5.7. Non-Contact AC Voltage Measurements
1. Touch the probe tip to the hot (LIVE) conductor or insert into the hot
(LIVE) side of the electrical outlet.
2. If AC voltage is present, the detector red LED light will illuminate.
a. NOTE: The conductors in electrical cord sets are often twisted. For
best results, rub the probe tip along a length of the cord to
assure placing the tip in close proximity to the live conductor.
b. NOTE: The detector is designed with high sensitivity. Static electricity
or other sources of energy may randomly trip the sensor. This
is normal operation.
WARNING: Risk of Electrocution. Before use, always test the Voltage
Detector on a known live circuit to verify proper operation
