FLUKE LVD2 Non-Contact Voltage Tester

Safety Information

Safety Information

To prevent possible electric shock, fire, or personal injury:

• Use the Product only as specified, or the protection supplied by the Product
  can be compromised.
• Do not rely on the Product to detect the presence or absence of voltage on a conductor for safety purposes. A single pole non-contact voltage detector such as this Product is not suitable to determine if a circuit is hazardous. A volt meter or 2-pole voltage detector is necessary to confirm the absence of hazardous voltage prior to commencing work.
• Do not use if the flashlight does not operate.
• Detect a known voltage first to make sure that the Product operates correctly.
• When using the Product if the tip does not glow, voltage could still be present.
• The Product indicates active voltage in the presence of electric fields of sufficient strength generated from the source (MAINS) voltage. If the field strength is low, the Product may not provide an indication of live voltages. Lack of an indication occurs if the Product is unable to sense the presence of voltage which may be influenced by several factors including, but not limited to:
  • Shielded wire/cables
  • Thickness and type of insulation
  • Distance from the voltage source
  • Fully-isolated users that prevent an effective ground
  • Receptacles in recessed sockets/differences in socket design
  • Condition of the Product and Batteries
• Disable the Product if it is damaged.
• Do not use the Product if it is damaged.
• Use Product with arrow visible.
• Hold the Product behind the tactile barrier.
• Do not use for dc voltage detection or around voltages exceeding 600 volts, or in the presence of variable motor drives.
• Use caution with voltages above 30 V ac as a shock hazard may exist.
• Do not stare or look directly at the LED flashlight. The light is extremely bright.
• Comply with local and national safety codes. Use personal protective equipment (approved rubber gloves, face protection, and flame-resistant clothes) to prevent shock and arc blast injury where hazardous live conductors are exposed.
• Batteries contain hazardous chemicals that can cause burns or explode. If exposure to chemicals occurs, clean with water and get medical aid.
• Remove the batteries if the Product is not used for an extended period of time, or if stored in temperatures above 50 °C. If the batteries are not removed, battery leakage can damage the Product.
• Carefully read all instructions.
• Read all safety information before you use the Product.
