FoR USE by ComPETENT PERSoNS

Anyone using this instrument should be knowledgeable and trained about the

risks involved with measuring voltage, especially in an industrial setting, and the

importance of taking safety precautions and of testing the instrument before and

after using it to ensure that it is in good working condition.

SaFETy INFoRmaTIoN

WaRNING: Use extreme caution when testing live electrical circuits due to risk of

injury from electrical shock.

 Warnings and Precautions

•

The VP-440 conforms to IEC 61010-031:2002; CAT IV 1000 V, class II, pollution

deg.2 and UL 61010-031.

•

This instrument is IEC 61010-031 certified for Installation Category IV (1000V).

It is recommended for use in distribution level and fixed installations, as well

as lesser installations, and not for primary supply lines, overhead lines and

cable systems.

 Warnings and Precautions

•

Do not exceed the maximum overload limits (see specifications) nor the limits

marked on the instrument itself. Never apply more than 1000 V ac rms.

•

Observe the proper safety precautions when working with voltages above

30 VAC rms to avoid electrical shock hazard.

•

Before and after hazardous voltage measurements, test the detector on a

known source such as line voltage to determine proper operation.

•

Never ground yourself when taking measurements. Do not touch exposed

circuit elements.

•

Do not operate the instrument in an explosive atmosphere.

•

Do not expose this product to rain or moisture This increases the risk of fire or

electric shock.

•

Do not rely on this tester for detecting AC voltage on a shielded wire.

•

Comply with local and national safety requirements.

•

Use proper protective equipment as required by local or national authorities.

INTRodUCTIoN

The VP-440 VoltProbe is an instrument for safely checking the presence of an AC

voltage without making any disconnections in cables, wall sockets, fuses, circuit

breakers, junction boxes, etc. No current flow is needed for correct operation.

Battery cap

oPERaTIoN

Apply the plastic tip to any connection point or move it along an insulated cable.

When an AC voltage is detected, the red indicator in the plastic tip will

illuminate.

A steady glow (not flash) indicates voltage presence. If there is no indication,

voltage could still be present. Operation may be affected by differences in socket

design and insulation thickness and type.

 Caution: If three phase equipment is being checked and one phase is open, the

Alternating Current

voltage is conducted back to the defective fuse through the other fuses and will give

a faulty indication.

European Community Directives: 2004/108/EC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) and

2006/95/EC (Low Voltage) as amended by 93/68/EEC (CE Marking). However, electrical

noise or intense electromagnetic fields in the vicinity of the equipment may disturb

the measurement circuit. Measuring instruments will also respond to unwanted

signals that may be present within the measurement circuit. Users should exercise

care and take appropriate precautions to avoid misleading results when making

measurements in the presence of electronic interference.
