Maintain proper work clearances at all times. • Make certain the FireFly Detector is properly rated for use on the system voltages you will test. • Prior to using, make certain to inspect the instrument for any physical damage, cleanliness and check for proper working order using the test button.
The FireFly Detector should be tested both prior to and after line testing to make certain the unit is working properly. The FireFly Voltage Detector has a built-in self-test feature to make certain the unit is working properly.
Verify both the top and side white lights turn on. Replace the two Lights batteries if the lights do not come on (page 8). NOTE: Never use the self-test if the FireFly Detector is in contact with any voltage source.
In this situation the FireFly Detector may indicate live voltage when the conductor being contacted is at ground potential. NOTE: Only use the FireFly Detector within the voltage range specified on the product label. Do not use the FireFly Detector above or below the product label rating.
2) If the FireFly Detector will be used at night or in the dark, test the Lights before use. The lights will shut off automatically 10 minutes after the most recent voltage detection or self-test, or they can be turned off manually.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT Replace the four batteries as needed with IEC type CR17345 including Duracell® 123, Panasonic® CR123A and Energizer® 123. Note: Panasonic® type CR17335 or BR-2/3A are not acceptable replacements. Two of the four batteries power the voltage detector and the other two power the white lights. Always replace the two batteries for each function in pairs, but it is not necessary to replace all four batteries at the same time.
