Page 8: How To Test
HOW TO TEST 1.Rub the foam lid of the case with your hand to build up static electricity (the more you rub the higher the voltage charge will be) 2000 volts + can be generated. 2.Turn the indicator on and approach the lid, the Indicator will light up as you approach the lid of the case. - Page 9 Approach A known live conductor.

- Page 10 As the indicator moves into an electric field the indicators LEDS from 1 to 8 will illuminate and an audio alarm will sound. When all of the LEDS up to number 8 are indicated the audio alarm will be on constant. Insert the batteries correct polarity + to touchpad.
- Page 11 setting this is enough for the indicator to alarm. The indicator is best used by holding the device in a stationary position whilst testing for the presence of DC. When entering into a DC field, before you take a reading, stop and place both feet firmly on the ground, make sure the indicator is not detecting any DC presence, reach out away from the body with a straight arm.
- Page 12 This will not damage the indicator, however the static charge from the object can be transferred on to the cap of the indicator. If the indicator is alarming when you remove it from the field, the indicator is picking up charge in the cap from touching the conductor.
- Page 13 If you are in an enclosed environment and you turn on the Modiewark indicator and it activates. Touch the black dissipative cap and the plate, if it has made contact with an object it may be statically charged. Turn off the indicator and switch the sensitivity setting to a lower setting until the...
- Page 14 Static electricity is an imbalance of electric charges within or on the surface of a material. The charge remains until the indicator is moved away from the area or by means of an electric current or electrical discharge. A static electric charge can be created whenever two surfaces contact and separate, and at least one of the surfaces has a high resistance to electric current (and is therefore an electrical...
- Page 15 From trials conducted it can take up to several minutes for the static charge to dissipate. The time is dependent on the thickness of the insulating material and its composition. Earthing the cable instantly removes the static charge in the cable. Alternatively, you can Spray the target area with antistatic spray.

Page 18: Safety Information
Safety Information DC Rescue was designed as a DC Proximity device to eliminate the dangers of touch testing and earthing. It should be used by trained and qualified personnel only. When testing DC circuits always use caution and strictly adhere to proper safety practices. -
Page 19: Typical Uses
DC Rescue is a non-contact DC voltage detector that alerts users when they approach an electrified source. Its advanced notification system is designed to warn the user of the presence of voltage and current within a proximate area. DC internal sensors were designed to detect both electrical (V/m) and magnetic (T) fields. -
Page 20: Limited Warranty And Limitation Of Liability
DC only detects DC Voltage. Every energized DC conductor is surrounded by an electric field. As you move closer to the conductor, the electric field will become stronger. Lower voltages have a weaker field strength and will have a shorter warning distance. - Page 21 Effective November 1, 2017, this warranty applies to all products manufactured and sold by G.L McGavin PTY.LTD.
