Instructions
INTRODUCTION
This non-contact voltage tester is a safe way to ensure
that the electrical power is off and that no voltage is
present without the need to touch any wires or exposed
components. Designed for detecting 5 - 1 000V AC
voltages the detectors LED indicator will flash Red and the
built-in buzzer will sound short beep(s) when a voltage is
present. The detector also features an LED light for use in
low light conditions and a state of charge battery indicator.
FEATURES
1. Safe, reliable non-contact AC voltage detection
2. Audible and visual indication from 5V to 1 000V AC
3. Can be used to check whether a cable, wire or socket
contains AC voltage or to locate a breakpoint in
a live line.
4. Adjustable detection sensitivity
5. After adjusting the detectors sensitivity to a suitable
level, this detector can discriminate between Live and
Neutral terminals on an energized AC110V
power socket.
6. LED spotlight for use in low light conditions
7. Battery charge indicator
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
It is essential that you read and understand
the instructions contained in this manual before using
the voltage detector for the first time. Failure to follow
these instructions could result in an electrical shock
or possible damage to the meter or to the equipment
under test. This manual should be stored safely
for future reference.

To avoid electric shock, do not hold unit beyond this point.
5. Power Switch / Sensitivity Dial
Used to turn the unit on / off as well as adjusting the unit's
detection sensitivity. When you turn the unit on by turning
the dial forwards, the unit will sound a beep. The unit is at
the highest detection level. Continuing to turn this knob
forwards will decrease the detection sensitivity gradually.

TESTING UNIT PRIOR TO USE
Make sure that the unit has been turned off, then turn the
power switch/sensitivity knob forwards until a click is
heard. The built-in buzzer sounds two beeps, meanwhile
the detection indicator LED flashes red twice. Now the
unit's sensitivity is at the highest level.
Move the unit's probe close to a known AC power source
(such as an outlet). If the built-in buzzer beeps and the
detection indicator LED flashes red, the unit is good
and can be used.
NOTE: After you turn on the unit, the detection indicator
LED will flash red periodically as a high battery indication if
the batteries are high enough. If the detection indicator
LED does not flash periodically even if there is no ac
voltage being detected, the batteries are low and must be
replaced immediately.
DETECTING AC VOLTAGE
Turn the power switch/sensitivity knob forwards until
a click is heard to turn on the unit. Then adjust this knob
for a desired sensitivity according to the need of the actual
detection task.
Move the unit's probe close to the wire or socket to be
tested. When the unit detects AC voltage, the built-in
buzzer will beep and the detection indicator LED will flash
red. If the voltage to be detected is low, you should set
the unit's sensitivity to the highest level; and if you want
to locate a breakpoint on a live line, you should lower
the unit's sensitivity appropriately.
The unit can be used to trace a live wire to locate the
breakpoint on this wire. The position where the unit stops
giving alarm is probably where the breakpoint exists.
