WARNING

An electric shock can result in death or severe injury. It can also lead to property damage and damage to this instrument.

WARNING

Never point the laser beam directly or indirectly (on reflective surfaces) towards the eyes. Laser radiation can cause irreparable damage to the eyes. You must first deactivate the laser beam when measuring close to people.

General safety notes

WARNING

Unauthorized changes or modifications of the instrument are forbidden – such changes put the approval (CE) and safety of the instrument at risk. In order to operate the instrument safely, you must always observe the safety instructions, warnings and the information in the "Proper and Intended Use" Chapter.

WARNING

Please observe the following information before using the instrument:

Do not operate the instrument in the proximity of electrical welders, induction heaters and other electromagnetic fields.
After an abrupt temperature fluctuation, the instrument should be allowed to adjust to the new temperature for about 30 minutes before using it. This helps to stabilize the IR sensor.
Do not expose the instrument to high temperatures for a long period of time.
Avoid dusty and humid surroundings.
Measurement instruments and their accessories are not toys. Children should never be allowed access to them!
In industrial institutions, you must follow the accident prevention regulations for electrical facilities and equipment, as established by your employer's liability insurance organization.

Please observe the following five safety rules:

1 Disconnect.
2 Ensure that the instrument cannot be turned back on again.
3 Ensure isolation from the main supply voltage (check that there is no voltage on both poles).
4 Earth and short-circuit.
5 Cover neighbouring parts that are under live electrical load.

Disposal

For Testboy customers: Purchasing our product gives you the opportunity to return the instrument to collection points for waste electrical equipment at the end of its lifespan.

The EU Directive 2002/96/EC (WEEE) regulates the return and recycling of waste electrical and electronics equipment. As of 13/08/2005, manufacturers of electrical and electronics equipment are obliged to take back and recycle any electrical devices sold after this date for no charge. After that date, electrical devices must not be disposed of through the "normal" waste disposal channels. Electrical devices must be disposed of and recycled separately. All devices that fall under this directive must feature this logo.

Disposing of used batteries

As an end user, you are legally obliged (by the relevant laws concerning battery disposal) to return all used batteries. Disposal with normal household waste is prohibited!

Contaminant-laden batteries are labelled with the adjacent symbol which indicates the prohibition of disposal with normal household waste.

The abbreviations used for heavy metals are:

Cd = Cadmium, Hg = mercury, Pb = lead.

You can return your used batteries for no charge to collection points in your community or everywhere where batteries are sold!

Five year warranty

Testboy instruments are subject to strict quality control standards. The instrument is covered by a warranty for a period of five years against malfunctions during the course of your daily work (valid only with invoice). We will repair production or material defects free of charge upon return if these have not been caused by misuse or abuse and if the instrument has not been opened.

Operation

Thank you for choosing a Testboy ^® 11.

Non-contact voltage tester from 110 V AC
Audible warning tone

Non-contact voltage test

The Testboy ^® 11 is capable of detecting wires carrying live voltages using its built-in circuits in its tip.

If a voltage of 110 V AC or more is detected, the white cap will glow red (1) and a warning tone will sound.

A flowing current is not required!

Check the voltage tester before use against a known voltage supply (e.g. a power socket) to ensure that it is working correctly.

When using the Tester, if tip does not glow, voltage could still be present. The Tester indicates active voltage in the presence of electrostatic fields of sufficient strength generated from the source (MAINS) voltage. If the field strength is low, the Tester may not provide indication of live voltages. Lack of an indication occurs if the Tester is unable to sense the presence of voltage which may be influenced by several factors including, but not limited to:

• 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 Tester and Batteries

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

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.

The single-pole phase testing is not appropriate to determine whether a line is live or not. For this purpose, the double-pole voltage test is always required.
