  • Page 6: How To Test

    How to Test 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. Turn the indicator on and approach the lid, the Indicator will light up as you approach the lid of the case.
  • Page 7 Approach A known live conductor. 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.
  • Page 8 Is the indicator picking up static electricity? A static charge is on most surfaces. If you are in an enclosed environment and you turn on the DC80 tester and it activates. Touch the black dissipative cap and the plate, if it has made contact with an object it may be statically charged.
  • Page 9 Static Electricity 10 volts to 10,000+volts The DC80 tester is designed to pick up an electric field emanating from an active DC source as low as 50v dc. Static electricity can be found on almost any surface. Static electricity is an imbalance of electric charges within or on the surface of a material.
  • Page 10 Once a DC power source is terminated in a plastic insulted cable, but not earthed (grounded), a static charge remains present on the insulation, this will slowly dissipate over time. The DC80 indicator will read this static residue left behind and over time the indicator sensitivity lights will stop indicating.

  • Page 13: Safety Information

    DC80 Voltage Detector Safety Information DC80 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 14 Overview DC80 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 15 Warnings Industrial DC80 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. Electric fields that have a stronger field strength, will have a greater warning distance.
