MARTINDALE VI13800 Instruction Manual page 6

Before and after each use, the voltage indicator must be proven
using a suitable proving device or a known good voltage source.
Do not use the voltage indicator if any expected voltage
indication LED's fail to illuminate correctly during proving.
Testing for a voltage that exceeds the specified limits of the voltage
indicator may damage the voltage indicator and expose the
operator to a shock hazard. Always check the voltage indicators
specified limits before use. The voltage indicator must only be used
in low voltage systems up to 600V and within the operating
temperature and humidity range specified.
Always keep your fingers behind the finger guards. Never touch the
exposed metal prod tips.
Do not use the voltage indicator in damp conditions.
The different indicating signals of the voltage detector (including the
ELV limit indication) are not to be used for measuring purposes.
The voltage indicator must not be dismantled or modified in any way
by unauthorized persons. The safety of the voltage indicator cannot
be guaranteed under such circumstances and must not be used.
Cautions
Avoid severe mechanical shock or vibration and extreme
temperature.
If the voltage indicator has been stored or transported in
temperatures outside its normal operating range it should be given
sufficient time to stabilise in the environment where it is to be
used. An acclimatisation time of at least 2 hours is required prior to
operation of the voltage indicator.

4. MAINTENANCE
4.1 Cleaning
Wipe the voltage detector with a cloth soaked with alcohol or mild
non conductive detergent. Do not use abrasives, abrasive
solvents, or detergents which can cause damage to the voltage
detector. Allow the voltage detector to thoroughly dry before use.
4.2 Repair & Service
There are no user serviceable parts in this unit. The fuse that was
in earlier versions has now been replaced by a non user
serviceable resistor. Return to Martindale Electric if faulty. Our
service department will quote promptly to repair any fault that
occurs outside the guarantee period.
4.3 Storage Conditions
The instrument should be kept in warm dry conditions away from
direct sources of heat or sunlight, and in such a manner as to
preserve the working life of the unit. It is strongly advised that the
unit is not kept in a tool box where other tools may damage it.
