5. Impostazione
5.1 Installazione della batteria
- Ensure the detector is powered off.
- Locate the battery compartment cover, typically at the base of the handle.
- Svitare o sbloccare il coperchio e rimuoverlo.
- Insert one 9V alkaline battery, observing correct polarity (+/-).
- Riposizionare il coperchio del vano batteria e fissarlo.
The detector requires one 9V battery for operation, which is included with the product.
5.2 Attaching to a Hot Stick (for High Voltage Applicazioni)
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 voltaglivelli e in fase di test.
- 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. Istruzioni per l'uso
6.1 Powering On and Self-Test
- Premere il tasto ACCESO/SPENTO button to power on the detector.
- 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 Gamma
- Premere il tasto BASSO button for detecting voltages between 30 VAC and 1500 VAC. This range is suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial panels, outlets, and wiring.
- Premere il tasto ALTO button for detecting voltages between 1500 VAC and 122kV. This range is used for transmission lines, power distribution equipment, and other high voltage applicazioni.
- 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 voltage strength and proximity.
- Maintain a safe distance from energized parts. The non-contact design allows for detection without physical contact.
6.4 Spegnimento
Premere e tenere premuto il tasto ACCESO/SPENTO button until the detector powers off. It is recommended to power off the device when not in use to conserve battery life.
7. Manutenzione
- Pulizia: Pulisci il rilevatore con un annuncioamp panno e detergente delicato. Non utilizzare detergenti abrasivi o solventi. Assicurarsi che il dispositivo sia completamente asciutto prima di riporlo o di utilizzarlo nuovamente.
- Sostituzione della batteria: Replace the 9V battery when the low battery indicator appears or if the self-test fails. Always use a fresh alkaline battery.
- Magazzinaggio: 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.
- Ispezione: Regularly inspect the detector for any signs of damage, such as cracks in the casing or frayed wiring. Do not use a damaged device.
8. Risoluzione Dei Problemi
| Problema | Possibile causa | Soluzione |
|---|---|---|
| Il rilevatore non si accende. | Batteria scarica o installata in modo non corretto. | Sostituire la batteria da 9 V, assicurandosi della corretta polarità. |
| Self-test fails (no beep/LED flash). | Batteria scarica o guasto interno. | Replace battery. If issue persists, discontinue use and contact support. |
| No indication when near known live circuit. | Vol non correttotage range selected, detector too far from source, or internal fault. | Ensure correct LOW/HIGH range is selected. Move closer to the conductor. Perform self-test. If issue persists, discontinue use. |
| Intermittent or weak indication. | Low battery, environmental interference, or weak field. | Replace battery. Be aware of environmental factors (e.g., humidity, static). Ensure proper proximity. |
