Do not use if the battery compartment end cap is not fitted. Always keep your fingers behind the finger guard. Do not use the voltage tester during rain or precipitation. The voltage tester will not detect DC voltage. Cautions Avoid severe mechanical shock or vibration and extreme temperature.
Inspect the unit and any accessories for damage. If there is any damage then consult your distributor immediately. 2.2 Description The Martindale NC4 is a non-contact voltage tester with the following features: Contactless voltage testing between 12V AC and 1000V AC...
3.2 ON/OFF and Voltage Sensitivity Range Button Pressing the ON/OFF button (5) for 1 second will turn on the NC4. The red LED in the LED illumination area (3) will flash at a rate of once a second to indicate the unit is activated.
The unit will auto power off after 5 minutes. 3.3 Low Battery Indication If the red LED blinks off intermittently without the buzzer sounding, the batteries require replacing as reliable indication can no longer be guaranteed. Refer to Section 4.1 (Battery Replacement).
Warning If the voltage source exceeds the specified limits of the voltage tester the voltage tester may be damaged and the operator may be exposed to a shock hazard. Always check the voltage magnitude of the voltage source before proceeding with a proving check. 3.6 Testing Considerations From some directions the neutral and earth conductors in cables will shield the live, so...
