Product Usage Instructions
Safety Precautions:
Before using the Non-Contact High Voltage Detector, ensure you have read
and understood the safety precautions outlined in the manual.
Applications :
- Non-contact detection of live voltages
- Find faults in cables
- Check and detect live high voltage cables
- Trace live wires
- Check high frequency radiation
- Check grounding equipment
- Detect residual or induced voltages
Operation :
- Power ON/OFF function: Press the ON/OFF button to power on the detector. Two red LEDs will flash, and the buzzer will generate a sound intermittently.
- Circuit Test function: Press the TEST button to ensure the whole circuit is working well before testing actual high voltage circuits.
- Ranges Selection: Use the LOW button for voltages between 50V~1.5kV and the HIGH button for voltages between 1.5kV~132kV.
Maintenance:
Examine the detector to ensure it is clean and dry before each use. Wipe
with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth if necessary.
FAQ:
-
Q: What should I do if the detector does not power on?
A: Check the battery and ensure it is properly installed. If the issue persists, contact customer support for assistance. -
Q: Can the detector be used for low voltage detection only?
A: No, the detector can be used for both low and high voltage detection by selecting the appropriate range.

Operation
-
ON/OFF button
When POWERED ON, the 2 red LEDs will Flash and the buzzer will generate a sound intermittently. The red LED of the HIGH range will be turned on. The original mode is the HIGH range. -
TEST button
Press the TEST button to do the self-test first, this is to make sure the circuits inside the HVD132 is ok. When you press the TEST button, the 2 red LEDs will glow and the buzzer will generate a sound continuously. The red LED of the HIGH range will be still on (the original mode). If the 2 red LEDs do not glow and the continuous sound doesn’t be generated, please replace with a new battery. -
LOW range button (Low voltage detection)
- Press the ON/OFF button to turn on the high voltage detector.
- Press the LOW range button, the 2 red LEDs will flash and the buzzer will generate a sound intermittently. The red LED of the LOW range will be turned on.
- The LOW range for low voltage detection : 50V~1.5kV. Place the probe sensing tip of the high voltage detector near a low voltage line (50V~1.5kV), but not touching the line.
- The red LEDs will flash very fast and the frequency of the sound will be at the same rate if a voltage is present.
- When the probe sensing tip makes contact or is very close to the voltage line, the red LEDs will glow and the sound will last continuously.
-
HIGH range (High voltage detection)
- Press the ON/OFF button to turn on the high voltage detector.
- The 2 red LEDs will flash and the buzzer will generate a sound intermittently. The red LED of the HIGH range will be turned on.
- The original mode is the HIGH range for high voltage detection: 1.5kV~132kV.
- Place the probe sensing tip of the high voltage detector near a high voltage source (1.5kV~132kV), but not touching the high voltage source.
- The red LEDs will flash very fast and the frequency of the sound will be at the same rate if a high voltage is present.
- When the probe sensing tip is getting closer to the High voltage source, the red LEDs will glow and the sound will last continuously.
Maintenance
Battery replacement
- Unscrew the battery cover on the rear with a screwdriver, then slide the battery cover off the tester.
- Take out the battery.
- Replace with a new battery (9V).
- Reinstall the battery cover and fasten the cover screws.
Cleaning and storage
WARNING
To avoid electrical shock or damage to the detector, do not get water inside
the case.
- Periodically wipe the case with a damp cloth and detergent; do not use abrasives or solvents.
- If the detector is not used for periods of longer than 60 days, remove the battery and store
