Información de seguridade

Read and understand all safety warnings and operating instructions before using this product. Failure to follow these instructions may result in electric shock, fire, or serious injury.

• Always assume circuits are live until verified otherwise.
• Non empregues o dispositivo se parece estar danado ou non funciona correctamente.
• Ensure proper connection of test leads to avoid short circuits or damage to the device.
• Empregar o equipo de protección individual (EPI) axeitado cando se traballe con sistemas eléctricos.
• The NCV function is for quick checks; always confirm with a known voltage source if possible.
• Manteña o dispositivo lonxe da auga e das temperaturas extremas.

Configuración

Before first use, ensure both the transmitter and receiver are fully charged using the provided charging cable.

1. Cargando: Connect the charging cable to the charging port on both the transmitter and receiver, then connect to a suitable USB power source. The battery indicator will show charging status.
2. Encendido/apagado: Manteña premido o botón de acendido tanto no transmisor como no receptor para acender ou apagar os dispositivos.
3. Conexión do transmisor: For circuit tracing, connect the transmitter to the circuit you wish to trace. Use the test leads and alligator clips for direct connection to wires or terminals. For underground tracing, connect one lead to the wire and the other to the grounding rod inserted into the earth.

Instrucións de funcionamento

Circuit Tracing (Live & De-energized Wires)

1. Conectar o transmisor: Connect the transmitter to the circuit as described in the Setup section. Ensure a secure connection.
2. Encendido: Acenda tanto o transmisor como o receptor.
3. Adjust Transmitter Intensity: On the transmitter, select the appropriate transmission intensity level (3 levels available) based on the environment and desired detection depth. Higher intensity for deeper or longer traces.
4. Scan with Receiver: Hold the receiver and move it along the suspected path of the wire. The receiver will provide audible beeping alerts and a visual signal strength bar on its display.
5. Adjust Receiver Sensitivity: Use the 8-level sensitivity adjustment on the receiver. Start with higher sensitivity for a broad scan, then reduce it for precise positioning and to minimize interference when nearing the target wire.
6. Locate Target: Follow the strongest signal indication (both audio and visual) to pinpoint the exact location of the wire, break, or short circuit.

Vol. Sen contactotagDetección e (NCV).

1. Activate NCV: On the receiver, press the NCV button to activate the non-contact voltagmodo de detección e.
2. Scan for Voltage: Bring the tip of the receiver close to the wire or outlet you want to test.
3. Interpret Indication: The receiver will provide audible and visual alerts (e.g., flashing LED, changing display) if live AC voltage é detectado.

Digital Multimeter Functions

The transmitter unit integrates digital multimeter capabilities:

1. Connect Test Probes: Insert the test pen and test clip into the appropriate ports on the transmitter.
2. Seleccionar función: Use the mode selection buttons on the transmitter to cycle through available measurement functions: AC/DC voltage, continuity, resistance, current, and frequency.
3. Realizar medición: Apply the test probes to the circuit or component you wish to measure. The reading will be displayed on the transmitter screen.
