SAFETY INFORMATION
 Warning
To prevent possible electrical shock, re, or
personal injury:
• If the Voltage Probe is used in a manner not
specied by the manufacturer, protection
provided by the Voltage Probe may be affected.
• Test on a known live source within the rated
AC voltage range of the product both before
and after use to ensure the Voltage Probe is in
good working condition.
• When using the Voltage Probe, voltage may
be present even if the tip does not glow. The
Voltage Probe indicates active voltage in the
presence of electrostatic elds of sufcient
strength generated from the source voltage.
If the eld strength is low, the Voltage Probe
may not provide indication of live voltage.
Lack of an indication occurs if the Voltage
Probe is unable to sense the presence of
voltage which may be inuenced by several
factors including, but not limited to:
- Position of the earth conductors in the
environment under test
- 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 Voltage Probe and batteries
• The Voltage probe is not the appropriate tool
to check for the absence of voltage. Use a
voltage tester therefore.
• Do not use the Voltage Probe if it appears
damaged or is not operating properly. Closely
examine the probe tip for cracks or breakage
before use. If in doubt, have the Voltage
Probe serviced.
• Do not apply more than the rated voltage as
marked on the Voltage Probe.
• When operating the Voltage Probe, keep
ngers behind the nger guard.
• Do not use the Voltage Probe if it is not
ashing upon power on.
• 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
recommended or required by local or national
authorities.
