FAQs

What is the voltage detection range?

The voltage tester can detect voltages between 200V and 600V.

What type of batteries does it use?

It uses 2 x AAA batteries, which are sold separately.

Is this tester safe to use?

Yes, it is designed with safety in mind and is Cat III 600V rated. However, always follow standard electrical safety procedures.

How do I know if the tester is working?

The tester should provide a visual or audible indication when voltage is detected. You can test it on a known live source, such as a wall socket, to verify its functionality.

What should I do if the tester gives a false reading?

Verify the reading with another method. If false readings persist, check for external interference or replace the tester.

Can I use this tester on all types of wires?

It can be used on a wide range of wires. Always ensure the voltage is within the supported range (200V - 600V).

How should I store the voltage tester?

Store it in a dry and clean environment, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.

Troubleshooting

Tester does not turn on.

Check the battery compartment for correct battery installation and ensure the batteries are not depleted. Replace with new batteries if needed.

Tester does not detect voltage on a known live wire.

Ensure the voltage is within the tester's range (200V - 600V). Check the tester's functionality on a known live source. If problems persist, consider replacing the tester.

Erratic readings or false positives.

Ensure the testing environment is free of excessive electrical noise. Keep the tester away from potential interference sources.
