Tolsen Non-Contact AC Voltage Detector (Model: 38110) - Instruction Manual
Your guide to safe and effective voltage opsporing.
1. Inleiding
This manual provides detailed instructions for the safe operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of your Tolsen Non-Contact AC Voltage Detector, Model 38110. Please read this manual thoroughly before using the device to ensure proper function and safety.
Produk verbyview
The Tolsen 38110 is a CE certified non-contact AC voltage detector designed for quick and safe identification of live AC voltage. It is manufactured according to CAT III (1000V) safety standards, making it suitable for a wide range of electrical applications. The device features a standard AC voltage detection range of 12V to 1000V at a frequency of 50-60Hz.
Sleutel kenmerke sluit in:
- Audible and visual alarm modes (sound and light flash).
- Integrated white LED probe light for illumination in dark areas.
- Outomatiese afskakelfunksie om batterylewe te bespaar.
- Lae battery aanwyser.
- Kontakloos Voltage (NCV) sensing with automatic selection of 3 sensitivity levels (high, medium, and low).
- Three types of frequency, sound, and LED alarm indications.
2. Veiligheidsinligting
Always adhere to local safety regulations and guidelines when working with electrical systems. This device is designed to assist in detecting AC voltage, but it should not be used as the sole method for determining the presence of voltage. Always verify with a known live source before testing and a known de-energized source after testing.
- WAARSKUWING: Risk of electric shock. Do not use if the device appears damaged or is not functioning correctly.
- Moenie probeer om voltage beyond the specified range (1000V AC).
- Ensure batteries are correctly installed and replaced when the low battery indicator appears.
- Hou die toestel droog en skoon.
- This device is for non-contact detection only. Do not touch live conductors with the probe tip.

- Sondewenk: Bespeur AC voltage sonder kontak.
- LED-aanwysers: Visual indication of voltage presence and sensitivity level.
- Kragknoppie: Skakel die toestel AAN/AF.
- Flitslig-knoppie: Activates/deactivates the white LED probe light.
- Battery kompartement: Located at the bottom, for 2x AAA batteries.
4. Opstelling en batteryinstallasie
Battery installasie
- Twist and pull off the battery cap at the bottom of the detector.
- Plaas twee (2) 1.5V AAA-batterye in en maak seker dat die polariteit (+/-) korrek is.
- Replace the battery cap, twisting it securely until it clicks into place.
The device will automatically perform a self-test upon power-on. If the low battery indicator illuminates, replace the batteries immediately for accurate readings.
5. Bedryfsinstruksies
Skakel aan/af
- Druk die Kragknoppie (usually marked with 'I' or a power symbol) to turn the detector ON.
- The device will emit a short beep and the LED indicators will flash briefly.
- To turn OFF, press and hold the Kragknoppie until the device powers down, or it will automatically shut off after a period of inactivity.
Die gebruik van die flitslig
- Druk die Flitslig-knoppie (usually marked with a light bulb symbol) to turn the white LED probe light ON.
- Press the button again to turn the flashlight OFF.
Kontakloos Voltage (NCV) Opsporing
- Ensure the detector is powered ON.
- Place the probe tip near the wire, outlet, or electrical component you wish to test.
- The detector will automatically select the appropriate sensitivity level (High, Medium, or Low) based on the detected voltage sterkte.
- As AC voltage is detected, the device will emit an audible beep and the LED indicators will flash. The frequency of the beeps and flashes will increase with higher voltage or closer proximity to the source.
- The LED indicators will also show the detected voltage vlak:
- Laag: Indicates a weaker signal or lower voltage.
- Medium: Indicates a moderate signal or voltage.
- Hoog: Indicates a strong signal or higher voltage.
Always test the detector on a known live circuit before and after use to confirm its proper operation.

7. Onderhoud
Skoonmaak
Wipe the device with a dry, clean cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure no moisture enters the device.
Battery vervanging
When the low battery indicator illuminates, replace the batteries as described in the "Setup and Battery Installation" section. Remove batteries if the device will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.
Berging
Bêre die detektor op 'n koel, droë plek, weg van direkte sonlig en uiterste temperature.
8. Probleemoplossing
| Probleem | Moontlike oorsaak | Oplossing |
|---|---|---|
| Toestel skakel nie aan nie. | Dooie of verkeerd geïnstalleerde batterye. | Vervang batterye en maak seker dat die polariteit korrek is. |
| No detection when voltage teenwoordig is. | Low battery; device too far from source; interference. | Replace batteries; move closer to the source; test in a less noisy electrical environment. |
| False positives (detects voltage when none is present). | Strong electromagnetic fields nearby; static electricity. | Move away from strong fields; ensure proper grounding of the circuit being tested. |
| Flitslig werk nie. | Low battery; faulty LED. | Replace batteries. If issue persists, contact customer support. |
