❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Does the Megger VF5 detect DC voltage?
A. No. The VF5 is designed to detect AC voltage at 50/60Hz.
Q2: Does it display the exact voltage?
A. No. It indicates the presence of AC voltage using light, sound and vibration. It does not provide a numerical voltage reading.
Q3: Can the VF5 confirm that a circuit is dead?
A. No. The VF5 must not be used to verify that a circuit is de-energised. An absence of alerts does not establish that the circuit is safe.
Q4: Can it detect voltage through armoured cable?
A. Megger states that the VF5 cannot detect voltage on armoured or sheathed cables, cables in conduit, or cables behind panels or within metallic enclosures.
Q5: Can I switch off the sound and vibration?
A. Yes. The audible sounder and vibration can be disabled together, leaving the visual indication available.
