OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Risk of Electrocution.
Before use, always test the Detector on
a known live circuit to verify proper
operation
VOLTAGE DETECTION
1. Slide the Function switch to the Voltage
position.
2. The “VOLTAGE” LED will light. If the
LED is dim or does not light, replace
the batteries.
3. Set the Sensitivity adjustment to max.
4. If the detector begins to beep/flash,
slowly turn the sensitivity down until
the beep/flash stops.
5. Touch the detector voltage sensor to
the hot conductor or insert into the hot
side of the electrical outlet.
6. If AC voltage is present, the detector
light will flash and the audible beeper
will sound.
7. Adjust the sensitivity as needed to
zero-in and identify the live conductor.
WARNING: Risk of Electrocution.
Before use, always test the Detector on
a known live circuit to verify proper
operation
CURRENT DETECTION
NOTE: There must be a load on the
circuit (current flow) for the
current detection function to
work.
1. Slide the Function switch to the Current
position.
2. The “CURRENT” LED will light. If the
LED is dim or does not light, replace
the batteries.
3. Set the Sensitivity adjustment to the
max position
4. If detector begins to beep/flash, slowly
turn the sensitivity down until the
beep/flash stops.
5. Move the detector current sensor near
the current carrying conductor until the
current tip flashes and beeper sounds.
6. Slowly reduce the sensitivity and
reduce the distance between the
sensor and conductor to zero-in and
identify the conductor.
