- Tanqueu bé la tapa del compartiment de la bateria.
The device will automatically power on when batteries are correctly installed. A green LED may illuminate to indicate readiness.
6. Instruccions de funcionament
6.1 Encès/Apagat
The VT-2 typically powers on automatically when batteries are inserted. Some models may have a power button. Refer to the device markings for specific power controls.
6.2 Vol. sense contactetage Detecció
Per detectar el volum de CAtage:
- Ensure the device is powered on and functioning (test on a known live source first).
- Mantingueu el voltage indicator by its body and bring the detection tip close to the conductor, outlet, or circuit you wish to test.
- Si AC voltage is present within the 90-1000V range, the device will provide both visual and audible indications. The tip will glow red, and an audible buzzer will sound.
- The intensity of the visual and audible signals may vary with voltage força i proximitat.
