GSAFETY WARNINGS

Read, understand and follow Safety Warnings and Operating Instructions

in the manual before using this product.

The detector’s safety features may not protect the user if not used in accordance with the

manufacturer’s instructions.

Check on a known live source within the rated AC voltage range of the detector before use to

ensure it is in working order.

Insulation type and thickness, distance from the voltage source, shielded wires, and other

factors may affect reliable operation.

The VF6 EX may help in the indication of live AC circuits only and must not be used as veriﬁ-

cation of a de-energised circuit. This is not a Safety Test Lamp.

Do not use if the detector appears damaged or if it is not operating property. If in doubt

replace the product.

Do not use on voltages that are higher than as marked on the VF6 EX.

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

Comply with all applicable safety codes. Use approved personal protective equipment when

working near live electrical circuits - particularly with regard to arc-ﬂash potential.

Do not operate detector if Low Battery warning occurs. Replace batteries immediately.

Use only GP AAA / LR03 batteries; do not replace batteries when an explosive atmosphere is

present

NOTE: : The VF6 EX is unable to detect voltage on armoured or sheathed cable, cable in conduit,

behind panels or in metallic enclosures.

Detector Description

1. Screw on battery cover

2. Torch

3. Torch button

4. 12 V button

5. On/Off button

6. LED indicators

7. Detector tip

8. Work light

Operation

1. Turning the VF6 EX on: Momentarily press the detector On/Off button. The sounder

will beep once, vibrate once and the green LED will illuminate to indicate that the detec-

tor is on and ready for use.

2. Turning the VF6 EX off: Momentarily press the On/Off button.The VF5 will beep

twice and vibrate twice and the green LED will turn off.

3. Turning the Sounder off and Vibrating motor off: Turn the VF6 EX on as described

above. The VF6 EX will now operate with both the sounder and the vibrating motor. To

turn the sounder and vibrating motor off, press and hold the On/Off button until the

green LED ﬂashes. To turn the sounder and vibrating motor back on press and hold the

On/Off button until the green LED ﬂashes, the sounder beeps and the unit vibrates.

4. Verify Operation: Before using VF6 EX, (1) Make sure the green LED is on, (2) Check

VF6 EX on a known live AC voltage that is within the deﬁned detection range of the VF6

EX.

5. Low Voltage Mode (12 to 1000V AC): ): Press and hold the 12 V button. The green

LED will change to orange to indicate the VF6 EX is in the low voltage mode. While

pressing the 12 V button place the tip of the VF6 EX near an AC voltage. When AC volt-

age is detected the LED will turn red and ﬂash, the sounder will beep and the detector

will vibrate. The ﬂash, beeping and vibration rate will increase as the VF6 EX gets closer

to the voltage source. If the VF6 EX detects a medium voltage (100 V – 1000 V) it will

automatically change over to the medium voltage mode, the red LED will change to a

steady glow, the sounder will beep rapidly and the detector will vibrate constantly.

6. Medium Voltage Mode (100 to 1000V AC): Place the tip of the VF6 EX near an AC

voltage. If the VF6 EX detects voltage within the deﬁned detection range the green LED

will turn off, the red LED will turn on, the sounder will beep rapidly and the detector will

vibrate constantly.

NOTE: The detector cannot determine the actual voltage. The voltage level where the detector

switches from the low to medium voltage mode is affected by insulation type and thickness,

distance from the voltage source, and other factors.

7. Low Battery Indication: Replace the batteries if the green LED does not turn on. When

the detector is on and the batteries are too low for reliable operation, the sounder will

beep three times and the green LED will turn off indicating the detector Is not operation-

al. Replace the batteries to restore operation.

8. Auto Power Off: To conserve battery life the detector will automatically turn off after

approximately 5 minutes of inactivity. When powering down the detector will beep twice,

vibrate twice and the green LED will turn off.

9. Torch: Momentarily press the torch button to turn the torch on or off. To conserve

battery life, the torch will automatically turn off after approximately 5 minutes.

NOTE: If the battery voltage is too low to operate the torch, the detector will indicate this

condition by beeping three times and the torch will turn off. The voltage detector has its own

low battery threshold and may remain operational. Refer to Verify Operation (Step 4) in this

guide before using detector.

Battery replacement

1. Carefully unscrew battery cap at the rear (torch end) of the detector.

2. Replace batteries with 2 x AAA 1.5V batteries. Observe polarity.

3. Carefully align cap with detector as shown below.

4. Screw cover onto the detector until it feels tight; do not use excessive force.

5. Verify operation by using the detector on a known live AC voltage within the deﬁned

detection range of the detector.

Note: When batteries are loaded for the ﬁrst time, please remove the white rectangular

security strip before installing. When replacing the batteries, be sure to secure the cap

ﬁrmly to maintain IP67 water and dust protection. A loose or over tightened battery cap

may compromise water and dust protection.

d’utilisation du présent manuel, et respectez-les.

En cas d’utilisation non conforme aux instructions du fabricant, les dispositifs de sécurité du

détecteur pourraient ne pas protéger l’utilisateur.

Le bon fonctionnement du détecteur doit être vériﬁé avant son utilisation sur une source de

tension connue comprise dans la plage de tensions CA nominales du détecteur.

Le type et l’épaisseur de l’isolant, la distance par rapport à la source de tension, les câbles

blindés et d’autres facteurs peuvent avoir un impact sur la ﬁabilité du résultat.

Le VF6 EX peut détecter des circuits à courant alternatif sous tension uniquement, et ne doit

pas être utilisé pour contrôler un circuit hors tension. Il ne s’agit pas d’une lampe de test de

sécurité.

N’utilisez pas le détecteur s’il est endommagé ou s’il ne fonctionne pas correctement. En cas de

doute, remplacez le produit.

N’utilisez pas le détecteur pour des tensions supérieures à celles indiquées sur son boîtier.

Utilisez l’appareil avec précaution pour des tensions supérieures à 30 V CA, en raison du risque

de choc électrique.

Respectez l’ensemble des consignes de sécurité applicables. Utilisez un équipement de protec-

tion individuelle approuvé lors d’interventions à proximité de circuits électriques sous tension,

pour vous protéger notamment d’éventuels arcs électriques.

N’utilisez pas le détecteur si l’avertissement Low Battery (Batterie faible) s’afﬁche. Remplacez les

piles immédiatement.

Utilisez uniquement des piles GP AAA / LR03 ; ne remplacez pas les piles dans une atmosphère

explosive.

REMARQUE :Le VF6 EX ne peut pas détecter la tension sur des câbles blindés, ou des câbles

passant dans des gaines, derrière des cloisons ou dans des boîtiers métalliques.
