4. INTRODUCTION
4.1 SCOPE
This Socket Tester can be used to determine whether socket wiring is correct or incorrect.
In conjunction with the coding table provided, the three combined indicators indicate the true
status of the wiring condition. The voltage tester detects AC voltage in outlets, lighting fixtures,
circuit breakers, wires and cables.

4.3 HANDLING AND STORAGE
Although these testers is small in size, care must still be taken when handling. Dropping these
testers will have an effect on the accuracy and may also result in personal injury. These testers is
not a toy and must be respected.
The environment will have a negative result on its operation if you are not careful. If the air is
damp, components will rust. If the machine is unprotected from dust and debris; components will
become clogged: And if not cleaned and maintained correctly or regularly the tester will not
perform at its best.

5. HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
5.1 GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR SOCKET TESTER USE
Warning: Do not use tester if wet or damaged in any way.
WARNING
1. In order to avoid electrical shock, use proper safety measures when working with voltages
above 32V AC rms, 42V AC peak or 60V DC.
These voltages can pose a shock hazard.
2. If a plug adapter has to be used to test a socket or a lead connection, ensure that this adapter
is in a perfect condition and that the protective conductor connection of the adapter is
continuously connected. Using the tester without continuous protective conductor leads to
faulty test results.
3. Before use, check that the instrument is in perfect working order, for example, verify the
instrument's operation with a known voltage source.
4. For socket wiring test, a clear and safe statement concerning the test result can only be given
in connection with the touching of the contact electrode.
5. This instrument cannot detect N/Earth reverse.
6. The indicators may at times light up weakly depending on the distributed capacitance of the
electrical installation.
7. Always keep the instrument dry.
8. Don't touch any conductor with hand or skin to avoid electric shock.
9. The instrument must only be used under the conditions and for the purposes for which it has
been designed.
5.2 GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR VOLTAGE TESTER USE
Warning: Do not use tester if wet or damaged in any way.
WARNING
1. In order to avoid electrical shock, use proper safety measures when working with voltages
above 32V AC rms, 42V AC peak or 60V DC.
These voltages can pose a shock hazard.
2. If a plug adapter has to be used to test a socket or a lead connection, ensure that this adapter
is in a perfect condition and that the protective conductor connection of the adapter is
continuously connected. Using the tester without continuous protective conductor leads to
faulty test results.
3. Always check the tester on a known live circuit before use.
4. Place tip of the tester near an AC voltage. If the tester detects voltage, the LED in the tip of the
tester illuminates red.
5. Always keep the instrument dry.
6. Don't touch any conductor with hand or skin to avoid electric shock.
7. The instrument must only be used under the conditions and for the purposes for which it has
been designed.
