FAQ's of Metravi AC-4 Non-contact Voltage Detector:
Q: How does the Metravi AC-4 detect voltage without contact?
A: The AC-4 uses a plastic-insulated probe to sense the electric field generated by alternating current in live wires. It can identify voltage presence from 50V AC to 1000V AC without the need for physical connection, ensuring user safety during electrical inspections.
Q: What are the main benefits of using the AC-4 Non-contact Voltage Detector?
A: The AC-4 offers rapid, non-contact detection of live voltage, minimizing risk of shock. Its pocket-sized and lightweight design enables easy portability. Visual and audible indicators ensure clear identification, while the device's adjustable sensitivity helps provide accurate readings in different environments.
Q: When should I use the high or low sensitivity adjustment?
A: Utilize the high sensitivity mode when testing low-voltage sources or in situations where electrical signals are weak. Switch to low sensitivity if working around strong signals or multiple nearby wires to reduce the likelihood of false positives and enhance precision.
Q: Where is the Metravi AC-4 best suited for use?
A: The detector is ideal for use in homes, workplaces, construction sites, and industrial environments in India. It's suitable for electricians, technicians, and anyone needing to check for live wires or voltage presence in panels, outlets, and wiring systems.
Q: What is the process for using the AC-4 device?
A: Simply power the device using the supplied AAA batteries, select your desired sensitivity level, and bring the probe close to the wire or area to be tested. The LED indicator and buzzer will activate instantly upon voltage detection, signaling the presence of live current.
Q: What are the storage and operating conditions for the AC-4?
A: Store the AC-4 between -20C to 60C to ensure longevity. For operation, use it within the temperature range of -10C to 50C and humidity up to 70% RH, maintaining its reliability in varied environmental settings.
