5. Nastavení
5.1 Instalace baterie
- Ensure the detector is powered off.
- Vyhledejte kryt přihrádky na baterie, obvykle na spodní straně rukojeti.
- Odšroubujte nebo uvolněte kryt a sejměte jej.
- Insert one 9V alkaline battery, observing correct polarity (+/-).
- Nasaďte zpět kryt prostoru pro baterie a zajistěte jej.
The detector requires one 9V battery for operation, which is included with the product.
5.2 Attaching to a Hot Stick (for High Voltage Aplikace)
For detecting high voltages (1500 VAC to 122kV), the TIC 300 PRO should be securely attached to an appropriate insulated hot stick.
- Ensure the hot stick is clean, dry, and rated for the voltage levels being tested.
- Align the hot stick adapter at the base of the detector's handle with the universal spline adapter on the hot stick.
- Securely attach the detector to the hot stick according to the hot stick manufacturer's instructions. Ensure a firm connection to prevent accidental detachment during use.
6. Návod k obsluze
6.1 Zapnutí a autotest
- Stiskněte tlačítko ON/OFF tlačítko pro zapnutí detektoru.
- Immediately after powering on, press the TEST button. The detector should emit an audible beep and the LED indicators should flash, confirming proper operation. If this does not occur, replace the battery or do not use the device.
- Perform the self-test before and after each use to ensure reliability.
6.2 Selecting Voltage Dosah
- Stiskněte tlačítko NÍZKÝ button for detecting voltages between 30 VAC and 1500 VAC. This range is suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial panels, outlets, and wiring.
- Stiskněte tlačítko VYSOKÝ button for detecting voltages between 1500 VAC and 122kV. This range is used for transmission lines, power distribution equipment, and other high voltage aplikací.
- Always select the appropriate range for the expected voltage.
6.3 Detecting AC Voltage
- After powering on and performing the self-test, select the appropriate voltage range (LOW or HIGH).
- Carefully approach the conductor or equipment to be tested with the voltage sensing tip.
- Position the tip near the conductor. If AC voltage is present, the detector will emit an audible beep and the LED indicators will flash. The intensity of the indication may vary with voltagsíla a blízkost.
- Maintain a safe distance from energized parts. The non-contact design allows for detection without physical contact.
6.4 Vypnutí
Stiskněte a podržte ON/OFF button until the detector powers off. It is recommended to power off the device when not in use to conserve battery life.
7. Údržba
- Čištění: Otřete detektor reklamouamp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the device is completely dry before storage or next use.
- Výměna baterie: Replace the 9V battery when the low battery indicator appears or if the self-test fails. Always use a fresh alkaline battery.
- Skladování: Store the detector in its protective carrying case in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Remove the battery if storing for extended periods to prevent leakage.
- Inspekce: Pravidelně kontrolujte detektor, zda nevykazuje známky poškození, například praskliny vasing or frayed wiring. Do not use a damaged device.
8. Řešení problémů
| Problém | Možná příčina | Řešení |
|---|---|---|
| Detektor se nezapne. | Vybitá nebo nesprávně nainstalovaná baterie. | Vyměňte 9V baterii a dbejte na správnou polaritu. |
