1. INTRODUCTION
NOTE
This detector has been designed and tested according
to CE Safety Requirements for Electronic Measuring
Apparatus. Follow all warnings to ensure safe operation.
WARNING
READ "SAFETY PRECAUTION" (NEXT PAGE)
BEFORE USING THE NON-CONTACT VOLTAGE
DETECTOR.

2. SAFETY PRECAUTION
Electricity can cause severe injuries with high voltages.
Therefore it is very important to read the following info
before using the Non-contact Voltage Detector.
This must only be used and operated by a competent
trained person and in strict accordance with the
instructions. We will not accept liability for any damage
or injury caused by misuse or non compliance with
instructions and safety procedures.
Examine the Non-contact Voltage Detector to make sure
it is clean and dry. If it is not, wipe with a clean, dry, lint-
free cloth.
The Non-contact Voltage Detector test should always be
used as an indication only.
Read all safety information carefully before attempting to
operate or service the Non-contact Voltage Detector.
Use the Non-contact Voltage Detector only as specied
in this manual. Otherwise, the protection provided by the
Non-contact Voltage Detector may be impaired.
Please keep in your mind to wear high insulated gloves
when you test high voltages between 600V~1.5kV.

Please keep in your mind to wear high insulated gloves
and to use the hot stick or telescopic hot stick when you
test high voltages between 1.5kV~132kV.
3. APPLICATIONS
●Non-contact detection of live voltages

6. OPERATION
●Power and range selection switch
When users turn on the Non-contact Voltage
Detector, the blue LED will ash and the buzzer
will generate a sound intermittently, Select "HIGH"
range for high voltage
detection, "LOW" range for low voltage detection.
●LOW range (Low voltage detection)
Select the range of LOW (Low voltage range), the
blue LED will ash and the buzzer will generate a
sound intermittently.
The LOW range for low voltage detection 50V~1.5kV
Place the sensing tip of the Non-contact Voltage
Detector near a low voltage line (50V~1.5kV), but
not touching the line, the blue LED will glow and the
sound will last continuously.

●HIGH range (High voltage detection, Telescopic
hot stick or Hot stick must be attached)
Select the range of HIGH (High voltage range), the
blue LED will ash and the buzzer will generate a
sound intermittently.
The HIGH range for high voltage detection 1.5kV~
132kV.
Place the sensing tip of the Non-contact Voltage
Detector near a high voltage source (1.5kV~132kV),
but not touching the high voltage source, the blue
LED will glow and the sound will last continuously.

7. MAINTENANCE
●Battery replacement
(1) Unscrew the battery cover on the rear with a
screwdriver, then slide the battery cover off the
tester.
(2) Take out the battery.
(3) Replace with a new battery
(Alkaline battery 9V) .
(4) Reinstall the battery cover and fasten the cover
screws.

●Cleaning and Storage :
(1) Periodically wipe the case with a damp cloth and
detergent; do not use abrasives or solvents.
(2) If the detector is not used for periods of longer
than 60 days, remove the battery and store them
separately.
WARNING
To avoid electrical shock or damage to the meter,
do not get water inside the case.
