Super Tester Voltage Detector • Dual Range • Audible & Visible Indicators Features & Applications • Lights blink and alarm sounds when placed in electrostatic field above trigger threshold • Five flashing red lights alert the operator

• High-pitched tones also signal nearby personnel of present voltage that could be dangerous when applying temporary grounds or performing maintenance • Can be used to check overhead lines, in substations and around switchgear • Simply slips over the head of a standard 1-1⁄4"-diameter disconnect stick • May be used on a CHANCE Grip-All clampstick, universal, telescoping or positive-grip hot line stick fitted with a special adapter (see table below) Design Features • Handy three-way switch permits selection of either the 1 - 100 kV or the 100 - 800 kV range for circuit being tested • Turns off unit to save the battery when not in use • 9-Volt alkaline battery readily installs by removing two knurl-head screws and sliding off the instrument cover • Test button checks both the battery and the tester • Depressing button activates signal circuits, sounding the tone and lighting the alarm lamps if the battery is good and unit operable • Comes with instructions packed in lined, reinforced case with carrying handle Operation • Turn on tester with selector switch for voltage range required • Check battery and unit by pushing “Test” button • If tone volume is not clear or indicator lights are not bright, replace battery and recheck • Mount tester on proper hot line tool • For maximum-strength signals, place the tester within following minimum proximity to the circuit being tested Phase-to-Phase versus Response Distance kV (1 - 100kV Range) (100 - 800kV Range) Distance - inches Distance - inches

WARNING: Instrument damaged by touching 33kV or higher. Note: Super Tester will not detect any voltage on cable with metallic sheath or semiconductive coating. Super Tester does not discriminate between induced and line voltage types. Device signals in the presence of either and the operator must determine which type before following utility safety working practices for engaging energized conductors.

M445598 Adapter fits into Super Tester either way so you can use it on a Grip-All clampstick or on a splined fitting of Univer sal, Telescoping or Positive-Grip hot line sticks.
