Product Description
This "Proximity" (Various Ranges) allows you to detect electricity without breaking into power lines. The Proximity tester has a Beeper effect, the closer it comes to live electrical lines, the louder the signal of the beeper become. You don't have to assume the unnecessary risk of touching live electrical wires when using this Tic Tracer. The Proximity Voltage detector is adaptable to Hot Sticks. The Proximity Detector comes standard with two different Ranges: High Voltage Range: 1500 - 122,000 Volts and Low Voltage Range: 30 - 1500 Volts. Use the Proximity Detector to Safely check on power tools. Check if power tools are properly grounded. Also test whether AC power is connected to outlets, lamps, switches. Check fuse panels. Find breaks in insulated wire. Identify which conductor is power or ground. Sense the presence of AC voltage, from 30 to 122,000VAC
Tic Tracer 300HV Features

* Use only with Hot Stick and proper safety equipment.
NOTE: Battery Compartment is located in the back
Tic Tracer - Voltage Proximity Tester Operating Instructions
Before operating, the 9V battery must be installed as described in the Maintenance section.
Voltage Detection
1. Turn unit on by sliding the power switch down to the ON postition. Tic Tracer 300hv - Slide the switch down to the LOW position to begin.
2. Approximately once per second "beep" will be heard, indicating the unit is on and operating. Tic Tracer 300hv - The LED visual indicator will flash in concert with the "beep" rate.
3. Approach a flourescent lamp, or known AC conductor, to ensure the tool is working properly.
4. Place the tip of the probe on or near the circuit to be tested. If voltage is present, the "beep" rate will increase to a rapid beep or siren.
The slower the beep rate, the lower the voltage. If no increase in "beep" rate is heard, AC voltage is not present.
Tic Tracer 300hv - When probing for voltage higher than 1500 VAC, use proper safety equipment and, after determining the existence of voltage in the Low range, switch to the High range.
Tic Tracer 300hv High Voltage Applications
With the unit switched in the High range the instrument will detect voltages above 1500. Always use a Hot Stick in these applications.
Loadbreak Connectors: Check for power at high voltage transformers at elbow test point.
Transmission Lines: Determine which conductor carries power and if ground cables carry high static charge.
TV High Voltage: Check picture tube and HV transformer.
Tic Tracer Maintenance
No normal maintenance apart from battery replacement is necessary with your Tic Tracer.
Replace the battery when no signal is heard when the instrument is switched ON.
Battery Replacement
- 1. Slide the small latch on the top of the battery compartment downward.
- 2. Tilt out and remove the battery cover.
- 3. If applicable, disconnect old battery from the connector.
- 4. Connect a new, and/or tested, 9V battery to the connector, and replace in compartment.
- 5. Replace cover and move latch upwards to secure.
