Warning. Risk of electric shock.
Risk of danger. Important information: It is important that users of this tester read, understand, and follow all warnings, cautions, safety information, and instructions in this manual before operating or servicing this tester. Failure to follow instructions could result in death or serious injury.
Double Insulated.
Equipment is designed to protect against transients from the primary supply level. IV (i.e. - electricity meter or overhead/ underground utility service).
The NCVT-2 can operate as a dual range (NCVT-2 mode) or single range (NCVT-1 mode) tester. In NCVT-2 mode, the tester will light a steady blue LED in the tip to indicate power-on and dual range mode. In NCVT-1 mode, the tester will light a steady green LED in the tip to indicate power-on and single range mode.
Press and hold the power button for ½ second, then release. Listen for single-beep sound and watch for a steady green or blue LED to illuminate in the tip of the tester. The tester is now activated and is operational. Test on known live circuit to verify tester functionality. See Silent mode for additional power-on options.
Press and hold the power button for ½ second then release. Listen for a double-beep sound and watch the green or blue LED turn off. The tester is now deactivated and is not operational.
The "power on" blue or green LED visually confirms battery sufficiency, system integrity, and operation/active mode. Always test on known live circuit to verify tester functionality prior to use.
While the unit is powered on, press and hold the power button for 2 seconds. The power-on LED will switch from blue to green or green to blue. The tester will start in whichever mode it was last powered off in.
Prior to use, test on known live circuit to verify tester functionality. Place tip of the tester near an AC voltage and refer to the tables below for each mode:
POWER-ON | 12 TO 48 VOLTS AC | 48 TO 1000 VOLTS AC | |
Audible | Single Beep | Low-Pitched Pulsing Beeping Sound | High-Pitched Continuous Beeping Sound |
Visual | Steady Blue LED | Blue LED Turns OFF and Red LED Blinks (approx. 2-times per second). | Blue LED Turns OFF and Red LED illuminates continuously. |
POWER-ON | 12 TO 48 VOLTS AC | 48 TO 1000 VOLTS AC | |
Audible | Single Beep | No Sound | High-Pitched Continuous Beeping Sound |
Visual | Steady Green LED | Steady Green LED | Green LED Turns OFF and Red LED illuminates continuously. |
In NCVT-2 mode, the tester will be more sensitive and will show voltage indication at a further distance away from a high voltage source than in NCVT-1 mode. Use NCVT-1 mode in situations where you expect the voltage source will be greater than 48V AC.
Scenario 1 – Powering on the tester: The "power on" LED in the tip of the tester changes from a steady green or blue to a blinking green or blue and a series of beeping sounds is generated. The tester then turns off. The unit is now deactivated and is not operational, the batteries require replacement. To replace the tester batteries refer to the Maintenance section titled "Battery Replacement."
Scenario 2 – Operating the tester: If the LED lights dim and the tone fades, the tester may require new batteries. To replace the tester batteries refer to the Maintenance section titled "Battery Replacement."
After 4 minutes of non-use, the tester automatically powers off to conserve battery life. Listen for a double-beep sound and watch the "power on" LED turn off. The tester is now deactivated and is not operational.
The tester can be operated with only visual indication of voltage. With the tester powered off, press and hold the power button for 2 seconds then release.
