Non-Contact Voltage/Metal Detector

Congratulations on your purchase of Extech's Non-contact Metal/Voltage

Detector which locates metal studs, conduit, nails/screws, and pipes

through walls. The Detector will also check fuses, lamps, and bulbs,

verify component/battery polarity, determine HOT/LIVE/NEUTRAL wiring

configurations, check AC power, DC voltages, diodes, continuity, LEDs,

and appliance grounds. Microwave oven leakage radiation can also be

determined as well as safe viewing distances from TV, PC, or Video

terminals.

AC Voltage (non-contact) 70 to 600VAC

Microwave leakage >5mW/sq.cm

Metal Detection

a. Set the function switch (figure 1) to the "I" position.

b. To find the maximum sensitivity, turn the sensitivity knob (figure 1)

forward -where the knob's gradations are larger -until the LED and

audible tone turn off.

c. Position the metal sensor arm (fig. 1) at a convenient angle for use.

The sensor extends 90o.

d. Point the metal sensor arm toward the area where metal is to be

detected. Move the sensor arm slowly and smoothly across a surface

area, approaching from different directions.

e. An audible tone and the LED will alert the user as to the presence of

metal.

f. To narrow the sensitivity, turn the sensitivity knob backwards (to where

the knob gradations are smaller).

Hints about Metal Detection

1. It is not suitable to detect metal in walls or ceilings insulated with

metallic foil.

2. The depth to which metal can be detected is dependent upon the

object's size. The greater the object size, the greater the depth of

metal detection.

AC Voltage Detection

a. Set the function switch (figure 1) to the "II" position.

b. To find the maximum sensitivity, turn the sensitivity knob (figure 1)

forward -where the knob's gradations are larger -until the LED and

audible tone turn off.

c. Point the meter toward the area where an AC signal is to be detected.

Move the meter near the surface under test (switch, socket, plug, wire,

conduit, etc.).

e. An audible tone and the LED will alert the user as to the presence of

an AC signal.

f. To narrow the sensitivity, turn the sensitivity knob backwards (to where

the knob gradations are smaller).

AC Measurement Notes

1. Static electricity may cause false indications. Avoid meter contact with

static generating materials such as rugs, sweaters, etc.

2. The meter's sensitivity may be reduced in high humidity areas.

3. The sensitivity increases when the continuity test plate (figure 1) is

touched.

AC Wire "Break Point" Detection

a. Setup and position the meter to detect AC voltage as in the above

section "AC Voltage Detection".

b. Turn the sensitivity knob to where the knob's gradations are larger

(Max sensitivity).

c. Move the meter along the wire until the break point is located.

c. The break point is found when the audible and LED alert ceases,

indicating that AC voltage is no longer present.

Earth Ground Detection on Appliances and other Devices

a. Setup and position the meter to detect AC voltage as in the above

section "AC Voltage Detection".

b. Move the meter along the surface of the device under test with the

device's power off.

c. The audible and LED alerts will appear if the appliance or other device

is not connected to earth ground.

Verifying AC power connection in Appliances

a. Setup and position the meter to detect AC voltage as in the above

section "AC Voltage Detection".

b. Move the meter close the device under test.

c. The audible and LED alerts will appear if the power plug is inserted

incorrectly into a wall socket.

Determine suggested viewing distance from TV, Computer

Monitors, and Video Terminals

a. Setup and position the meter to detect AC voltage as in the above

section "AC Voltage Detection".

b. The suggested distance is determined by moving the meter from a

close distance to a further distance away from a TV (with TV power

ON) and listening for the audible alert tone to extinguish (the LED also

provides status indication).

c. At close proximity to the TV or other device, the meter will sound a

tone. As the meter moves away from the device it will eventually

cease the alert signal. This will be at a suggested viewing distance.

Continuity / Low Resistance Checks

Caution: Remove power to devices before checking continuity.

Any voltage present will be present at the continuity test plate!

Serious injury or death can result.

Always discharge components before performing continuity tests.

Devices such as lamps, bulbs, fuses, heating elements, coils,

transformers, inductors, etc. can be tested for continuity. The following

steps provide general instructions for testing continuity. Thereafter,

special instructions are provided for capacitors, diodes, transistors, home

appliances, etc.

General Continuity / Low Resistance Instructions for Testing

Lamps, Bulbs, and Fuses

a. Set the function select switch (figure 1) to the "0" position.

b. Set the sensitivity knob (figure 1) to the highest sensitivity setting

(where the audible tone is the loudest).

c. With one finger on continuity test plate, press the continuity test pin

(figure 1) to one side of the device under test.

d. Place other hand on opposite side of device under test. When audible

alert and LED appear, continuity is good (low resistance).

Special Continuity / Low Resistance Testing Instructions

Capacitance Low Resistance Testing

CAUTION!!

Discharge Capacitor by shorting its leads before testing!!

This procedure is basically the same as the procedure outlined in the

section "General Continuity Testing" described above except that the

audible tone and LED will appear intermittently (tone ON then OFF

periodically) when low resistance is measured.

Diode Low Resistance Testing

a. This procedure is basically the same as the procedure outlined in the

section "General Continuity Testing" described above except that the

diode should be checked in both directions (forward and reverse).

b. Audible tone and LED will appear in one direction but not in another

when a good diode is measured.

Coils, Transformers, Inductors Low Resistance Testing

a. This procedure is basically the same as the procedure outlined in the

section "General Continuity Testing" described above.

b. Audible tone and LED will appear when resistance measured is less

than 50 ohms indicating good continuity.

Transistor Low Resistance Testing

a. This procedure is basically the same as the procedure outlined in the

section "General Continuity Testing" described above.

b. For NPN transistors, the audible tone and LED appear when the

Collector (C) and Emitter (E) are measured with user's finger touching

the Base (B).

c. For PNP transistors, the audible tone and LED will appear when the

meter is touching the Base (B) and the user's finger alternately

touching the Collector (C) and Emitter (E).

d. Since a transistor's junction is the same as a diode. The audible tone

and LED status is read just as for a diode check.

Appliance plug and wiring Low Resistance Testing

a. This procedure is basically the same as the procedure outlined in the

section "General Continuity Testing" described above.

b. Refer to Fig. 3.

c. Audible tone and LED indicates low resistance (less than 50 ohms).

Battery

and DC Polarity Checks

CAUTION!! Maximum DC Voltage Testing = 36 VDC.

Do not test higher voltages,

damage to the meter and/or personal injury may result.

Polarity Check

a. Set Function Select Switch (Figure 1) to the "O" position.

b. Select highest sensitivity by turning the sensitivity knob backwards

(where the knob gradations are smaller).

c. Touch one side of battery or adaptor to continuity test pin (Figure 1).

Touch finger of one hand to other side of battery or adaptor. Touch

Continuity Test Plate with finger of other hand.

d. Audible tone and LED appear for Positive side of battery or adaptor

only.

Battery Check

a. Set Function Select Switch to the "O" position.

b. Select highest sensitivity by turning the sensitivity knob backwards

(where the knob gradations are smaller).

c. Touch one side of battery or adaptor to continuity test pin. Touch

finger of one hand to other side of battery or adaptor. Touch Continuity

Test Plate with finger of other hand.

d. If the Audible tone and LED appear for Positive side of battery, the

battery is charge. If the tone and LED appear for negative side, the

battery is weak.
