INTRODUCTION
The PT-DVI Proof Tester Voltage Indicator Tester is for use on the DVI with any
available probes. This tester generates high voltage AC for testing the DVI. To use,
turn on the DVI, hold the Tester in one hand and the DVI in the other. Apply the
DVI probe to the metal end plate on the Tester. Press and hold the TEST button
on the Tester. A properly operating DVI-500 will indicate a voltage of 0.2-0.5kV
depending on how the DVI and Tester are held and a DVI-100 will indicate
1.5-4.5kV. For best results, hold both units with a tight grip and wrap your
fingers around each unit. If the DVI does not indicate voltage, do not use it
and return it to HD Electric Company for service.
