Instruction Sheet
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Read and understand all of the instructions and safety information in these operating instructions before
using this tester.
! WARNINGS
To avoid possible electric shock, personal injury or death follow these guidelines:
• Do not use if green light is not illuminating on tester.
• Do not use if tester appears damaged or is not operating properly.
• Do not use tester for more than the rated voltage on the tester.
• Do not use without the tester fully assembled.
• This tester will not detect the presence of DC voltage.
• This tester will not detect voltages at a distance, such as through walls, metal conduit, or shielded wire.
• Voltage detection maybe affected by outlet design, insulation thickness/type.
• Do not assume that no voltage indication means the circuit is de-energized.
• Voltages below 50VAC will not be detected by the 61-025 but are still shock hazards that can result
in injury or death.
• Use the 3 Point Safety Method. (1) Verify tester operation by measuring a known voltage. (2) Apply tester to circuit under test. (3) Return to the known live voltage again to ensure
proper operation.
• Ensure all fingers are behind finger guard when testing for voltage.
• Replace batteries as soon as low battery is indicated.
• If this tester is used in a manner not specified by IDEAL, protection provided by the product may be impaired.
• Comply with local and national safety requirements, including the use of appropriate personal protective equipment.
Features:
The VoltAware™ NCV tester is useful for identifying hot conductors, finding breaks in wires and detecting the presence of AC voltage at outlets, switches, electrical panels, wires and cables.
• 61-025 model indicates presence of voltage from 50-1000VAC
• 61-026 model indicates presence of voltage from 12-90VAC
• Visual indication of voltage
• Selectable Audible indication of voltage
• Low Battery Indicator
• Sleek, compact design
Operation:
• Twist the tester body to the On position.
• Verify the green light is on.
• Verify tester operation on a known voltage source.
• Place the tip of the tester near an AC voltage source to obtain a voltage indication.
• Voltage presence is indicated by a red, flashing light.
Selectable On/Off for Audible Beeper:
• The tester defaults to the audible ON mode.
• To turn the audible Off, depress the dark gray button.
• To turn the audible back On, depress the button again.
Low Battery Indicator:
• When the battery voltage drops below 2V, the tester indicates the low battery condition by turning off the green light.
Battery Replacement:
• With the tester in the Off position, pull lightly on the two case halves. The tester should separate slightly.
• Then, with little force, twist the two halves away from each other slightly as in the figure. Then, pull the two case
halves apart. Replace with 2 AAA (LR03) batteries.
• Reverse process to re-assemble tester.
Maintenance:
Clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. If the tester acts erratically, or the green light is not on,
change the batteries.
