AC Hazardous Voltage Tests
Do not make contact exposed bare wire with the metal tip of the
probe.
The Product detects hazardous ac voltage conditions at 60 Hz. At frequencies
<60 Hz, the Product requires higher voltages to detect a hazardous condition. At
frequencies >60 Hz, the Product requires less voltage to detect a hazardous
condition. Grounding is required when you do a test aloft near power transmission
lines. See Aerial Tests.
To test for the presence of hazardous ac voltage:
1. Do a self check test. See Self Check Test.
Do not connect the ground lead to the Product.
2. Push and hold the trigger and approach an object to test. The tip must be the
closest point to the object under test. If the red LED flashes, immediately
move away from the object because high voltage is present.
3. Hold the probe tip against the object. If needed, turn the Product from side to
side to make a reliable contact. Paint, other surface finishes, or corrosion
may interfere with the connection.
