Caution! Risk of electric shock

Caution! Refer to the explanation in this instruction sheet

Double insulated CAT IV Equipment is for measurements performed at the source of a low voltage installation (i.e. electrical meters and measurements on primary over current protection devices and ripple control units) Battery Solid particle protection: dust tight IP6x Liquid ingress protection: water jets IPx5

Do not dispose of this product as unsorted municipal waste-contact a qualified recycler

Complies with European Directives Canadian Standards Association (NRTL/C) Conforms to relevant Australian standards Conforms to relevant South Korean EMC Standards 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. The instrument should be tested before and after use to ensure that it is in good working condition.2 SAFETY INFORMATION Warning To prevent possible electrical shock, re, or personal injury:

• If the Voltage Probe is used in a manner not specied by the manufacturer, protection provided by the Voltage Probe may be affected.

• Test on a known live source within the rated AC voltage range of the product both before and after use to ensure the Voltage Probe is in good working condition.

• When using the Voltage Probe, voltage may be present even if the tip does not glow. The Voltage Probe indicates active voltage in the presence of electrostatic elds of sufcient strength generated from the source voltage. If the eld strength is low, the Voltage Probe may not provide indication of live voltage. Lack of an indication occurs if the Voltage Probe is unable to sense the presence of voltage which may be inuenced by several factors including, but not limited to: - Position of the earth conductors in the environment under test - Shielded wire/cables - Thickness and type of insulation - Distance from the voltage source - Fully-isolated users that prevent an effective ground - Receptacles in recessed sockets / differences in socket design - Condition of the Voltage Probe and batteries

• The Voltage probe is not the appropriate tool to check for the absence of voltage. Use a voltage tester therefore.

• Do not use the Voltage Probe if it appears damaged or is not operating properly. Closely examine the probe tip for cracks or breakage before use. If in doubt, have the Voltage Probe serviced.

• Do not apply more than the rated voltage as marked on the Voltage Probe.

• When operating the Voltage Probe, keep ngers behind the nger guard.

• Do not use the Voltage Probe if it is not ashing upon power on.

• Use caution with voltages above 30 V AC as a shock hazard may exist.

• Comply with local and national safety requirements.

• Use proper protective equipment as recommended or required by local or national authorities.3 FEATURES The Beha-Amprobe NCV-1000 -EUR VOLTx series Non-Contact Voltage (NCV) Probe provides maximum safety and convenience for detecting AC voltage without interrupting electrical systems. Designed to conveniently t in your shirt pocket, the NCV-1000 -EUR VOLTx series Voltage Probe performs in indoor and outdoor settings. Safety tested to the highest category measurement, CAT IV 1000 V, as well as IP65 water and dust resistant, the NCV-1000 -EUR VOLTx series is t for the toughest industrial applications.

• Non-contact voltage detection up to 1000 V AC

• Built-in ashlight (NCV-1030/1040-EUR (MAGNO-)VOLTx)

• Water and dust resistant - IP65 rated

• CAT IV 1000 V safety rated

Magnetic solenoid testing

• Note: High sensitivity range is optimized for 12 to 50 V range with a maximum indication up to 1000 V. Using the tester above 50 V in high sensitivity range may affect polarity indication. Your shipping carton includes a voltage probe, user manual and 2 1.5 V AAA batteries (installed). APPLICATIONS

• Detects the presence of AC voltage in cables, circuit breakers, wall sockets, junction boxes, fuses, extension cords and more.

• Tests voltage through wire insulation.

• Identies cable breaks in wires, cords and lighting systems connected in series.4

• Identies polarity (line vs. neutral) of receptacles and cables. (Depending of the internal construction and dimension of receptacles in different countries this application may be inuenced.)

• Tests voltage without contact.

• Safety CAT IV 1000 V rated for a wide range of applications including industrial, commerical, and residential.

• Water-resistant IP65 rated for indoor and outdoor use.

• Magnetic solenoid detection to diagnose electromagnets and relays (NCV-1040-EUR MAGNO-VOLTx only). OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Turning the Voltage Probe ON To turn the Voltage Probe on, momentarily press the ON/OFF button. A continual single ash visually indicates the Voltage Probe is active in default voltage range (50 to 1000 V). Press the ON/OFF button again to switch to high sensitivity range (12 to 50 V for NCV-1030/1040-EUR (MAGNO-)VOLTx only). A continual double ash indicates the Voltage Probe’s sensitivity range is at the 12 to 50 V range. Turning the Voltage Probe OFF Press and hold the ON/OFF button for longer than two second to turn the Voltage Probe off. The absence of ash at the tip indicates the Voltage Probe is inactive. Auto Power Off To save battery life, the NCV-1030/1040-EUR (MAGNO-)VOLTx are enabled with an automatic power off feature. The Voltage Probe will automatically power off after approximately 3 minutes of non-use. Checking for the Presence of AC Voltage To test for the presence of AC voltage in a receptacle, insert the tip of the Voltage Probe. To test a wire, approach the wire with the tip of the Voltage Probe. Switch between default (50 V to 1000 V AC) and high sensitivity (12 V to 50 V AC) voltage range detection by short pressing the ON/ OFF button (NCV-1030/1040-EUR (MAGNO-)VOLTx only). The LED at the tip of the Voltage Probe will illuminate and ash bright red and a buzzer will sound when AC voltage is detected.5 Note: High sensitivity range is optimized for 12 to 50 V range with a maximum indication up to 1000

V. Using the tester above 50 V in high sensitivity

range may affect polarity indication. When operating the Voltage Probe, always keep ngers behind the nger guard. Checking for the Magnetic Field (NCV-1040-EUR MAGNO-VOLTx) The NCV-1040-EUR MAGNO-VOLTx can test for a magnetic eld in addition to AC voltage detection. A solid yellow LED will illuminate when a magnetic eld is detected. Note: If AC voltage and a magnetic eld are detected simultaneously, the Voltage Probe will ash both red and yellow.
