Read First: Safety Information
To avoid possible electric shock or person injury:
Before each use, verify operation by testing a known working circuit that is within the rating
of this unit. Steady red glow (not flash) indicates voltage present. If no indication, voltage
could still be present. Do not rely on this tester with shielded wire. Operation may be
affected by differences in socket design and insulation thickness and type. If this product is
used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, protection provided by the product
may be affected.
LIMITED WARRANTY: This product is warranted to be free from defects in material and
workmanship under normal use for two years from date of purchase. Warranty does not
apply to batteries. Contact Fluke at www.fluke.com.
T - Double Insulated.
W Risk of danger. Important information. See Manual.

Complies with UL61010, CSA C22.2 No. 1010-1
Operating: 90 V ac to 1000 V ac (A1/A2), 200 V to 1000 V ac (E1/E2/P1), 20 V to 90 V ac (LAC)
Temperature: -10 to 50 C
Altitude: 3000 m
Operating Instructions
Turning the Unit On
Momentarily press the green button. Listen for a double beep to confirm activation of the
unit. A continual VoltBeat flash visually indicates the unit is active
Turning the Unit Off
Press and hold the green button for more than half a second. Listen for a long half-second
beep to confirm deactivation of the unit. The absence of the VoltBeat flash indicates the
unit is inactive
VoltBeat (System Self Test)
VoltBeat is a self-test feature for visually confirming battery and system integrity, and
power-on. It provides a double flash every 2 seconds during normal operation.
Checking for the Presence of AC Voltage
Placing the tip of the unit near an AC voltage produces a steady glow at the tip and (if
enabled) a continual beep.
Auto Power Off
After about 5 minutes of non-use, the unit automatically performs a power off to save
batteries. A double beep followed by a longer single beep provides an audible indication of
the event. The absence of the VoltBeat flash serves as a visual power-off indication.
Disabling the Audible Beeper
Disable the beeper by holding the green button down for more than 2 seconds during
power up. To enable the beeper again, turn the unit off, and then turn it on.
Low Battery Indication
When the battery voltage drops below 2 volts VoltBeat provides a visual indication by
stopping the VoltBeat flash. Replace with 2 AAA (LR3) batteries.

Anyone using this instrument should be knowledgeable
and trained about the risks involved with measuring
voltage, especially in an industrial setting, and the
importance of taking safety precautions and of testing the
instrument before and after using it to ensure that it is in
good working condition.
Do not use if VoltBeat is not flashing.
Do not use if Tester appears damaged or if the Tester is not operating properly.
If in doubt, have the Tester serviced.
Do not apply more that the rated voltage as marked on the Tester.
Use caution with voltages above 30 V ac as a shock hazard may exist.
Comply with local and national safety requirements.
Use proper protective equipment as required by local or national authorities.
