use the unit for detection on any shielded conductor.
