Observe the digital display for the voltage reading (kV) and the bar graph for polarity (Positive or Negative).
use cotton swabs, solvents, or liquids inside the sensor cavity, as this will permanently damage the delicate sensor blades. Troubleshooting Guide Probable Cause Corrective Action Meter reads high values constantly
after approximately 5 minutes of inactivity to preserve battery life. Safety & Build : The housing is made of conductive resin (ABS)
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Dead battery | Replace 9V battery. | | Erratic/Fluctuating readings | Low battery or sensor contamination | Replace battery. Ensure sensor window is clean. | | Cannot zero | Strong field present during startup | Move to a neutral area and power cycle the unit. | | Readings stuck at max | Field too strong or internal damage | Move away from the source. If issue persists, service required. |
Solution: Clean the sensor with alcohol. If the error persists, the unit requires factory repair.
