PET1
INSTRUCTION MANUAL

Introduction
The PET1 is a convenient pocket-size multifunction tester, which
combines the latest digital technology with an advanced sensor to
detect high/low AC voltage.
Features include
• Non-contact AC voltage test: from 12-600 V AC
(with adjustable sensitivity)
• Detects high and low AC Voltage
• Continuity check: 0 - 80 MΩ
• Work light
Safety Notes
• The tester should not be used to test voltages above the stated
rated voltage.
• Operating temperature within -10˚ to +50˚C (14˚ to 122˚F)
and a frequency range from 50 to 500 Hz. Best results at a
temperature range up to 86˚F, humidity 80% at altitude up to
6,000 feet.
• The tester must be tested on a known voltage source to make sure
it is operating properly.
• Do not use in the presence of moisture, (e.g. dew or rain)
• Do not use if damaged
• Static electricity may be generated by rubbing the “BODY” of the
tester (when pressing the switch) thus causing the audible and
visual alert to function
• The flashlight lights up when the switch is pressed
• In case of doubt, please consult a qualified technician
Self-Test Function
Prior to use, perform a self-test to ensure full functionality. Press the
switch down and touch the "TIP" with your free hand.
The LED lights red and buzzer sounds indicating " NORM AL FUNCTION ".
Non-Contact AC Voltage Testing
Press the switch to test.
To locate "LIVE/HOT" side of a wire, lower sensitivity until the detector
only sounds on one wire.
Broken wire/fault finding
"FAULT/BREAK" point of a wire is indicated by an interruption in
sound and light (red LED).
Proper connection check
Move the tester close to an un-energized appliance. The buzzer comes
ON when power is applied.

Ground/Earthing check
Move the tester close to a plugged-in (not turned on appliance). The
buzzer comes ON if the "GROUND/EARTHING" is not connected at
the outlet.
NOTE:
1. To Reduce Sensitivity
If sensitivity is too high, rotate adjustment left (counter-clockwise)
2. Static electricity may be generated by rubbing the plastic housing
thus causing an indication (LED blinks).
3. The sensitivity may be reduced under high humidity environments.
4. Test only insulated (unshielded) wires that are connected to
AC voltage.
5. Wires inside concrete walls or metal conduit cannot be detected.
Continuity Check
WARNING!
Be sure to disconnect any AC mains or high voltage!
Press test switch then contact one side of an object to the "TEST PIN"
and the other side of the object with your free hand. The PET1 will
easily identify"GOOD" or "BAD" fuses, bulbs, heating elements,
wiring etc.
