TROLEX TX5053 Deadline Voltage Checker
APPLICATION
The Cheker is a tool which will allow an experienced electrician to carry
out a final check to prove that conductors are dead after all the usual safety
procedures and precautions have been taken.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Remove the Cheker from its packaging and press the membrane switch. If the LED
fails to illuminate, charge the Cheker for 14 hours before use.
Hold the Cheker between thumb and finger, positioning the sloping LED window
for the optimum viewing angle.
Press the membrane switch.
The LED will flash to indicate that the Cheker battery is charged.
CAUTION LED does not indicate calibration status of the Cheker. To prove sensor is picking up voltage in the expected threshold, it should be tested prior to use by subjecting it to a known electrical field.
The LED will change from ‘flashing’ to ‘steady’ as the instrument senses the
electric field surrounding a live conductor, (it is not necessary to actually
touch the conductor, the operating Distance is approximately proportional to
the voltage level present and the size of the conductor).
If the LED continues to flash, this indicates that the Cheker is not sensing a
live electric field.
WARNING DO NOT USE THE CHEKER IF THE LED DOES NOT FLASH.
The enclosure is coated with a static-dissipative coating; care should be
taken to not damage this coating and therefore reduce its effectiveness. The
Cheker will switch off automatically if the battery voltage falls below the
critical safe working level.
If the LED does NOT flash when the Cheker is switched on, recharge the Cheker.
Conductors with metal screens or armouring will not have a surrounding
electric field. In such cases carry out the test at the exposed ends of the
conductors.
CHARGING
The Cheker can be charged at any time by inserting it into Cheker charger. Make sure it is fully home in the charger otherwise the charging system will not function correctly. The Cheker will fully charge in approximately 14 hours.
DO NOT LEAVE CHEKER ON PERMANENT CHARGE AS THIS WILL REDUCE THE LIFE OF THE
BATTERIES – ONLY CHARGE WHEN NECESSARY.
DO NOT STORE CHEKER IN CHARGER.
DO NOT LEAVE CHEKER IN A DISCHARGED STATE FOR LONG PERIODS.
Always switch off Cheker Charger when not in use.
SERVICING AND REPAIR
No user serviceable parts are within the Cheker, for repair contact the Product Support Department at Trolex.

DISPOSAL
Exhausted batteries contain mildly corrosive substances and must be disposed
of in the correct manner. Make sure that the battery is completely discharged
before disposal.
Do not incinerate as this may result in an explosion.
CONSULT OUR PRODUCT SUPPORT DEPARTMENT IF YOU REQUIRE ASSISTANCE.
