Battery check
When the instrument is activated by voltage detection, the
red light will flash quickly five times if the batteries need
changing.
The batteries can be changed by unscrewing the battery cap
at the opposite end to the test tip. Then the battery holder
can be pulled out of the instrument. Change the batteries,
reinsert the battery holder and screw the battery cap back
on. Please be careful not to damage the two metallic contact
buttons when removing the battery holder from the
instrument.
If the instrument is not to be used for an extended period of
time, the batteries should be removed to prevent battery
leakage inside the instrument.
Function test
The instrument is equipped with an automatic function test
which is activated each time the button is pressed. If the
Morse code for 'SOS' sounds (three short, three long, three
short), then a malfunction has been detected. The function
test also includes the input from the test tip. This malfunction
can be temporary or permanent, e.g. if the instrument has
been penetrated by moisture to the electronics. In this case
the instrument will no longer be functional. The alarm signal
can also occur if the button is pushed while the instrument is
activated by an electric field. This is not a malfunction, and
can be resolved by removing the instrument from the voltage
source, and pushing the button once more. If the alarm
signal is not sounded this time, the instrument is functional.
Notice
Circular cables often contain twisted wires. Move the Volt
Stick Bright along the cable to ensure that the phase
conductor gets close to the test tip. A Fuse test in a 3 phase
system can only be performed if machines and other
appliances alike are turned off. If not turned off, the voltage
can be carried to the blown fuse from the backside, making
troubleshooting impossible. Some rubber cable insulation
contains a lot of carbon, making voltage detection
impossible. Voltage detection is not possible on shielded or
