FOR USE BY COMPETENT PERSONS Anyone using this instrument should be knowledgeable and trained about the risks involved with measuring voltage, especially in an industrial setting, and the importance of 2AC taking safety precautions and of testing the instrument before and after using it to ensure VoltAlert that it is in good working condition. Instruction Sheet Read First: Safety Information WX Warning To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury: If the Tester is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, protection provided by the Tester may be affected. Test on a known live source within the rated ac voltage range of the product, both before and after use to ensure unit is in good working condition. When using the Tester, if tip does not glow, voltage could still be present. The Tester indicates active voltage in the presence of electrostatic fields of sufficient strength generated from the source (MAINS) voltage. If the field strength is low, the Tester may not provide indication of live voltages. Lack of an indication occurs if the Tester is unable to sense the presence of voltage which may be influenced by several factors including, but not limited to: Shielded wire/cables Thickness and type of insulation Distance from the voltage source Fully-isolated users that prevent an effective ground Receptacles in recessed sockets/ differences in socket design Condition of the Tester and Batteries Do not use if the Tester appears damaged or if the Tester is not operating properly. Specifically examine the probe tip for cracks or breakage before use. If in doubt, have the Tester serviced. Do not apply more than the rated voltage as marked on the Tester. Use caution with voltages above 30 V ac as a shock hazard may exist. Comply with local and national safety requirements. Use proper protective equipment as required by local or national authorities.

Operating Instructions The product is always on and ready to use, subject to battery and Tester condition. Checking Battery and Tester Push the Battery Check Button. If the tip glows, the batteries are good and the Tester is operational. If the tip does not glow, replace batteries with two AAA (LR3) batteries. If the Tester still does not function, have it serviced. Checking for AC Voltage Placing the tip of the Tester near an ac voltage (within the specified range of the Tester) produces a steady glow at the tip.
