transformers, and other exterior equipment owned
by the power utility.

Use the unit only as specified in this operating
manual, otherwise the protection provided by the
unit may be impaired.

Overview

UT12A is intended to check for the presence of AC
voltage, signaling the user with a beep and a
flashing LED.

Do not use the unit if it is wet, damaged or
cannot operate correctly.
Do not apply more than the rated voltage
between the probe tip and earth ground.
When the unit working at voltage over 30V in
AC, special care should be taken for there is
danger of electric shock.
Follow the local countries safety requirements
and standards.

Warning

This unit is only designed for the specialist
who has certain technical knowledge to use.
This unit is intended to check for the presence
of AC voltage, the voltage range is 90~1000V .
Make sure the tested inductor possible
voltage range before carrying out checking.
When you cannot sure the tested inductor
voltage range, the unit does not have any
response. It does not mean the tested
inductor does not have dangerous voltage,
do not use any part of the body to touch the
tested inductor.

When carrying out checking, keep your
fingers behind the probe tip finger guards.
