Read First: Safety Information
Warning
To prevent possible electric shock or personal injury:
• Read all safety information before you use the Product.
• Do not rely on the Tester to detect the presence or absence of voltage on a
conductor for safety purposes. A single pole non-contact voltage detector
such as this Tester is NOT suitable to determine if a circuit is hazardous. A
volt meter or 2-pole voltage detector is necessary to confirm the absence of
hazardous voltage prior to commencing work
• Hold the Product behind the tactile barrier.
• Do not use the Product around explosive gas, vapor, or in damp or wet
environments.
• Replace all alkaline batteries with fresh batteries of the same manufacturer
and type to prevent battery leakage.
• Remove the alkaline batteries if the Product is not used for an extended
period of time, or if stored in temperatures above 50 °C. If the batteries are not
removed, battery leakage may result.
• Repair the Product before use if the battery leaks. Battery leakage may create
a shock hazard or damage the Product.
• Alkaline batteries contain hazardous chemicals that can cause burns. If
exposure to chemicals occurs, clean with water and get medical aid.
• If the Tester is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, protection
provided by the Tester may be affected.
• Do not use if VoltBeat is not flashing.
• Test on a known live source within the rated ac voltage range of the product,
both before and after use to ensure unit is in good working condition.
• When using the Tester, if tip does not glow, voltage could still be present. The
Tester indicates active voltage in the presence of AC electric fields of
sufficient strength emanating from the conductor. If the field strength is low,
the Tester may not provide indication of live voltages. Lack of an indication
occurs if the Tester is unable to sense the presence of the electric field which
may be influenced by several factors including, but not limited to:
• Shielded wire/cables
• Thickness and type of insulation
• Distance from the voltage source
• Fully-isolated users that prevent an effective ground
• Receptacles in recessed sockets/ differences in socket design
• Condition of the Tester and Batteries
• Do not use if the Tester appears damaged or if the Tester is not operating
properly. Specifically examine the probe tip for cracks or breakage before use.
If in doubt, have the Tester serviced.
• Do not apply more than the rated voltage as marked on the Tester.
• Use caution with voltages above 30 V ac as a shock hazard may exist.
• Comply with local and national safety codes. Use personal protective
equipment (approved rubber gloves, face protection, and flame-resistant
clothes) to prevent shock and arc blast injury where hazardous live
conductors are exposed.
