Operating Features; Low Battery Indication - Ideal 61-657 Manual De Instrucciones

Operating Features

Dual Voltage Range Sensing
The 61-657 is capable of sensing 2 different voltage ranges 50 to 1000V AC or
12 to 1000V AC. The low range setting allows the tester to be used to sense the
low voltages (12 to 50V AC) associated with doorbells, thermostats, irrigation
wiring, etc. The low range setting also allows sensing of standard voltage in
tamper-resistant outlets when the tip is located near the Hot receptacle and/or
Hot Connection point on the outlet. (See Tester Operation – Dual Voltage Range
Sensing, for more information)
Audible Notification Disable
The tester can be operated with a visual only indication of voltage when working in
noise sensitive/noise restricted areas. With the tester On, press the Speaker button
for less than 1s. The tester will beep once to indicate the audible warning is muted
and only a visual indication will be provided. To restore the audible warning, press
the speaker button for less than 1s. The tester will beep twice to indicate the audible
warning is active and both a visual and audible indication will be provided. The
tester is set to Audible Notification On as the default setting.
Flashlight
An LED Flashlight in the tip operates independently of the tester functions and can
be used to illuminate the work area. Press the Flashlight Button to turn it On/Off.
The tester is set to Flashlight Off. The Flashlight will Auto Power Off after 5 minutes
of no voltage detection. Further voltage detection will reset the APO function to 5
minutes again.
Note: Use of the flashlight will decrease battery life.
Auto Power Off
After 10 minutes of inactivity (no button pressed and no signals detected), the
tester will emit one long beep (~0.5s) and then shut off. Note: if the flashlight is on,
it will be also shut off.

Low Battery Indication

If battery voltage is less than around 2.4V, the green led in the tip will flash 3 times
and the buzzer will send out one long beep, then turn off the device.
