6. Medium Voltage Mode (100 V to 1000V AC): Place the tip of the VF5 near an
AC voltage. If the VF5 detects voltage within the defined detection range the green
LED will turn off, the red LED will turn on, the sounder will beep rapidly and the
detector will vibrate constantly.
NOTE: The detector cannot determine the actual voltage. The voltage level where the
detector switches from the low to medium voltage mode is affected by insulation type
and thickness, distance from the voltage source, and other factors.
7. Low Battery Indication: Replace the batteries if the green LED does not turn on.
When the detector is on and the battery voltage is too low for reliable operation,
the sounder will beep three times and the green LED will turn off indicating the
detector is not operational. Replace the batteries to restore operation.
Auto Power Off: To conserve battery life, the detector will automatically turn off

after approximately 5 minutes of inactivity. When powering down the detector will
beep twice and the green LED will turn off.
Torch: Momentarily press the torch

conserve battery life, the torch will automatically turn off after approximately 5
minutes.
NOTE: If the battery voltage is too low to operate the torch the detector will indicate
this condition by beeping three times and the torch will turn off. The voltage detector
has its own low battery threshold and may remain operational. Refer to Verify Operation
(Step 4) in this guide before using detector.
