must not be used as veriﬁcation of a de-energised circuit. This is not a safety test

lamp.

If damaged, do not use.

This instruction guide and markings on the detector provide information for

avoiding hazards and unsafe practices related to the use of this tool.

Observe all of the safety information provided.

F WARNING - ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD :

 Contact with live circuits can result in severe injury or death

 Do not use the unit if it is wet or damaged

 Do not apply more than the rated voltage between the

probe tip and earth ground

 Do not operate with the case open

 CAUTION: Do not attempt to repair this unit, it contains no

user-serviceable parts

 Do not expose the unit to extremes in temperature or

high humidity

DESCRIPTION

The Megger VF3 voltage detector is intended to check for the presence of AC

voltage, signaled by a bright red LED situated within the white nylon tip and

an audible buzzer. The VF3 has the added advantage of a bright-white LED

ﬂashlight for use in poor light.

FEATURES

 Non-contact detection of AC voltage 100 V - 600 V

AC 50 Hz/60 Hz

 Visual and audible warning of high voltage

 Durable rubber over-moulded body

 Built in bright-white LED ﬂashlight

 Low power consumption - many hours of ﬂashlight illumination

from one set of alkaline batteries

 Convenient pocket-size

The Megger VF3 is useful for identifying live conductors, ﬁnding a break in a

wire, verifying a blown fuse while in circuit, and detecting the presence of AC

voltage at

 Socket outlets

 Switches

 Circuit breakers

 Fuses

 Wires and cables

 Luminaires

GOOD PRACTICE:

Before each use the unit must be tested on a known live supply.

Place the probe tip on or near the circuit under test. The probe tip will glow

bright red and the buzzer will sound when an AC voltage between 90 V and

600 V is detected.

If the unit still fails to operate satisfactorily, return for repair.

If the unit does not function as expected , replace the batteries.

NOTE: The VF3 cannot detect voltage on armoured or sheathed cable, or on

cable in conduit, behind panels or in metallic enclosures.

FLASHLIGHT

Operate the black button alternately to turn the white LED ON and OFF.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

 Remove the unit from proximity of any live circuits

 Turn off ﬂashlight

 Remove battery cap (1) by lifting clip (2) slightly and pulling

cap (1) off body (3)

 Replace batteries, carefully observing correct type and polarity

 Replace battery cap (1)
