DESCRIPTION The Megger VF3 voltage detector is intended to check for the presence of AC voltage, signaled by a bright red LED situated within the white nylon tip and an audible buzzer. The VF3 has the added advantage of a bright-white LED flashlight for use in poor light.
If the unit still fails to operate satisfactorily, return for repair. If the unit does not function as expected , replace the batteries. NOTE: The VF3 cannot detect voltage on armoured or sheathed cable, or on cable in conduit, behind panels or in metallic enclosures.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT Remove the unit from proximity of any live circuits Turn off flashlight Remove battery cap (1) by lifting clip (2) slightly and pulling cap (1) off body (3) Replace batteries, carefully observing correct type and polarity ...
