ENGLISH
WARNINGS
To ensure safe operation and service of the tester, follow these
instructions. Failure to observe these warnings can result in severe
injury or death.
•
Risk of electric shock and burn. Contact with live circuits could result in death
or serious injury.
•
Use caution with voltages above 25V AC as a shock hazard may exist.
•
A blinking LED or a steadily illuminated LED in the tip and audible beeps
indicate presence of voltage. If no indication, voltage could still be present.
•
Before and after each use, verify operation by testing a known working circuit
that is within the rating of this unit.
•
Never assume neutral or ground wires are de-energized. Neutrals in multi-
wire branch circuits may be energized when disconnected and must be
retested before handling.
•
The tester
WILL NOT
detect voltage if:
WILL NOT
detect voltage if:
•
The wire is shielded.
•
The operator is not grounded or is otherwise isolated from an effective
earth ground.
•
The voltage is DC.
•
The tester
MAY NOT
detect voltage if:
•
The user is not holding the tester.
•
The user is insulated from the tester with a glove or other materials.
•
The wire is partially buried or in a grounded metal conduit.
•
The tester is at a distance from the voltage source.
•
The field created by the voltage source is being blocked, dampened, or
otherwise interfered with.
•
The frequency of the voltage is not a perfect sine wave between 50 and
500Hz.
•
The tester is outside of operating conditions (listed in Specifications
section).
•
Operation may be affected by differences in socket design and insulation
thickness and type; tester may not be compatible with some types of standard
or tamper resistant (TR) electrical outlets.
•
In bright light conditions, the LED visual indicators will be less visible.
•
When powered-ON, one of the “power-ON” LED’s will be illuminated, and a
green light will illuminate the tip.
DO NOT USE TESTER UNLESS ONE OF THE
“POWER-ON” LED
s
IS ILLUMINATED.
•
Do not use if tester appears damaged or is not operating properly. If in doubt,
replace the tester.
•
Do not apply more than the rated voltage as marked on the tester (1000V).
•
Do not apply to uninsulated hazardous live conductors.
•
Detection above 70V AC is specified under "normal" conditions as detailed
below. The tester may detect at a different threshold at different conditions, or
may not detect at all unless:
•
The tip of the tester is within 0.25" (6 mm) of an AC voltage source radiating
unimpeded.
•
The user is holding the body of the tester with his or her bare hand.
•
The user is standing on or connected to earth ground.
•
The air humidity is nominal (50% relative humidity – non-condensing).
•
The tester is held still.
•
Always wear approved eye protection.
•
Comply with local and national safety requirements.
•
If this product is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer,
protection provided by the product may be affected.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CHECKING FOR THE PRESENCE OF AC VOLTAGE
1. Press the Power On / Off button. After performing a self-test, a
green LED
3
will illuminate the tip when no voltage is detected.
2. Prior to use, test on a known live circuit to verify tester
functionality.
3. Place tip of the tester
4
near AC voltage. If voltage is present,
the unit will emit audible beeps and the red LED
3
in the tip will
illuminate.
SILENT OPERATION
To activate silent operation, power-ON by pressing and holding the
NCV Power-ON button
1
for more than 2 seconds. Power-ON in this
manner each time silent operation is desired.
CLEANING
Be sure tester is turned off and wipe with a clean, dry lint-free
cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
STORAGE
Remove the batteries when not in use for a prolonged period
of time. Do not expose to high temperatures or humidity. After
a period of storage in extreme conditions exceeding the limits
mentioned in the General Specifications section, allow the tester to
return to normal operating conditions before using.

MAINTENANCE
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
When the battery is low, the unit will power-on with a blinking red
LED
2
. When this happens, the batteries must be replaced:
1. Unscrew the battery cap
7
and remove/recycle spent batteries.
2. Install two new AAA batteries. Note proper polarity.
3. Screw battery cap tightly to ensure a tight seal with the O-Ring
6
.
FUNCTION BUTTONS
NCV POWER ON/OFF BUTTON
1
Press and release the NCV Power button
1
. The tester will emit a
single beep, the Power On Indicator
2
and green LED
3
in the tip
will illuminate. To power-OFF the tester, press and release the Power
On / Off button
1
. The tester will emit a double beep.
NOTE: The tester will automatically power-OFF following 4 minutes of
inactivity to conserve battery life.
