CAUTION

The equipment covered in these operating instructions should be

used by qualified employees, trained in and familiar with the

safety-related work practices, safety rules and other safety

requirements associated with the use of this type of equipment.

These instructions are not intended as a substitute for adequate

training, nor do they cover all details or situations which could be

encountered in relation to the operation of this type of equipment.

WARNING

Use appropriate length live line tool for the voltages being worked

and maintain minimum approach distances as outlined in OSHA

1910.269, Table R-6. Do not let live line tool fittings become

grounded in any way. This will damage meter and may cause

personal injury.

NOTICE

Before operating this equipment, read, understand and follow all

instructions contained in this manual. Keep instructions with

equipment.

Design and Function

The Hand Held power supply is designed to provide a single phase

known voltage source for the test and verification of a voltage

detector. It is recommended to use this tool before and after each

use of the meter to verify function of the meter to prevent false

indications in the event of a tool malfunction. It is specifically

designed for use on non-wired voltage detectors.

The supply provides an approximately 800 volt output, varying

slightly in relation to the actual voltage of the 9V battery that

supplies the unit. The readings the meter will give will also slightly

vary depending on the unit being tested and the position of all the

components. Due to the frequency output being higher than the 60

Hz our voltage detectors are calibrated to. This does not affect the

test results as it will still verify the meter is functioning and reading

a voltage. If any meter does not read a voltage, it would be

considered faulty and do not use it till proper function is verified.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

1. Remove the power supply from the rubber grip cover by pushing

up at the bottom and then pull the unit out.

2. Slide the cover off the battery compartment.

3. Remove the battery and replace it with a new 9V battery, being

sure to observe the orientation of the battery and matching it to

the legend at the bottom of the battery holder.

4. Slide the battery cover back onto the unit.

5. Place the unit back into the rubber cover by placing the top into

first and then pushing the bottom into the case.

CAUTION:

Use caution when handling the tool. The metal disk at the top of the unit

is an energized source when the power button is depressed, even when

the battery light is red.

TESTING ON KNOWN VOLTAGE

Testing with the Hand Held power supply on non-wired voltage

detectors only.

1. Turn the meter in question on and follow the instruction for

preparing the unit for use. The power supply can test the appropriate

meters in any position listed on the chart on page 5.

2. With the power supply in hand, depress and hold the power button.

If the light on the unit turns green, the battery voltage is good and

you can proceed to the next step. If the light is red, follow the

procedure on page 3 then repeat this step.

3. While holding the power button down and holding the meter being

tested in hand, make contact with the metal disk on the end of the

power supply with the tip of the meter. The expected results are

shown on page 5.

NOTE: Depending on how the meter is held, the results could vary. The

results on page 5 are under normal conditions, holding the body of the

housing and not touching the probe or the quick change tool adapter. if

you are not sure of the results, please contact technical support for

assistance.

4. Once test is complete, release the push button and return the power

supply to its normal storage location. The meter is now ready for use.
