ETFB10
Non-Contact Optical Fiber & AC Voltage Detector
1. WARNINGS
• Read understand and follow safety rules and operating instructions in the manual before using this
tester.
• The tester's safety features may not protect the user if not used in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
• Check on a known live source within the rated AC voltage range of the tester before use to ensure it is
in working order.
• Insulation type and thickness, distance from the voltage source, shielded wires, and other factors may
effect reliable operation. Use other methods to verify live voltage, if there is any uncertainty.
• Do not use if the tester appears damaged or if it is not operating properly. If in doubt, replace the tester.
• Do not use on voltages that are higher than as marked on the tester.
• Use caution with voltages above 30 volts AC as a shock hazard may exist.
• Comply with all applicable safety codes. Use approved personal protective equipment when working
near live electrical circuits-particularly with regard to arc-flash potential.
• When measuring the optical fiber signal, try to keep the tester and the optical interface in the same
line, and try to be close to the optical fiber interface.
• Avoid using the meter around strong electromagnetic fields.
• Do not expose tester to extremes in temperature or high humidity.

5.Operation
5-1.Turning the Tester On
Briefly press the ON/OFF button of the tester to start the machine, and the green LED of the tester
will light up quickly twice every 2 seconds, indicating that the tester is working in fiber mode and ready.
Press and hold the ON/OFF button of the tester for a long time to start the machine. The tester is in
silent mode. The green LED will light up quickly twice every 2 seconds, indicating that the tester is
working in fiber mode and ready.
Note: If the ON/OFF button is pressed for a long time, after the power LED is lit, the power button is
still in the "long press" state, and it is judged as wrong operation after about 5 seconds. After two
beeps, the tester will automatically turn off.
5-2. Turn off the tester
After the tester is turned on, press the ON/OFF button again, the tester will beep twice and turn off
the test function.
5-3.Mode Select Function
When the tester is working, press the "M" key briefly each time to switch the working mode of the
tester. The flashing green LED indicates that it is running in the fiber test mode, and the flashing red
LED indicates that it is running in the NCV mode.
5-4.Verify Operation
Before using the tester, (1) make sure that the battery is sufficient and the tester can be turned on
normally. (2) use it within the test voltage range specified by the tester.
5-5. NCV Test
• Place the tip of the tester close to the AC voltage.
• If the AC voltage detected by the tester is greater than 50V, the red LED will switch to the normally lit
state, and the buzzer will make a quick sound.
If the AC voltage detected by the tester is less than 50V, the red LED will switch to the flashing state,
and the buzzer will not make a sound.
Note: When the instrument is in non-silent mode, the buzzer will sound.
