To use the Testboy 114 Non-Contact Voltage Tester, follow these steps:
1. Safety Precautions:
- Avoid pointing the laser beam directly or indirectly towards the eyes.
- Do not make unauthorized changes or modifications to the instrument.
- Keep the instrument away from electrical welders, induction heaters, and other electromagnetic fields.
- Allow the instrument to adjust to temperature fluctuations before use.
- Avoid exposing the instrument to high temperatures, dust, and humidity.
- Keep the instrument away from children.
- Follow safety regulations for electrical facilities and equipment in industrial institutions.
2. Proper and Intended Use:
- The instrument is intended for use as described in the operation manual.
- Remove the batteries during long periods of inactivity.
- Failure to observe safety instructions may result in damage and void warranty claims.
3. Non-Contact Voltage Test:
- The Testboy 114 can detect live voltages using its built-in circuits.
- If a voltage of 110 V AC or more is detected, the white cap will glow red and the device will vibrate.
- To detect voltages below 110 V AC, switch on the flashlight using switch (1b).
- The Testboy 114 can detect voltages from 12 V AC without the need for a flowing current.
4. Checking the Voltage Tester:
- Before use, check the voltage tester against a known voltage supply (e.g., a power socket) to ensure it is working correctly.
- If the tip does not glow, there could still be voltage present.
- The tester indicates active voltage in the presence of electrostatic fields generated from the source (MAINS) voltage.
- Factors such as shielded wire/cables, insulation thickness, distance from the voltage source, and other conditions may affect voltage detection.
5. Safety Precautions for Competent Persons:
- Users of this instrument should be knowledgeable and trained about measuring voltage risks and safety precautions.
- The single-pole phase testing is not appropriate to determine if a line is live. Always use the double-pole voltage test for that purpose.
6. Flashlight:
- The Testboy 114 has a built-in high-performance LED flashlight.
- Turn on the flashlight using switch (1b).
- The LED has a burning time of up to 60 hours per set of batteries.
7. Changing the Batteries:
- To change the batteries, insert a screwdriver into the notch (2) and pry the battery compartment cover off.
- Make sure to insert the batteries correctly.
- Dispose of used batteries at authorized local collection points.
Please refer to the Testboy 114 Non-Contact Voltage Tester Instruction Manual for more detailed information and safety guidelines.
