  • Page 8: Safety Information

    Remove the batteries if the device is not used for an extended period of time. Note Static electricity and other stray sources of energy can randomly trigger the FLIR VP50/VP52 sensor. This is normal. Random triggering is more likely in high sensitivity mode but certainly can occur in the normal sensitivity mode as well.
  • Page 9 2 Safety information WARNING Make sure that you keep your hands and fingers on the body of the probe and away from the probe tip. There is a risk of electrocution if you do not do this. Injury can occur. WARNING Do not put the unit near high temperatures or in areas of high humidity.
  • Page 10 2 Safety information WARNING Make sure that children cannot touch the device. The device contains danger- ous objects and small parts that children can swallow. If a child swallows an object or a part, speak with a physician immediately. Injury to persons can occur.

  • Page 12: Introduction

    The portable, rugged FLIR VP50/VP52 can detect the presence of AC voltage at an electrical outlet, junction strip, circuit, or other device without actually touching the device under test (FLIR VP50: Minimum excitation voltage is 90 V AC; FLIR VP52: Minimum excitation voltage is 190 V AC). The FLIR VP50/VP52 includes a high-sensitivity mode that can be used to detect low-level AC voltage signals down to a minimum of 24 V AC.
