Non-contact voltage tester with laser distance meter

ENGLISH
The Klein Tools NCVT-6 is a full-range non-contact voltage tester
with an integrated laser distance meter. It can detect voltage from
12V to 1000V AC and can measure distance from 2 in. to 65.6 ft.
(51 mm to 20 m). Under normal operating conditions, at distances
from 51 mm (2 in) – 10 m (32.8 ft) the NCVT-6 has an accuracy
of +/- 1.6 mm (1/16 in). At distances >10m (32.8 ft) – 20m (65.6
ft ) the NCVT-6 has an accuracy of +/- 3.2 mm (1/8 in). The laser
distance meter functions independently from the NCVT.

• Operating and Storage Altitude: Up to 6562 ft. (2000 m)
• Operating and Storage Temp: 32° to 122°F (0° to 50°C)
• Relative Humidity: <85% non-condensing
• Dimensions: 6.45" x 1.32" x 1.21" (164 x 34 x 31 mm)

• Standards: Conforms to UL STD. 61010-1, 61010-2-030
• Complies with: 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 except for deviations
pursuant to laser notice No. 50, dated June 24, 2007.
Specifications subject to change.
NON-CONTACT VOLTAGE TESTING (NCV) ON/OFF BUTTON
To turn on the NCVT-6 and activate the Non-Contact Voltage Testing
(NCV) function, press and release the NCV Power Button
tester will emit a single audible beep and the NCV Indicator
illuminate with a solid blue light. A proximity sensor indicating
voltage strength using a dash scale will be shown on the LCD
Display
. Press and hold the NCV Power Button
4
seconds to power off the NCVT-6.
NOTE: When the Laser Distance Meter (LDM) function is active, a
short press of the NCV Power Button
function and enter the NCV function.
LASER DISTANCE METER (LDM) ON/OFF BUTTON
To activate the LDM function, press the LDM Control Button
• A short press of the LDM Control Button
to emit an audible beep and take a distance measurement. The value
of the distance measurement will be shown on the Display
and hold the LDM Control Button

• A long press and hold of the LDM Control Button
continuous measurement mode for the LDM function. As each
new distance measurement is taken, the NCVT-6 will emit
an audible beep and will update the display
measurement value.
WARNING: LASER RADIATION. DO NOT do any of the
following, as severe and permanent eye damage could result:
• DO NOT direct laser beam into eyes.
• DO NOT stare into the beam.
• DO NOT view directly with optical instruments.

To ensure safe operation and service of the tester, follow these
instructions. Failure to observe these warnings can result in severe
injury or death.
• LASER RADIATION, Class II laser. DO NOT direct laser beam into eyes, DO NOT stare
into the beam, or DO NOT view directly with optical instruments as this can cause
severe and permanent eye damage.
• Risk of electric shock and burn. Contact with live circuits could result in death or
serious injury.
• Use caution with voltages above 25V AC as a shock hazard may exist.
• A blinking red or a steadily illuminated red NCV Indicator
indicates the presence of voltage. A steadily illuminated blue NCV Indicator
indicates that no voltage is detected, however voltage could still be present.
• Before and after each use, verify operation by testing a known working circuit that is
within the rating of this unit.
• Never assume neutral or ground wires are de-energized. Neutrals in multi-wire branch
circuits may be energized when disconnected and must be retested before handling.
• The tester WILL NOT detect voltage if:
• The wire is shielded.
• The operator is not grounded or is otherwise isolated from an effective earth ground.
• The voltage is DC.
• The tester MAY NOT detect voltage if:

• The user is not holding the tester.
• The user is insulated from the tester with a glove or other materials.
