Introduction
The Southwire 40110N detects AC voltage from 100V to
1000V. A LED flashlight is built-in for added convenience.
With proper use, it will provide many years of reliable service.
WARNINGS
• If the tester is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer,
the safety features provided by the tester may be affected.
• Check on a known live source within the rated AC voltage range
of the tester before use to ensure it is in working order.
• Insulation type and thickness, distance from the voltage source,
shielded wires, and other factors may effect reliable operation.
Use other methods to verify live voltage, if there is any
uncertainty.
• Do not use if the tester appears damaged or if it is not operating
properly. If in doubt, replace the tester.
• Do not use on voltages that are higher than as marked on the
tester.
• Use caution with voltages above 30 volts AC as a shock hazard
may exist.
• Comply with local and national safety requirements - particularly
with regard to arc-flash potential.
• Use approved personal protective equipment when working on
live circuits.

Maintenance
1. KEEP THE TESTER DRY. If it gets wet, wipe it off.
2. USE AND STORE THE TESTER IN NORMAL TEMPERATURES. Temperature extremes
can shorten the life of the electronic parts and distort or melt plastic parts.
3. HANDLE THE TESTER GENTLY AND CAREFULLY. Dropping it can damage the
electronic parts or the case.
4. KEEP THE TESTER CLEAN. Wipe the case occasionally with a damp cloth.
DO NOT use chemicals, cleaning solvents, or detergents.
5. USE ONLY FRESH BATTERIES OF THE RECOMMENDED SIZE AND TYPE.
Remove old or weak batteries so they do not leak and damage the unit.

Operation
Checking for live AC voltage (100V to 1000V)
1. Prior to use, test on a known live circuit to verify tester is functioning.
Place the tip of the sensor near an AC voltage source. If the tester detects
voltage within the defined detection range, the red light will turn on with
a steady glow and the beeper will produce a continuous tone.
NOTES:
• The tester is always active and ready to use, providing the batteries
are installed and in good condition.
• The detector is designed for high sensitivity. Static electricity may momentarily
activate the sensor. This is normal operation.
2. Flashlight - Press and hold the button with the
flashlight. Release the button to turn off the flashlight.
