Instruction Manual

m Safety Information

• Never use the tester if it or its test leads appear damaged

• Never apply more than 600V DC or 600V AC RMS between any terminal
and earth ground.

( If the LED turns on it indicates the presence of voltage at the probe tip.

• When using the probes, do not touch the metal probe tips.

• Disconnect the live test lead before disconnecting the common test lead.

• Before each use, verify the tester’s operation by measuring a known voltage.

Voltage and Continuity Tester

Model VPC-10

Testing for Continuity

Turn off circuit power before testing
Beeper indicates shorts lasting 1ms or longer

OPEN SHORT or 0-85 KΩ

220V AC

Automatic Operation

The tester automatically turns on when you place the probes across a complete circuit.
The tester selects continuity or dc or ac voltage mode based on the resistance or volt­age between the probes. The tester automatically turns off when you remove the
probes from the complete circuit.

Measuring Voltage

Connect test leads across the source or load under measurement, the LEDs turn on at
between 70% and 100% of their rated voltages.
