OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Prior to use, always inspect the tester for visible signs of damage. If there is
any sign of damage, or if the tester does not operate correctly, discontinue use.
Always test on a known live circuit to verify tester functionality. The tester should be used
as an indication only.
Tester should be kept clean and dry. If it is not, wipe with a clean, dry lint-free cloth.
TEST FUNCTION
Turn the sensitivity selector knob
5
to TEST in order to perform a self-test on the
unit. Look for a steady red light from all 3 LEDs
1
and listen for a steady high-pitched
sound. This self-test function confirms battery sufficiency, system integrity, and
operation/active mode. Always test on known live circuit to verify tester functionality
prior to use.
If the 3 red LEDs do not glow and the beep sound is not present, replace
batteries.
240V AC (Secondary Test)
Perform a second test function prior to use by turning the sensitivity selector knob
5
to 240V and placing the dome near a low voltage live conductor. If a low voltage live
conductor is not available, rub the dome against an item of clothing to generate static.
Look for a blinking red light from all 3 LEDs
1
and listen for a beeping sound. See
Fig. 1 on page 5 for ideal detection angle. Always test on known live circuit to verify
tester functionality prior to use.
If the 3 red LEDs do not glow and the beep sound is
not present, replace batteries.
OPERATION
Before using the unit, a hot stick must be attached. Only use with hot sticks and rubber
gloves meeting industry standards. Always follow approved work safety practices and
clearances per OSHA Sub-parts R & V and all company work rules.
Turn the sensitivity selector knob
5
to the appropriate setting. It is recommended to
start with a lower test setting than the actual working voltage, then gradually increase
the setting until the voltage is detected.
Gradually move the tester towards the live conductor until the warning signal is triggered.
See Fig. 1 on page 5 for ideal detection angle. Always maintain the minimum approach
distances listed in OSHA Tables R-6 and R-7 on pages 8 & 9 in this manual.
