BEFORE USE
READ ALL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE.
FOR INTENDED USE ONLY. Protection provided by this product may be
impaired if used with accessories not provided by the manufacture or if
used as in a manner other than specified within.
!
WARNING: To be used by trained person only. High voltage AC and
DC circuits are dangerous. Use extreme caution and use as intended
when testing potentially live circuits. Risk of Electrocution.
!
WARNING: To assure that the unit is operating properly, ALWAYS test
on a known live circuit before use. Keep hands and fingers on the tester
and away from the sensor (red end). Risk of Electrocution.
!
WARNING: This product should be used to test or detect insulated
wires and terminals but should not be used to contact Live Circuits. This
tester will not detect voltage in wires that are electrically shielded by metal
conduit or grounded enclosures. Risk of Electrocution.
OPERATION
Before use, test the batteries of the CAM-10 tester by pressing the button
on the tester marked PRESS. A momentary audible tone and flash of the
light are an indication that the unit is working.
!
WARNING: Always test on known live
circuit before use.
To test for voltage:
1. Hold the tester with your thumb on the
CAM-10 tester button marked PRESS.
2. For maximum sensitivity place your
finger directly opposite the tester
button as shown.
3. To reduce the sensitivity of the tester
move your index finger towards sensor end (red part).
4. Always keep a safe distance between you
and potentially live voltage sources.
5. Press down and hold the test button on the tester.
A momentary alert indicates the unit is working.
6. Place the sensor (red end) near the wire or device to be tested.
Maintain a minimum distance of 0.5mm from contacting the wire or
device to be tested. If voltage greater than 50 VAC is present, the
tester light and tone will activate rhythmically at
10 to 15 cycles second.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
Removing the battery cover from the CAM 10 should be an easy task,
however due to changes in the environment you might experience some
tightness in the battery cover gasket, making it hard for the battery cover
to come loose. Please follow this simple procedure to remove the battery
cover:
1. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to loosen the screw. Leave the screw
engaged. (Figure 1)
2. Push on the screw with the screw driver. (Figure 2)
3. The battery cover pops open. (Figure 3)
4. Insert the two LR44 batteries (included) in the orientation indicated on
the side of the battery cover. Replace cover and screw.

ANTES DEL USO
LEA TODAS LAS INSTRUCCIONES OPERATIVAS ANTES DEL
USO. SÓLO PARA EL USO PREVISTO. La protección provista por
este producto puede verse afectada si se usa con accesorios no
suministrados por el fabricante o si se usa de una manera diferente de la
especificada adentro.
!
ADVERTENCIA: Sólo para el uso de personal capacitado. Son
peligrosos los circuitos de CA y CC de alto voltaje. Tenga sumo cuidado
y utilice de la manera prevista al probar circuitos potencialmente
energizados. Riesgo de electrocución.
!
ADVERTENCIA: Para asegurar que la unidad esté funcionando
correctamente. SIEMPRE pruebe en un circuito energizado conocido
antes de usar. Mantenga las manos y los dedos en el probador y
alejados del sensor (extremo rojo). Riesgo de electrocución.
!
ADVERTENCIA: Este producto debe usarse para probar o detectar
cables aislados y terminales pero no para hacer contacto
energizados. Este probador no detecta el voltaje en cables que tienen
blindaje eléctrico mediante portacables de metal o cierres puestos a
tierra. Riesgo de electrocución.
OPERACIÓN
Antes de usar, pruebe las baterías del probador CAM-10 oprimiendo
el botón en el probador que está marcado PRESS. Un tono audible
momentáneo y un destello de luz son indicaciones de que la unidad
está funcionando.
!
ADVERTENCIA: Siempre pruebe en un circuito energizado conocido
antes de usar.
Para probar el voltaje:
1. Sostenga el detector con el pulgar
ubicado sobre el botón identificado
como PRESS (presionar) del detector
CAM-10.
2. Para un nivel máximo de sensibilidad,
coloque el dedo directamente opuesto
