Frequently Asked Questions - ActiveFinder XP Laserliner

How to detect an electrical voltage with the ActiveFinder XP?

Place the tip of the detector on the area to check (cable, socket, etc.). If voltage is present, the tip lights up red and a rapid audible signal sounds. Always check all three phases (L1, L2, L3).

What does the color of the detector tip mean?

The tip lights up green when turning on. In normal operation, it turns red when voltage is present. In ZOOM mode, it lights up orange, and becomes red if voltage is detected.

How to use the ZOOM function?

Hold down the ZOOM button to increase sensitivity (12 VAC to 1000 VAC). The tip lights up orange. Move the device over the area to check; if voltage is present, the tip turns red and a signal sounds every second.

How to replace the batteries?

Open the battery compartment and insert two AAA 1.5 V batteries (LR03) observing polarity. Replace the batteries if the audible signal becomes weak or if the flashlight loses power.

What is the protection rating of the device?

The ActiveFinder XP has a protection rating of IP 67, meaning it is dust-tight and can be temporarily immersed in water (up to 1 meter for 30 minutes).

Can voltage be detected behind a wall or metal covering?

No, it is impossible to detect voltage behind metal panels and coverings. Differences in insulation (thickness and type) may also affect detection.

What to do if the device does not detect voltage when it should?

First check proper operation on a known source (e.g., 230 V socket). Make sure the batteries are charged. If the problem persists, stop using the device and contact customer service.

How to disable the audible signal?

Device off: hold the On/Off switch until the tip lights up green. Device on: hold the switch until the tip flashes green. To reactivate the sound, repeat the operation until a beep sounds.

What safety precautions should be observed?

Use the device only within specifications. Do not work on live circuits in damp conditions. Ensure the device is clean and dry. Observe overvoltage categories and do not exceed 600 V between the device and ground in CAT III.

How to clean and maintain the ActiveFinder XP?

Clean all components with a slightly damp cloth. Do not use cleaning agents, abrasives, or solvents. Store the device in a dry and clean place.

Read the operating instructions and the enclosed brochure „Guarantee and additional notices“ completely. Follow the instructions they contain. This document must be kept in a safe place and passed on together with the device.

Function/Application

Non-contact tester for locating electrical voltage (230 VAC) in cables, sockets, bulb sockets, fuses, control cabinet and system components. Visual and acoustic signals as well as vibration indicate whether a voltage is present.

Safety instructions

• The device must only be used in accordance with its intended purpose and within the scope of the specifications.
• The measuring tools and accessories are not toys. Keep out of reach of children.
• Modifications or changes to the device are not permitted, this will otherwise invalidate the approval and safety specifications.
• Do not expose the device to mechanical stress, extreme temperatures or significant vibration.
• If you are working with voltages higher than 24 V/AC / 60 V/DC, exercise extreme caution. Touching the electrical conductors at such voltages poses a risk of life-threatening electric shocks.
• If the device comes into contact with moisture or other conductive-residue, work must not be carried out under voltage. At and above voltages of 24 V/AC / 60 V/DC, the presence of moisture creates the risk of life-threatening electric shocks.
• Clean and dry the device before use.
• When using the device outdoors, make sure that the weather conditions are appropriate and/or that suitable protection measures are taken.
• In overvoltage category IV (CAT IV - 1000 V), the voltage between the test device and earth must not exceed 1000 V.
• Before taking any measurements, make sure that both the area to be tested (e.g. a line), the test device and the accessories used (e.g. connection cable) are in proper working order. Test the device by connecting it to known voltage sources (e.g. a 230 V socket in the case of AC testing).
• The device must no longer be used if one or more of its functions fail or the battery charge is weak.
• Observe the safety precautions of local and national authorities relating to the correct use of the device and any prescribed safety equipment (e.g. electrician's safety gloves).
• Do not work alone in the vicinity of hazardous electrical installations and only under the guidance of a qualified electrician.
• The measuring device must not be used as a substitute for a two-pole zero potential test.

Additional information on use

Observe the technical safety regulations for working on electrical systems, especially: 1. Safely isolating from power supply, 2. Securing to prevent system being switched on again, 3. Checking zero potential, two-pole, 4. Earthing and short-circuiting, 5. Securing and covering adjacent live components.

Safety instructions

Using artificial, optical emission (OStrV)

LED outlet

• The device works with LEDs of risk group RG 0 (exempt, no risk) in accordance with the latest versions of applicable standards relating to photobiological safety (EN 62471:2008-09ff / IEC/TR 62471:2006-07ff).
• Radiation power: Peak wavelength equals 453 nm. Mean radiance is below the limit values of risk group RG 0.
• When used for the intended purpose and under reasonably foreseeable conditions, the accessible radiation of the LEDs is safe for the human eye and skin.
• Temporary, irritating optical effects (e.g. dazzling, flash blindness, afterimages, colour vision impairment) cannot be completely ruled out, especially under low ambient light conditions.
• Do not intentionally look directly into the radiation source for longer periods of time.
• Special safety precautions are not necessary.
• No specific measures are required to ensure the limit values of risk group RG 0 are maintained.

Safety instructions

Dealing with electromagnetic radiation

- The measuring device complies with electromagnetic compatibility regulations and limit values in accordance with EMC-Directive 2014/30/EU.

- Local operating restrictions – for example, in hospitals, aircraft, petrol stations or in the vicinity of people with pacemakers – may apply. There is a possibility of a dangerous impact on – or interference with – electronic devices.
