J
ARNING:
Risk
of electrocution.
High-voltage
circuits,
both
AC
J
and DC, are
very
dangerous
and
should
be measured
with
great
care.
NOTE: On some low AC and DC voltage ranges, with the test leads not
connected
to a device, the display may show a random, changing
reading, This is normal and is caused by the high-input sensitivity.
The reading will stabilize and give a proper measurement
when
connected
to a circuit.
NOTE: The supplied black test leads (standard test lead and alligator clip
probe) have protective plugs that must be removed before being
inserted in the bottom of the meter, The protective apparatus
must be removed from the end of the lead that plugs into the
meter.
NON-CONTACT
AC VOLTAGE
DETECTOR
WARNING:
Test the AC voltage detector
on a known live circuit before
each use.
WARNING:
Before using the meter in the AC Voltage Detector mode,
verify that the batteries are fresh by confirming
characters
appear on the
LCD when the function dial is turned to the voltage (V) position. Do not
attempt to use the meter as an AC Voltage Detector if the batteries are
weak or bad.
With the function switch set to the NCV
position, this instrument
can detect the
presence
of AC voltage (from 50 to
600VAC) simply by being held very near to
a voltage source. The NCV function works
when the meter's function dial is placed in
the NCV position only.
1.
Ensure that the retractable
test lead is
fully retracted.
2.
Disconnect
the common (negative)
test lead from the bottom of the meter.
3.
Put the function switch to NCV position.
4.
Test the detector on a known live circuit.
5.
Hold the top of the meter very close to the voltage source as shown.
6.
Adjust the sensitivity
dial to the highest sensitivity
position (fully
counter-clockwise)
and then lower the sensitivity as required.
7.
If voltage is present, the light at the top of the meter will flash and the
alarm will sound.
