Description
The Greenlee 1112 Voltage Detector is intended to check for the
presence of AC voltage, signaling the user with an intermittent tone
and flashing LEDs. In addition, the lamp function allows the LED near
the probe to act as a flashlight.
Identification
1 Test probe
2 LED for voltage indication and lamp
3 Battery case cover and LED for voltage indication
4 Clip and switch
• Position 1: Off.
• Position 2 ( ): Set to detect voltage. If voltage is present, both
LEDs 2 and 3 flash and a tone sounds.
• Position 3 ( ): Set to detect voltage with LED 2 illuminated
continuously. If voltage is present, LED 3 flashes and a tone
sounds.
Purpose
This instruction manual is intended to familiarize all personnel with
the safe operation and maintenance procedures for the Greenlee 1112
Voltage Detector.
Keep this manual available to all personnel. Replacement manuals are
available upon request at no charge.

Important Safety Information
Read and understand this material before
operating or servicing this equipment. Failure to
understand how to safely operate this tool can
result in an accident causing serious injury or
death.
Electric shock hazard:
Contact with live circuits can result in severe
injury or death.
Electric shock hazard:
• Do not use the unit if it is wet or damaged.
• Do not apply more than the rated voltage between the probe tip
and earth ground.
• Do not operate with the case open.
Failure to observe these warnings can result in severe injury or
death.
• Do not attempt to repair this unit. It contains no user-
serviceable parts.
• Do not expose the unit to extremes in temperature or high
humidity. See Specifications.
Failure to observe these precautions can result in injury and can
damage the instrument.
Using this unit near equipment that generates electromagnetic
interference can result in unstable or inaccurate readings.
Operation
The Greenlee 1112 is useful for identifying hot and neutral conductors,
finding a break in a wire, and detecting the the presence of AC voltage at
outlets, switches, circuit breakers, fuses, and wires and cables,
including Romex ® .
Note: The 1112 can be used to find a break in a wire:
• To find a break in a hot conductor, trace the wire until the signal
stops.
• To find a break in a neutral conductor, connect a load between the hot
and neutral. Trace the wire until the signal stops.
1. Turn the unit on by pushing the pocket clip toward the probe to
Position 2 or 3.
2. Test the unit on a known functioning circuit or component.
• If the unit does not function as expected on a known functioning
circuit, replace the batteries.
• If the unit still does not function as expected, send the unit to
Greenlee for repair.
3. Place the probe tip on or near the circuit or unit to be tested.
Tone and flashing LED indicate the presence of voltage
(50 to 1000 VAC).
Note: The voltage detector cannot detect voltage on armored cable or
on cable in conduit, behind panels, or in metallic enclosures.

Descripción
El Detector de tensión, modelo 1112 de Greenlee, está diseñado para
verificar la presencia de tensión alterna, mediante la emisión de un tono
intermitente y el parpadeo de diodos emisores de luz (LED). Además, la
función de la bombilla le permite al diodo emisor de luz (LED) más cerca
de la sonda servir de linterna.
Identificación
1 Sonda de prueba
2 Diodo emisor de luz (LED) para bombilla e indicación de tensión
3 Tapa del compartimiento de la pila y diodo emisor de luz (LED) para
indicar tensión
4 Sujetador e interruptor
• Posición 1: Off (Apagado).
• Posición 2 ( ): Ajustado para detectar tensión. Si se encuentra
tensión, los diodos emisores de luz (LED) 2 y 3 parpadearán y
se emitirá un tono.
• Posición 3 ( ): Ajustado para detectar tensión con el diodo
emisor de luz (LED) 2 iluminado de manera continua. Si se
encuentra tensión, el diodo emisor de luz (LED) 3 parpadeará y
se emitirá un tono.
Propósito de este manual
Este manual de instrucciones tiene como propósito familiarizar a todo el
personal con los procedimientos de operación y mantenimiento seguros
para el Detector de tensión, modelo 1112 de Greenlee.
