PRECAUTIONS & WARNINGS
Safety Information
v CAUTION!
This tester should only be used by qualified personnel.
Always use appropriate Safety attire and equipment.
If the unit is dropped, damaged or for any reason you suspect its op-
eration, test it on a known AC source or energized fluorescent lamp
before making ANY high voltage tests.
v WARNING!
3 Phase feeder cables with conductors close together may self-cancel
the electric field and not be detected by your TIC Tracer.
Verify the phase conductors are separated by at least 5” (13cm) be-
fore testing for AC voltage.
When approaching an unknown high voltage, always start with the
unit switched to the Low range. Then approach the voltage from a
safe distance.
v TIC 300HV
When approaching an unknown high voltage, always start with the
unit switched to the Low range. Then approach the voltage from a
safe distance.
For 3 phase voltages above 1500 V, the sensor will not be able to
detect a missing phase if the switch is set on the LOW range. Use the
HIGH range.
Do not let the unit make contact with a live line with voltage greater
than 20 kV.
Use a “Hot Stick” at all times on voltages above 1500VAC.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Before operating, the 9V battery must be installed as described in the
Maintenance section.
Voltage Detection
1. Turn unit on by sliding the power switch down to the ON
position. TIC 300HV- Slide the switch down to the LOW
position
