Klein Tools NCVT-2 - Manual (Page 3)

MAINTENANCE:
Battery Replacement:
• Orient the tool/tester with the pocket-clip facing you.
• Gently depress the tab, Fig. 2, until you can slide the end-cap off the main body of the tester.
• Remove the batteries using caution to prevent damage or injury to the internal components.
• Replace with two 1.5V AAA or LR03 or NEDA 24A batteries.
• Place batteries into tester with the positive terminals facing the tip, Fig. 3.
• Carefully align and slide the end-cap to the body of the tester, Fig. 4. Push the cap
until it is fully seated (denoted by a clicking sound), Fig. 4.
• Note: Hold pocket-clip on cap close to tester body while sliding cap onto tester.
• Test on known live circuit to verify tester functionality.
Cleaning Tester:
• Tester contains sensitive electronic components; do not submerse in liquid.
• Do not use alcohol, ammonia or cleaners containing solvents to clean tester.
• Gently wipe the tester with Klein Kleaners ® (CAT. # 51425 or 51426), a damp cloth or a cloth containing a mild
cleaning solution.
• Make sure the tester is completely dry prior to operation.
DISPOSAL:
• Do not throw depleted batteries away; please recycle properly.
• Do not throw tester away, please recycle properly.
• Please see www.epa.gov or www.erecycle.org for additional information.
WARRANTY
Klein electronic test and measurement devices (and accessories), manufactured and sold for commercial or industrial uses, are
warranted to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for two years from the date of purchase (unless otherwise noted
on the product packaging). THERE ARE NO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS. At its option, Klein
will repair or replace, or refund the purchase price of, any product which fails to conform to this warranty under normal use and
service. In no event shall Klein be liable for incidental or consequential damage. This warranty does not apply to batteries.
CAUTION:
• Do not attempt to repair this tester. It contains no serviceable parts.
• Do not expose the product to extremes in temperature or high humidity.
WARNINGS:
• It is important that users of this tester read, understand, and follow all warnings, cautions, safety information, and instructions
in this manual before operating or servicing this tester. Failure to follow instructions could result in death or serious injury.
• Risk of electric shock and burn. Contact with live circuits could result in death or serious injury.
• Use caution with voltages above 30V AC as a shock hazard may exist.
• A blinking or steady red glow and an audible beep indicate voltage present. If no indication, voltage could still be present.
• Before and after each use, verify operation by testing a known working circuit that is within the rating of this unit.
• Never assume neutral or ground wires are de-energized.
• The tester WILL NOT detect voltage if:
• the wire is shielded.
• the operator is not grounded or is otherwise isolated from an effective earth ground.
• the voltage is DC.
• The tester MAY NOT detect voltage if:
• the user is not holding the tester.
• the user is insulated from the tester with a glove or other materials.
• the wire is partially buried or in a grounded metal conduit.
• the tester is at a distance from the voltage source.
• the fi eld created by the voltage source is being blocked, dampened, or otherwise interfered with.
• the frequency of the voltage is not a perfect sine wave between 50 and 500Hz.
• the tester is outside of operation conditions (listed in Specifi cations section).
• Operation may be affected by differences in socket design and insulation thickness and type.
• In bright light conditions, the LED visual indicators will be less visible.
• Do not use if "power on" LED is not illuminated.
• Do not use if tester appears damaged or if the tester is not operating properly. If in doubt, replace the tester.
• Do not apply more than the rated voltage as marked on the tester (1000 volts AC).
• Detection above 12V is specifi ed under "normal" conditions as specifi ed below. The tester may detect at a different threshold
at different conditions, or may not detect at all unless:
• The tip of the tester is within 0.25" of an AC voltage source radiating unimpeded.
• The user is holding the body of the tester with his or her bare hand.
• The user is standing on or connected to earth ground.
• The air humidity is nominal (50% relative humidity).
• The tester is held still.
• Always wear approved eye protection.
• Comply with local and national safety requirements.
• If this product is used in a manner not specifi ed by the manufacturer, protection provided by the product may
be affected.
