80-1000V NON-CONTACT VOLTAGE DETECTORMODEL NO:AK1998.V3Thank you for purchasing a Sealey product. Manufactured to a high standard, this product will, if used according to these instructions,and properly maintained, give you years of trouble free performance.IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. NOTE THE SAFE OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS, WARNINGS & CAUTIONS. USETHE PRODUCT CORRECTLY AND WITH CARE FOR THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH IT IS INTENDED. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND/ORPERSONAL INJURY AND WILL INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY. KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS SAFE FOR FUTURE USE.Refer toinstructionmanualWear protectiveclothingAK1998.V3 Issue:5 24/05/23Original Language Version© Jack Sealey LimitedWear protectivegloves1. SAFETY WARNING! Ensure Health and Safety, local authority and general workshop practice regulations are adhered to when using tools.NOTE: FOR USE BY COMPETENT PERSONS Anyone using this instrument should be knowledgeable and trained about the risks involvedwith measuring voltage, especially in an industrial setting, and the importance of taking safety precautions and of testing the instrument beforeand after using it to ensure that it is in good working condition.9 Read and understand all of the instructions and safety information in this manual before operating or servicing this tool.8 DO NOT use the unit if it is wet or damaged.8 DO NOT operate with the case open.9 Only use the tester as specified, or the protection supplied by the voltage detector can be compromised.8 DO NOT rely on the voltage detector to detect the presence or absence of voltage on a conductor for safety purposes. A single pole non-contact voltage detector such as this product is not suitable to determine if a circuit is hazardous. A volt meter or 2-pole voltage detectoris necessary to confirm the absence of hazardous voltage prior to commencing work.8 DO NOT use if the light/buzzer fails to operate.8 DO NOT expose the unit to extremes in temperature or high humidity. Refer to ‘Specifications’ as failure to observe these precautionsmay result in severe injury and can damage the tester.9 Test on a known voltage first to make sure that the voltage tester operates correctly. This should be done both before and after eachrepair.NOTE: When using the voltage detector if tip does not glow, voltage could still be present. The detector indicates active voltage in the presenceof electric fields of sufficient strength generated from the source mains voltage. If the field strength is low, the detector may not provide indicationof live voltages. Lack of an indication occurs if the detector is unable to sense the presence of voltage, which may be influenced byseveral factors such as shielded wire and cables, thickness and type of insulation, distance from the voltage source, condition of the detectorand batteries.9 Hold the tester behind the tactile barrier.9 Always have detected faults to be rectified by a qualified electrician.CAUTION with voltages above 30V AC as a shock hazard may exist. WARNING! The AK1998.V3 will not detect voltages in cables connected to a centre tapped earth supply e.g. 110V transformeror generator.2. INTRODUCTIONNon-contact voltage detector with LED/audible indication. Designed for quickly identifying wire and cable breaks as well as detecting voltage in fuses,cables, switches, outlets, lighting fixtures and many more. Features two selectable sensitive settings low gear (L) and high gear (H) detecting voltageranges from 80V – 1000V. Requires 2 x AAA batteries (not included).3.
