WARNINGS
To ensure safe operation and service of the tester, follow these
instructions. Failure to observe these warnings can result in severe
injury or death.
• Risk of electric shock and burn. Contact with live circuits could result in death
or serious injury.
• Use caution with voltages above 25V AC as a shock hazard may exist.
• A blinking LED or a steadily illuminated LED in the tip and audible beeps
indicate presence of voltage. If no indication, voltage could still be present.
• Before and after each use, verify operation by testing a known working circuit
that is within the rating of this unit.
• Never assume neutral or ground wires are de-energized. Neutrals in multi-
wire branch circuits may be energized when disconnected and must be
retested before handling.
• The tester WILL NOT detect voltage if:WILL NOT
detect voltage if:
WILL NOT
• The wire is shielded.
• The operator is not grounded or is otherwise isolated from an effective
earth ground.
• The voltage is DC.
• The tester MAY NOT detect voltage if:
• The user is not holding the tester.
• The user is insulated from the tester with a glove or other materials.
• The wire is partially buried or in a grounded metal conduit.
• The tester is at a distance from the voltage source.
• The field created by the voltage source is being blocked, dampened, or
otherwise interfered with.
• The frequency of the voltage is not a perfect sine wave between 50 and
500Hz.
• The tester is outside of operating conditions (listed in Specifications
section).
• Operation may be affected by differences in socket design and insulation
thickness and type; tester may not be compatible with some types of standard
or tamper resistant (TR) electrical outlets.
• In bright light conditions, the LED visual indicators will be less visible.
• When powered-ON, one of the “power-ON” LED’s will be illuminated, and a
green light will illuminate the tip. DO NOT USE TESTER UNLESS ONE OF THE
“POWER-ON” LEDsIS ILLUMINATED.
• Do not use if tester appears damaged or is not operating properly. If in doubt,
replace the tester.
• Do not apply more than the rated voltage as marked on the tester (1000V).
• Do not apply to uninsulated hazardous live conductors.
• Detection above 70V AC is specified under "normal" conditions as detailed
below. The tester may detect at a different threshold at different conditions, or
may not detect at all unless:
• The tip of the tester is within 0.25" (6 mm) of an AC voltage source radiating
unimpeded.
• The user is holding the body of the tester with his or her bare hand.
• The user is standing on or connected to earth ground.
• The air humidity is nominal (50% relative humidity – non-condensing).
• The tester is held still.
• Always wear approved eye protection.
• Comply with local and national safety requirements.
• If this product is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer,
protection provided by the product may be affected.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CHECKING FOR THE PRESENCE OF AC VOLTAGE
1. Press the Power On / Off button. After performing a self-test, a
green LED
3
will illuminate the tip when no voltage is detected.
2. Prior to use, test on a known live circuit to verify tester
functionality.
3. Place tip of the tester
4
near AC voltage. If voltage is present,
the unit will emit audible beeps and the red LED
3
in the tip will
illuminate.
SILENT OPERATION
To activate silent operation, power-ON by pressing and holding the
NCV Power-ON button
1
for more than 2 seconds. Power-ON in this
manner each time silent operation is desired.
CLEANING
Be sure tester is turned off and wipe with a clean, dry lint-free
cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
STORAGE
Remove the batteries when not in use for a prolonged period
of time. Do not expose to high temperatures or humidity. After
a period of storage in extreme conditions exceeding the limits
mentioned in the General Specifications section, allow the tester to
return to normal operating conditions before using.
