ACT Verier

Audible Circuit Tester

Verier enables an alarm installer to quickly walk-test a circuit

installation and audibly trace hidden cables, test resistance and locate

intermittant faults in a fraction of the normal time. An ideal tool to

use during commissioning, maintenance and take-over inspections and

troubleshooting rst x installations.

ACT Verier ACT Verier

WARNING: VERIFIER IS DESIGNED TO TEST RESISTIVE CIRCUITS ONLY. THE CIRCUIT MUST BE

DISCONNECTED FROM THE CONTROL EQUIPMENT BEFORE TESTING. DAMAGE OR INJURY MAY

RESULT IF CONNECTED TO ANY VOLTAGE SOURCE. IF IT IS USED IN A MANNER NOT SPECIFIED

BY THE MANUFACTURER, THE PROTECTION PROVIDED BY THE EQUIPMENT MAY BE IMPAIRED.

Description

Verier is an ingenious audible cable nder, resistance tester and fault locator in one easy

to operate unit. The inductive amplier probe supplied with Verier enables the operator to

audibly follow hidden cables under carpets, behind plaster and under oorboards throughout

the installation. But that’s not all. It also allows the user to audibly test any resistance devices

connected to the circuit such as; magnetic contacts, PIR’s, shock sensors, tamper switches etc.

Three variable resistance tones (Low 0Ω to high 250Ω, low <250Ω to high 25KΩ, low <25KΩ to

high 250KΩ) change in pitch according to the resistance of the circuit under test. This makes

Verier ideal for audibly testing normally closed and end-of-line resistance circuits. The higher

the resistance, the higher the tone. When testing any resistance changes will be instantly heard.

A high pitch ‘open-circuit tone’ enables resistance breaks on the cable or device to be pinpointed

easily. This ingenious use of sound makes it simple to identify the dierence between good, bad

and intermittent faults.

Test Procedure

WARNING: THE RESISTANCE CIRCUIT MUST BE DISCONNECTED FROM THE CONTROL EQUIPMENT

BEFORE TESTING.

1. Securely connect the black lead clips to the resistance circuit under test

2. Connect the green lead clip to earth to maximise the distance the tone can be heard from

the circuit cable

3. Switch Verier ON which is conrmed by a green LED

4. Switch the inductive amplier probe ON and set to the desired volume

5. Using the probe, follow the circuit cable under test throughout the installation

6. Holding the probe closer to the circuit cable or device under test, will produce a louder tone

7. Touching or tapping along the circuit cable will audibly identify resistance shorts or breaks

8. Tap testing joint boxes will audibly reveal intermittent resistance connection faults

9. Operating magnetic contacts by slowly moving the magnet away from the contact will

audibly identify resistance variation faults

10. Repeatedly activating PIR’s, shock sensor and tamper switches will audibly verify normal

operation or identify resistance variation faults

Replacement Battery

Verier makes it quick and easy to locate all manner of faults including; varying resistances,

loose connections, damaged cables, circuit breaks and defective devices during commissioning

and maintenance inspections. It also makes identifying devices connected to unmarked circuits

quick and easy when performing take-over inspections and troubleshooting rst-x installations.

In conclusion, Verier is an essential and aordable tool for anyone who needs to test and

identify resistance faults rst time.
