Voltage Tester
Instruction Manual
WARNING
Read First: Safety Information
Use the tester only as specified in this manual;
otherwise, the protection provided by the tester
may be impaired.
Warning
To avoid possible electric shock or personal
injury, follow these guidelines:
• Do not use tester if it is damaged. Visually
inspect tester to ensure case is not cracked.
• Inspect and replace leads if insulation is
damaged, metal is exposed, or probes are
cracked. Pay particular attention to the
insulation surrounding the connectors.
• Do not use tester if it operates abnormally as
protection maybe impaired.
• Do not use during electrical storms or in wet
weather.
• Do not use around explosive gas, dust, or vapor.
• Do not apply more than the rated voltage to
the tester. Voltage is not to exceed 600V.
• Always operate this solenoid-type tester
within the specified duty cycle on the front of
the tester. Duty cycle ratio is:
• 1:7 ON:OFF time for 240V or less
• 1:40 ON:OFF time for 240V or greater.
• Maximum ON time is 15 seconds.
Caution
To protect yourself, think "Safety First":
• Voltages exceeding 30VAC or 60VDC pose
a shock hazard so use caution.
• Never ground yourself when taking electrical
measurements.

• Use appropriate personal protective equipment
such as safety glasses, face shields, insulating
gloves, insulating boots, and/or insulating
mats.
• Use the 3-Step Testing Method. Before each
use:
• Verify tester operation by measuring a
known voltage. Apply tester to circuit under
test. And, then test on the known live volt-
age again to ensure proper operation.
• Connect the black common lead to ground
before applying the red test lead to voltage.
Disconnect the red test lead from the volt-
age first.
• Always work with a partner.
• When using the probes, keep fingers as far
behind the probe tips as possible.
Features:
• Vibration Mode with indicator movement
• Independent solenoid and electronic circuitry
design provides back-up voltage indication
for added safety
• Low Impedance Measuring Device
• Replaceable Test Leads
• Shielded probe tips
• Ultrasonically welded for added durability
Accessories:
• 61-072 Resistor-fused test leads
• C-90 Soft-sided carrying case
• 61-010 Leather case
To Measure AC Voltage:
• Ensure that the plug for the test leads is fully
seated into the banana jacks.
• Connect the tester in parallel with the load or
circuit.
• The tester indicates both the voltage type and
the voltage level.
To Measure DC Voltage:
• Ensure that the plug for the test leads is fully
seated into the banana jacks.
• Connect the tester in parallel with the load or
circuit.
• The tester indicates the voltage type, polarity,
and the voltage level.
