1. Introduction
NOTE
This detector has been designed and tested
according to CE Safety Requirements for Electronic
Measuring Apparatus. Follow all warnings to ensure
safe operation.
WARNING
READ "SAFETY PRECAUTION" (NEXT PAGE)
BEFORE USING THE HIGH VOLTAGE DETECTOR.
2. Safety precaution
Electricity can cause severe injuries with high
voltages. Therefore it is very important to read the
following info before using the Non-contact High
Voltage Detector.
This must only be used and operated by a
competent trained person and in strict accordance
with the instructions. We will not accept liability for
any damage or injury caused by misuse or non
compliance with instructions and safety procedures.
Examine the Non-contact High Voltage Detector to
make sure it is clean and dry. If it is not, wipe with a
clean, dry, lint-free cloth.
The high voltage detector test should always be used
as an indication only.
Read all safety information carefully before attempting
to operate or service the High Voltage Detector.
-2-
Use the High Voltage Detector only as specied in
this manual. Otherwise, the protection provided by
the High Voltage Detector may be impaired.
Please keep in your mind to wear high insulated
gloves when you test high voltages between
600V~1.5kV.
Please keep in your mind to wear high insulated
gloves and to use the HVD132 when you test high
voltages between 1.5kV~132kV.
3. Applications
● Non-contact detection of live voltages
● Find faults in cables
● Check and detect live high voltage cables
● Trace live wires
● Check high frequency radiation
● Check grounding equipment
● Detect residual or induced voltages

6. Operation
●
ON/OFF button
When POWERED ON, the 2 red LEDs will Flash
and the buzzer will generate a sound intermittently.
The red LED of the HIGH range will be turned on.
The original mode is the HIGH range.
●
TEST button
Press the TEST button to do the self-test rst, this
is to make sure the circuits inside the HVD132
is ok. When you press the TEST button, the 2
red LEDs will glow and the buzzer will generate
a sound continuously. The red LED of the HIGH
range will be still on (the original mode). If the 2
red LEDs do not glow and the continuous sound
doesn't be generated, please replace with a new
battery.
●
LOW range button (Low voltage detection)
Press the ON/OFF button to turn on the high
voltage detector.
Press the LOW range button, the 2 red LEDs
will ash and the buzzer will generate a sound
intermittently. The red LED of the LOW range will
be turned on.
The LOW range for low voltage detection :
50V~1.5kV. Place the probe sensing tip of the
high voltage detector near a low voltage line
(50V~1.5kV), but not touching the line.
The red LEDs will ash very fast and the frequency
of the sound will be at the same rate if a voltage is
present.
-6-
When the probe sensing tip makes contact or is
very close to the voltage line, the red LEDs will
glow and the sound will last continuously.

HIGH range (High voltage detection)
Press the ON/OFF button to turn on the high
voltage detector.
The 2 red LEDs will ash and the buzzer will
generate a sound intermittently. The red LED of the
HIGH range will be turned on.
The original mode is the HIGH range for high
voltage detection: 1.5kV~132kV.
Place the probe sensing tip of the high voltage
detector near a high voltage source (1.5kV~132kV),
but not touching the high voltage source.
The red LEDs will ash very fast and the frequency
of the sound will be at the same rate if a high
voltage is present.
When the probe sensing tip is getting closer to the
High voltage source, the red LEDs will glow and the
sound will last continuously.
