• Remove the batteries when the product is stored for extended periods.
• DO NOT attempt to repair this device; it contains no user-serviceable parts.
• Keep this product out of reach of children.

1. Battery cap
2. Detector tip
3. Guard
4. Pocket clip
5. Torch
6. Torch power button
5. InstallingtheBatteries
This product requires two AAA batteries (supplied).
To install the batteries, lift the pocket clip (4) to release the the battery cover and
insert the batteries according to the polarity marked on the side of the device.
Replace the battery cap and tighten it securely.
Important: DO NOT mix old and new batteries.
6. Operation
Important: Test the device on a known voltage before EVERY use. If the device
does not respond as expected, replace the batteries and/or test on another
known voltage. If it continues to operate abnormally, have the unit replaced or
repaired. DO NOT continue to use the device.
When the device detects a voltage at 100–600V AC (50/60Hz), the detector tip (2)
ashes and an audible “beep” is heard.
Important: Maintain a rm and comfortable grip to ensure maximum sensitivity
of the tool.
To test for AC voltage in an outlet, switch, cable or other component, position the
detector tip into the socket or in close proximity to the component.
To locate a break in a live conductor, trace the wire using the detector tip until the
voltage is no longer detected. The point at which the device stops responding
indicates the location of the break. To nd a break in a neutral conductor,
connect a load between live and neutral before tracing the wire.
Important: Lack of response from the device does NOT guarantee that a voltage
is not present. Test the wiring from all sides as the live wire may be shielded from
the detector by other conductors.
The following conditions may cause the device not to respond when a voltage
is present:
• The cable is armoured or in conduit, or the insulation is too thick.
• The cable is concealed by panels or metallic enclosures.
• The voltage is DC.
• The device is positioned too far from the voltage.
• The voltage is less than 90V.
• The operator’s grip on the device is too loose.
To operate the torch (5), press the torch power button (6) once for “on” and again
for “o”.
7. ProductCareandDisposal
This product contains no user-serviceable parts. DO NOT attempt to repair or
service this device. If the device is damaged or functioning incorrectly,
contact Draper Tools for repair and replacement options.
Clean the product using a dry cloth ONLY.
CAUTION! DO NOT use solvents or other aggressive materials as
they my damage plastic or insulated parts.

and out of reach of children.
Important: Remove the batteries from the device before storing it for
extended periods.
At the end of its working life, dispose of the product responsibly and in line with
local regulations. Recycle where possible.
• DO NOT dispose of this product with domestic waste; most local authorities
provide appropriate recycling facilities.
