2 Safety information
Note
Before operating the device, you must read, understand, and follow all instructions, dangers, warnings, cautions, and notes.
Note
FLIR Systems reserves the right to discontinue models, parts or accessories,
and other items, or to change specifications at any time without prior notice.
Note
Do not try to repair this unit. There are no user serviceable parts.
Note
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.
WARNING
Do not operate the device if you do not have the correct knowledge. Formal
qualifications and/or national legislation for the electrical inspections can apply. Incorrect operation of the device can cause damage, shock, injury or
death to persons.
WARNING
Before you use the unit, always do a test of the Voltage Detector on a known
live circuit to make sure that it operates correctly. There is a risk of electrocution if you do not do this. Injury to persons can occur.
