Fluke VoltAlert 1AC I Instruction Sheet

FOR USE BY COMPETENT
PERSONS
Anyone using this instrument should be
knowledgeable and trained about the risks
involved with measuring voltage, especially
in an industrial setting, and the importance of
taking safety precautions and of testing the
instrument before and after using it to ensure
that it is in good working condition.
Read First: Safety Information
To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury:
● If the Tester is used in a manner not speciied by the manufacturer,
protection provided by the Tester may be affected.
●
Test on a known live source within the rated ac voltage range of the
product, both before and after use to ensure unit is in good working
condition.
● When using the Tester, if tip does not glow, voltage could still be
present. The Tester indicates active voltage in the presence of
electrostatic ields of suficient strength generated from the source
(MAINS) voltage. If the ield strength is low, the Tester may not provide
indication of live voltages. Lack of an indication occurs if the Tester is
unable to sense the presence of voltage which may be inluenced by
several factors including, but not limited to:
●
Shielded wire/cables
●
Thickness and type of insulation
●
Distance from the voltage source
●
Fully-isolated users that prevent an effective ground
●
Receptacles in recessed sockets/ differences in socket design
●
Condition of the Tester and Batteries
●
Do not use if the Tester appears damaged or if the Tester is not
operating properly. Speciically examine the probe tip for cracks or
breakage before use. If in doubt, have the Tester serviced.
●
Do not apply more that the rated voltage as marked on the Tester.
● Use caution with voltages above 30 V ac as a shock hazard may exist.
●
Comply with local and national safety requirements.
●
Use proper protective equipment as required by local or national
authorities.
