INTRODUCTION
The Personal Safety H.V. Detector is a
sensor for sensing AC High Voltage. It
provides electric engineering personnel,
power engineering personnel, reghting
personnel and instrument equipment workers
with prominent warning when approaching
high voltage and for taking necessary safety
action, preventing illusion and misjudgment
which could lead to electric shock to person.
When a person wearing the detector
is approaching high voltage source
or equipment, the sensor will detect
automatically and buzzer will generate a
"BeBe" sound for warning and LED will
ash to remind operators that the user is
approaching a high voltage sauce and
special attention shall be given to the safety
of operations.

METHOD OF USE
1. Inspection before use
(1) Check the appearance and structure for
any abnormality.
(2) Press Self-Test switch(about 10 seconds)
to conrm all functions are working
normally.
(3) To be careful and to avoid misjudgment,
test the unit by contacting AC 110V
insulated wire with its front side to see if it
sounds and ashes.
2. Wearing
(1) Wear the unit in front of the safety helmet.
3 hooks hold the
elastic cord around
the safety helmet.

(2) Wear the unit at the pocket in front of your
shirt (chest).
(3) Wear the unit to the outer side of fore arm
with the sensing side faces outwardly.

-7-
The effect is best when the sensing side is
facing high voltage in right angle (90 Deg.).
When it is worn at the inner side of arm or is
covered by cloth, the sensitivity is poor.
3. Combination for attachment to chest pocket

CLEANING & REPLACING BATTERY
1. Sensing side shall maintain clean. The case
may be cleaned with soft fabric and mild
detergent. No solvent or corrosive agent may
be used.
2. Replacing battery
(1) When the sound become weak, the
battery shall be replaced.
(2) Use coin to open battery cover and
remove used battery. Place new battery
into slot with the battery positive (+) face
up and fasten battery cover with coin.

CAUTIONS
1. This instrument is an auxiliary testing unit
and is only for obtaining warning as additional
protection. Never use this instrument as
substitution for Tester. Electrical Test shall be
the prime electric testing instrument.
2. Other than affected by now you wear,
the sensing and warning distance may
be inuenced by direction of electric article,
ambient environment, shielding objects and
weather conditions.
3. Buzzer has inner water-proof lm. Do not
pierce it with sharp article.
4. Do not store this instrument outdoor or inside
of car for long time to avoid direct sunbeam
and high temperature.
5. The instrument shall not be dropped or
impacted heavily. If such situation does
happen, perform inspection and self-test to
ensure no damage occurred before using
again.
6. If the instrument is rinsed by rain, remove
battery and place it at cool place for natural
dry.
