For Use By Trained Personnel Only
Anyone using this instrument should be knowledgeable
and trained about the risks involved with measuring
medium and high 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.
�WARNING and PRECAUTIONS
• Use extreme caution when testing live electrical
circuits due to risk of injury from electrical shock.
• Do not exceed the maximum overload limits
(see specifications) or the limits marked on the
instrument itself. Never test voltage more than
122 kV AC RMS.
• When using the HIGH range, the TIC 410A HOT
STICK or equivalent extension pole MUST be used.
• Comply with local and national safety
requirements.
• Use proper protective equipment as required by
local and national authorities.

• Observe the proper safety precautions when
working with voltages above 33 VAC RMS to avoid
electrical shock hazard.
• Before and after hazardous voltage measurements,
test the TIC 300 PRO by pressing the TEST button
and/or on a known source such as line voltage to
determine proper operation.
• Never ground yourself when taking measurements.
Do not touch exposed circuit elements.
• Do not operate the instrument in an explosive
atmosphere.
• Do not expose this product to rain or moisture. This
increases the risk of fire or electric shock.
•
Do not rely on the TIC 300 PRO for testing shielded wire.
• Do not let the unit make contact with a live line
with voltage higher than 20 kV.
• Three phase feeder cables with conductors close to
each other may self-cancel the electric field and
will not be detected by the TIC 300 PRO tracer.
Verify that the phase conductors are separated
by at least 15 in (38.1 cm) before testing for AC
voltage.
UNPACKING AND INSPECTION

INTRODUCTION
The TIC 300 PRO safely checks for the presence of AC
voltage without making any disconnection in cables,
wall sockets, fuses, circuit breakers, junction boxes, etc.
No current flow is needed for correct operation.
Rugged and reliable for utility, industrial and mine safety
applications, the TIC 300 PRO warns against dangerous
voltages in low and medium voltage applications up to
122 KV without contacting the energized conductor.
Features
• Utility tool for checking transmission lines, power
distribution equipment, down power lines, fuses,
and load break connectors
• Lower voltage setting for checking voltage
presence in breaker panels, breakers, power
outlets and wiring
• Verifies presence of voltage from 30 VAC to
122,000 VAC (122 kV)
• Non-contact AC voltage detection
• Visual and audible voltage indication
•
Self-test for verifying that the tester is working properly
• Ergonomic design with a convenient handle
• Drop proof up to 6 ft (1.83 m)
Use with the Hot Stick 410A when voltage exceeds 1500 V

OPERATION
ON/OFF Button
When the TIC 300 PRO is activated, the blue LEDs and
beeper will pulse at a slow rate about twice a second.
The red LED of the range (HIGH) will turn ON.
TEST Button
The TEST button should be used prior to testing actual
power circuits. The TEST function will cause the blue
LEDs and beeper of the range selected (LOW or HIGH) to
pulse at a fast rate.
OSHA listed clearance distances for working with
voltage. National or local requirements may be
different.
Line voltage (kV) Phase to ground Phase to phase

Note1 – No contact necessary
�Caution: If a three phase circuit is being checked and
one phase is open, the voltage from another phase
maybe detected and will give a faulty indication. Always
make sure that the phase cables are separated by at least
20 in (50.8 cm).

Voltage Detection
LOW Range
1. Push the ON/OFF push button to turn the unit ON.
2. The high voltage detection circuit is activated. A
beep will sound and the blue LEDs will flash twice
per second.
3. Push the LOW range push button. The unit is ready
for low voltage detection.
4. Place the probe tip of the TIC 300 PRO near, but not
touching, a low (<1000 V) voltage line (Fig. 1).
5. If voltage is present, the blue LEDs will blink and the
beeper will sound at an increased rate. Continuous
visual (blue LEDs) and audible indicators will increase
when the probe tip makes contact with or is very
close to the voltage line.
Fig. 1 Voltage detection in a line
HIGH Range (HOT STICK must be used)
(See Fig. 2)
1. Push the ON/OFF push button to turn the unit ON.
2. The high voltage detection circuit is activated. A
beep will sound and the blue LEDs will flash twice
per second.
3. Approach the probe tip near, but not touching, a
high voltage (>1500 V and <122 kV) conductor.
