Function Description

The TACKLIFE VT02 is an advanced AC voltage detector designed to identify the presence of AC voltage in electrical systems. It helps users determine live and null wires and detect AC voltage in various applications. The device is equipped with a non-contact voltage (NCV) sensor, an LED flashlight, a signal indicator, and an LCD screen for visual feedback. It is intended for use by individuals who need to safely and accurately detect AC voltage.

Important Technical Specifications

• Operating Voltage: 3V
• AC Voltage Detection Range: 12V to 1000V (high sensitivity mode) and 48V to 1000V (low sensitivity mode), at 50/60Hz.
• Operating Temperature: 0°C to 40°C
• Storage Temperature: -10°C to 50°C
• Relative Air Humidity: ≤95%
• Altitude: ≤2000m
• Safety Compliance: CAT.III 1000V, CAT.IV 600V; CE certified.
• Battery: 2 x 1.5V AAA batteries.

Usage Features

The TACKLIFE VT02 offers several user-friendly features:

Switching On/Off:

• To switch on, press the power button for 2 seconds. The buzzer will alarm, and the LCD screen will light up.
• To switch off, press the power button once. The screen will turn off.

High/Low Sensitivity Modes:

• The device defaults to low sensitivity mode (48-1000V) upon startup.
• To switch to high sensitivity mode (12-1000V), press and hold the sensitivity/flashlight button until the LED light turns on, then press the same button once to make the "S" button light up.
• The sensitivity mode resets to low sensitivity each time the tester is turned on, requiring manual adjustment if high sensitivity is needed.

LED Flashlight:

• When the tester is running, press the sensitivity/flashlight button for more than 2 seconds to turn on the LED light.
• Press the same button for more than 2 seconds to turn off the light.

Live/Null Wire Test:

• Live Wire Test: When the sensor is close to a live wire, the buzzer alarms rapidly, the red indicator flashes quickly, and the LCD shows red light.
• Null Wire Test: When the sensor is close to a null wire, the buzzer alarms slowly, the red indicator flashes slowly, and the LCD shows green light.
• Distinguishing Wires in Sockets: Due to varying socket structures, the LCD light color may not always differentiate live/null wires. In such cases, distinguish by the number of brightness bars on the screen (more bars for live wire). If wires are very close, separate them or distinguish by signal strength (stronger for live, weaker for null).

AC Voltage Detection:

• Place the probe near the AC power supply. The red indicator flashes upon sensing AC voltage.
• The stronger the voltage, the more bright bars appear on the LCD screen, and the more frequently the buzzer alarms.

Automatic Shutdown:

• To conserve battery, the device automatically switches off after approximately 3 minutes of no button presses and no voltage signal detection.

Low Battery Indicator:

• When the battery voltage drops below 2.5V, a "battery" symbol appears on the LCD, indicating that batteries need replacement.
• The device will automatically turn off if the voltage drops below 2.3V.
• Using the tester with a low battery can lead to false readings and potential safety hazards.

Maintenance Features

Battery Replacement:

• Rotate the battery cover as shown in the manual.
• Remove old batteries and replace them with two new 1.5V AAA batteries, observing positive and negative polarity.
• Ensure the battery cover is locked before using the device to avoid electric shock.

Cleaning:

• Wipe off debris with a moist, soft cloth.
• Do not use cleaning agents or solvents.
• Ensure the voltage detector is completely dry before use.

Repair and Service:

• Beyond battery replacement, users should not attempt to repair or service the multimeter unless qualified and equipped with the necessary calibration, performance testing, and service instruments.

Warranty:

• TACKLIFE offers a 24-month after-sales service.
• Within 24 months, customers can request a refund or replacement for any product issues.
• 30-day Money Back Guarantee: Full refund within the first 30 days of purchase.
• 30 to 90 days: Replacement of defective unit due to manufacturer fault.
• 90 Days to 6 Months: Replacement of defective unit. Registering on the website provides an extra 24 months of warranty.
