1. SAFETY
WARNING! Ensure Health and Safety, local authority and general workshop practice regulations are adhered to when using tools.
‰
NOTE: 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 taking safety precautions and of testing the instrument before
and after using it to ensure that it is in good working condition.
Read and understand all of the instructions and safety information in this manual before operating or servicing this tool.
9
DO NOT use the unit if it is wet or damaged.
8
DO NOT operate with the case open.
8
Only use the tester as specified, or the protection supplied by the voltage detector can be compromised.
9
DO NOT rely on the voltage detector to detect the presence or absence of voltage on a conductor for safety purposes. A single pole non-
8
contact voltage detector such as this product is not suitable to determine if a circuit is hazardous. A volt meter or 2-pole voltage detector
is necessary to confirm the absence of hazardous voltage prior to commencing work.
DO NOT use if the light/buzzer fails to operate.
8
DO NOT expose the unit to extremes in temperature or high humidity. Refer to 'Specifications' as failure to observe these precautions
8
may result in severe injury and can damage the tester.
Test on a known voltage first to make sure that the voltage tester operates correctly. This should be done both before and after each
9
repair.
NOTE: When using the voltage detector if tip does not glow, voltage could still be present. The detector indicates active voltage in the presence
of electric fields of sufficient strength generated from the source mains voltage. If the field strength is low, the detector may not provide indication
of live voltages. Lack of an indication occurs if the detector is unable to sense the presence of voltage, which may be influenced by
several factors such as shielded wire and cables, thickness and type of insulation, distance from the voltage source, condition of the detector
and batteries.
Hold the tester behind the tactile barrier.
9
Always have detected faults to be rectified by a qualified electrician.
9
CAUTION with voltages above 30V AC as a shock hazard may exist.
WARNING! The AK1998.V3 will not detect voltages in cables connected to a centre tapped earth supply e.g. 110V transformer
‰
or generator.
2. INTRODUCTION
