SAFETY
WARNING! Ensure Health and Safety, local authority and general workshop
practice regulations are adhered to when using tools.
NOTE: 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.
-
Read and understand all of the instructions and safety information in this manual before operating or servicing this tool.
-
DO NOT use the unit if it is wet or damaged.
-
DO NOT operate with the case open.
-
Only use the tester as specified, or the protection supplied by the voltage detector can be compromised.
-
DO NOT rely on the voltage detector to detect the presence or absence of voltage on a conductor for safety purposes. A single pole noncontact voltage detector such as this product is not suitable to determine if a circuit is hazardous. A volt meter or 2-pole voltage detector is necessary to confirm the absence of hazardous voltage prior to commencing work.
-
DO NOT use if the light/buzzer fails to operate.
-
DO NOT expose the unit to extremes in temperature or high humidity. Refer to ‘Specifications’ as failure to observe these precautions
may result in severe injury and can damage the tester. -
Test on a known voltage first to make sure that the voltage tester operates correctly. This should be done both before and after each repair.
NOTE: When using the voltage detector if tip does not glow, voltage could still be present. The detector indicates active voltage in the presence of electric fields of sufficient strength generated from the source mains voltage. If the field strength is low, the detector may not provide indication of live voltages. Lack of an indication occurs if the detector is unable to sense the presence of voltage, which may be influenced by several factors such as shielded wire and cables, thickness and type of insulation, distance from the voltage source, condition of the detector and batteries. -
Hold the tester behind the tactile barrier.
-
Always have detected faults to be rectified by a qualified electrician.
CAUTION with voltages above 30V AC as a shock hazard may exist. -
WARNING! The AK1998.V3 will not detect voltages in cables connected to a centre tapped earth supply e.g. 110V transformer or generator.
INTRODUCTION
Non-contact voltage detector with LED/audible indication.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Battery removal see fig.1.
NOTE: The direction of how the batteries are to be installed is embossed
on the side of the voltage detector
OPERATION
-
With the batteries installed (see section 4), turn the unit on by rotating the switch to choose high or voltage sensitivity. The RED LED will flash once and the audible output will beep once when “High V” or “Low V” is selected. This indicates the batteries are functioning correctly.
-
Bring the probe (fig.2) in close proximity to the conductor, the red LED and audio output will indicate the presence of an AC supply voltage within the range stated in the specifications. To determine magnitude and or frequency an appropriate metering device is required.
-
Insulated cores may be checked for continuity breaks (fig.3).
NOTE: Each core must be individually connected to a detectable voltage.
- Electrical sockets (80V – 220V) can be checked by placing the probe tip into socket terminal aperture.
- NOTE: Wait until the LED and the audible output finishes before proceeding with the next operation. Using this device near equipment that generates electromagnetic interference may result in inaccurate indications.
MAINTENANCE
Periodically wipe the casing with a damp cloth DO NOT use abrasives or solvents.
