2ʳ
Approaching a voltage leading
part, the voltage detectors will
indicate this in several ways.
The VoltSpotter will give an
optic signal, the VoltBeeper an
optic as well as an acoustic
signal. The VoltSafe and the
VoltPointer are not only instru-
ments for voltage detection but
also for non-voltage detection,
only if earthed properly.ʳ

The instrument complies with
the EMC Directive (89/336/
EEC) specifically standards EN
50081-1 and EN 50082-1, as
well as the low Voltage

Instruction :
The contact-free voltage
detector has been developed
for voltage detecting on
(insulated) cables and conduc-
tors.
The voltage detectors do not
require maintenance. Power is
supplied by two micro batteries
AAA, 1.5 Volt IEC LR 03
(included).
Cleaning :
Use a damp cloth with house-
hold cleaner and wipe the
surface by applying light
pressure. Do not use the tester
till it is completely dry.

Features:
!""Contact-free voltage detection
100 V…1000 V AC.
!""Optic and/or acoustic signal.
Contact-free detection of AC
voltages on (insulated) cables
and conductors.
!""Locating line interruptions in
(insulated) cables and
conductors. Phase tester of
sockets.
!""Phase determination of
(3 phase) AC lines, multi core
cable and wall sockets.
!""Non-contact NON-Voltage
indication by VoltSafe and
Volt Pointer. By performing a
self-test it is not required to
guarentee the functionally of
the unit and therefore without
testing on a live source, the
unit can be used for determi-
nation of No-Voltage.
All under condition of proper
earthing through user.
Safety measures
The instrument has left our
factory in a safe and perfect
condition. To maintain this condi-
tion, the user must pay attention
to the safety references con-
tained in this instruction manual.
!Warning
This instruction manual contains
both information and warnings
that are necessary for the safe
operation and maintenance of
the instrument. It is recom-
mended that you read the
manual carefully and ensure that
its contents are fully understood.
Failure to understand these
instructions and to comply with
the warnings and instructions
contained herein can result in
serious injury or damage.
!Warning
Only touch the instrument
handle for any voltage detection.
Do not touch the tip of the
instrument while testing.

5ʳ
!Warning
The instrument may only be
used within the operating ranges
as specified in the technical data
section.
!Warning
The instrument can only be used
in properly grounded electrical
installations.
!Warning
Before use, check the instru-
ment for damages. Do not use
the tester if damages are
detected.
$
!Warning
The detector must only be
used under conditions and for
the purposes for which it has
been designed. Particular
attention should be paid to the
safety instructions, the techni-
cal specifications relating to
environmental conditions and
the use of the detector in dry
surroundings.

Indication of Non-Voltage
By switching on the detector,a
small AC Voltage is generated
by the batteries and set on the
input of the pcb. This is indicated
by a short illumination of the
red LED in the tip of the detector
and a short beep. This indicates
a sufficient Voltage level of the
batteries. If the circuit board is
in tact, the green LED in the
ON/OFF switch illuminates and
shows that the detector is tested
and according to the specifications.

Upon detection of a
Voltage over 100 VAC,
the green LED is automatically
switched off, the red LED
blinks and the beeping
signal is given. In case the
green LED stays on, there
is no Voltage higher than
100 VAC detected by the
detector. Since the
functionality of the detector
is tested, there is no doubt
the presence or absense
of Voltage.(Voltsafe/pointer only)

Battery replacementʳ
!Warning
If the instrument is likely to
remain unused for a long period
it is advised to remove the
batteries.
Please think of our environment
when getting rid of used batter-
ies. They should be disposed in
a place suitable for hazardous
waste.ʳ
Pull the battery compartment
by holding the grip on both
sides.
Remove discharged batteries
and insert new by respecting the
correct polarity.
Press battery cover careful until
latching.ʳ
