4. Instrucións de funcionamento

The Testboy 11 is designed for simple and intuitive operation.

1. Encendido: The device is always in standby mode. To activate, simply hold the tester. It performs a self-test upon activation.
2. Proba para o voltage: Hold the sensor tip of the Testboy 11 close to the object you wish to test (e.g., a cable, socket, or switch).
3. Interpretación de sinais:
   • Se AC voltage is detected (within the range of 110-1000V AC), the LED indicator will light up, and an audible buzzer will sound.
   • The intensity of the optical and acoustic signals may vary depending on the proximity to the voltage source and the strength of the electric field.
4. Apagado: The device automatically powers off after a period of inactivity to conserve battery life.
