Safety Warnings and Cautions:
The FOX 2 is designed to tolerate momentary unintentional
application of 120VAC to all of its external connections. A
warning beeper sounds when 120VAC is accidentally applied.
The FOX 2 is not designed to be used as a 120VAC detec-
tor. Although the FOX 2 will tolerate 120VAC without dam-
age, a shock hazard is present. The user may be injured
by electrical shock. The circuitry in the FOX 2 is designed
to reduce the possibility of damage to the product, not to
guarantee that the user will not be injured.
1) Do not use the FOX 2 as a 120VAC voltage detector.
2) The 120VAC warning beeper will not sound if the battery
is dead. Do not rely on the beeper to indicate the
presence of dangerous voltages.
3) The 120VAC protection circuit in the FOX 2 uses a light
bulb, whose glow can sometimes, but not always, be seen
thru the FOX 2’s case. Do not rely on this visual indication
to determine the presence of dangerous voltages.
4) The FOX 2 is not designed to tolerate accidental applica-
tion of voltages exceeding 132VAC 60Hz. Applying higher
voltages may cause damage to the FOX 2, and may injure
the user.
5) The FOX 2 is not designed to indicate any degree of preci-
sion in the accidentally applied voltage. That is, when the
warning beeper sounds, this does not mean that exactly
120VAC is present. The warning beeper will sound for
voltage from approximately 80VAC to 132VAC.
