Volt Sensor™
Operating Instructions
The Volt Sensor™ detects 40-600 VAC with respect to ground by simply
grasping the instrument in your hand, depressing the clip and placing the
tip near a live wire.
FEATURES
Non Contact Voltage detection on lines with 40-600 VAC
Reads hot wire with respect to ground. Easy to recognize voltage with
audible and visual indications.
Compact, light, sleek, hand-held design, complete with a durable
built in pocket clip.
WARNINGS
1. Instrument indicates positive presence of voltage between
40-600 VAC. Do not assume that no indication means a dead
or de-energized circuit.
2. Voltages below 40V may not be detected by the Volt Sensor and may
pose a shock hazard. These voltages can cause serious personal
injury.
3. Do not operate without clip in place to avoid electric shock.
4. 600VAC is the maximum voltage that this instrument is designed to
detect.
5. Do not use for indicating the presence of DC power.
6. Voltage detector will not read voltages through metal conduct or the
like, and will not read through walls at a distance.
7. If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by IDEAL, the
protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
OPERATION
1. Remove the battery cap, insert the two batteries. Be sure the batteries
are inserted in correct polarity as indicated. Place the cap back on.
2. Hold the Volt Sensor in your hand by grasping and depressing the
side clip firmly. Check device with a known live current source (wall
receptacle or cord) while keeping the clip pressed against the pad.
The Volt Sensor is indicating voltage as long as the red LED light
flashes and the “beep” sound continues to oscillate in close
proximity of a cord connected to a power source.
3. After verifying proper operation in step 2, the circuit in question can
be tested.
