FUNCTION BUTTONS

NCV POWER ON/OFF BUTTON

To activate the Non-Contact Voltage Testing feature,
press and release the NCV Power-ON button.
After performing a self-test the tester will emit a
single beep, one of the Power ON LED’s 2 will
illuminate indicating which NCVT mode is active
(see OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS), and a green light
will illuminate in the tip 3. Topower-OFF the tester,
press and hold the NCV button.

NOTE: The tester will automatically power-OFF following
4 minutes of inactivity to conserve battery life.

WARNINGS

To ensure safe operation and service of the tester, follow these
instructions. Failure to observe these warnings can result in severe
injury or death.

• Risk of electric shock and burn. Contact with live circuits could result in death or
serious injury.

• Use caution with voltages above 25V AC as a shock hazard may exist.

• A blinking LED or a steadily illuminated LED in the tip and audible beeps indicate
presence of voltage. If no indication, voltage could still be present.

• Before and after each use, verify operation by testing a known working circuit that is
within the rating of this unit.

• Never assume neutral or ground wires are de-energized. Neutrals in multi-wire branch
circuits may be energized when disconnected and must be retested before handling.

• The tester WILL NOT detect voltage if:

• The wire is shielded.

• The operator is not grounded or is otherwise isolated from an effective earth ground.

• The voltage is DC.

• The tester MAY NOT detect voltage if:

• The user is not holding the tester.

• The user is insulated from the tester with a glove or other materials.

• The wire is partially buried or in a grounded metal conduit.

• The tester is at a distance from the voltage source.

• The field created by the voltage source is being blocked, dampened, or otherwise
interfered with.

• The frequency of the voltage is not a perfect sine wave between 50 and 500Hz.

• The tester is outside of operating conditions (listed in Specifications section).

• Operation may be affected by differences in socket design and insulation thickness
and type.

• In bright light conditions, the LED visual indicators will be less visible.

• When powered-ON, one of the “power-ON” LED’s will be illuminated, and a green light
will illuminate the tip.

IS ILLUMINATED .

• Do not use if tester appears damaged or is not operating properly. If in doubt, replace
the tester.

• Do not apply more than the rated voltage as marked on the tester (1000V).

• Do not apply to uninsulated hazardous live conductors.

• Detection above 70V AC in Mode 1, or above 12V AC in Mode 2 is specified under
"normal" conditions as detailed below. The tester may detect at a different threshold at
different conditions, or may not detect at all unless:

• The tip of the tester is within 0.25" (6 mm) of an AC voltage source radiating unimpeded.

• The user is holding the body of the tester with his or her bare hand.

• The user is standing on or connected to earth ground.

• The air humidity is nominal (50% relative humidity – non-condensing).

• The tester is held still.

• Always wear approved eye protection.

• Comply with local and national safety requirements.

• If this product is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, protection
provided by the product may be affected.

• DO NOT attempt to repair this tester. It contains no serviceable parts.

• DO NOT expose tester to extremes in temperature or high humidity.

DO NOT USE TESTER UNLESS ONE OF THE “POWER-ON” LEDs

CAUTION

CLEANING

Be sure tester is turned off and wipe with a clean, dry lint-free cloth.

Remove the batteries when not in use for a prolonged period of time. Do not expose to high temperatures or humidity. After a period of storage in extreme conditions exceeding the limits mentioned in the
General Specifications section, allow the tester to return to normal operating conditions before using.

Do not place equipment and its accessories in the trash. Items must be properly disposed of in accordance with local regulations. Please see www.epa.gov or www.erecycle.org for additional information.

SELECTING VOLTAGE TESTING MODE

NCVT-2P can detect voltage in two distinct modes, defined by the voltage
ranges to which the tester is sensitive. Mode 1 detects 70 to 1000V AC, Mode
2 detects 12 to 1000V AC.
the NCV Power-ON button 1 will switch the tester between modes 1 and 2.
The Power-ON indicator LED’s
tester will power-ON in the mode that was most recently used.

CHECKING FOR THE PRESENCE OF AC VOLTAGE

1. Press NCV Power On/Off button. After performing a self-test, a green light
will illuminate the tip when no voltage is detected.

2. Prior to use, test on a known live circuit to verify tester functionality.

3. Place tip of the tester
will emit audible beeps and the LEDs in the tip

NOTE: In Mode 2, the tester is more sensitive to high voltage sources and

electrically noisy environments. It is recommended to set the tester to operate
in Mode 1 when expected voltages are above 70V AC.

SILENT OPERATION

To activate silent operation, power-ON by pressing and holding the NCV
Power-ON button 1 for more than 2 seconds. Power-ON in this manner
each time silent operation is desired.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

When the battery is low, the unit powers on with a blinking red or blue LED
depending on mode most recently used, and the batteries must be replaced.

1. Unscrew the battery cap 7 and remove/recycle spent batteries.

2. Install two new AAA batteries. Note proper polarity.

3. Screw battery cap tightly to ensure a tight seal with the O-Ring 6.

Read, understand, and follow all warnings and
instructions before operating testers. Failure to
follow instructions could result in death or serious
injury. Before each use, verify tester operation
by testing on a known live and correctly wired
receptacle. Do not use if the tester appears damaged
in any way. The tester is intended for indoor use
only. Other equipment or devices attached to the
circuit being tested could interfere with the tester.
Clear the circuit before testing. Always consult a
qualified electrician to resolve wiring problems.

Conditions indicated: The wiring conditions that
may be identified are correct wiring, open ground,
hot-ground reversed polarity, open hot, open
neutral, hot-neutral reversed polarity.

Conditions NOT indicated: Quality of ground,
multiple hot wires, combinations of defects, and
reversal of grounded and grounding conductors.

1. Verify tester operation by testing on a known live
and correctly wired receptacle.

2. Insert the tester into the receptacle under test to
check for correct wiring (Fig. 1). Lights on the
tester should illuminate.

3. Compare lit bulbs on tester to the key code
printed on the tester.

4. If tester does not show the receptacle to be wired
correctly, consult a qualified electrician.
