Operation
The Voltage Detector is useful for the identifying hot and neutral conductors, finding a break in
a wire, and detecting the presence of AC voltage at:
• Outlets
• Switches
3
• Circuit breakers
• Fuses
• Wires and cables
Note: The voltage detector can be used to find a break in a wire:
• To find a break in a hot conductor, trace the wire until the signal stops.
• To find a break in a neutral conductor, connect a load between the hot and neutral.
Trace the wire until the signal stops.
1. Test the unit on known functioning circuit or component.
• If the unit does not function as expected on a known functioning circuit, replace the batteries.
• If the unit still does not function as expected, send the unit to repair.
2. Place the probe tip on or near the circuit or unit to be tested.
LED and audible beeper indicate the presence of AC Voltage from 200~1000 VAC (50/60Hz).
Note: The voltage detector cannot detect voltage on armored cable or on cable in conduit,
behind panels, or in metallic enclosures.
