The VP40 has a minimum excitation voltage of 90V AC; The VP42 has a minimum excitation voltage of 190V AC. Both models have a high sensitivity mode allowing detection down to 24V AC.
The excitation voltage required to activate the meter alarm is much lower in High-sensitivity mode. • In Normal mode, the minimum excitation voltage is 90V AC (VP40)/190V AC (VP42). • In High-sensitivity mode, the minimum excitation voltage is 24V AC.
If the status indicator is flashing amber, replace the batteries. If the status indicator is flashing red, the meter is experiencing a malfunction - contact FLIR for service. 2. Once powered, short press the power button to toggle between High-sensitivity mode and Normal mode.
