IDEAL Vol-Con Xl Voltage/Continuity Tester Questions & Answers
Usage Repair
the current reading on a tester is independent of the battery in the tester. The battery is there to provide a tiny amount of current so you can read the resistance on a circuit in ohms.
What probably happened is that the useage selector switch was in the wrong position when a measurement was made for voltage of other and being in the current position created a short and the current measurement circuit was burned out.
for more details, please follow up with questions/comments

What does it mean when I test and get a clear signal and then it fades to nothing?
Hi - First, make sure the battery in the tester is good. If unsure of the batteries charge state, replace them (requires {4} IDEAL# 61-201,IEC #LR44, or NEOA# 1166A) before continuing.
What you're describing sounds an awful lot like a testing of a capacitor. If you were to connect an analog ohm meter to a capacitor, the needle would indicate a very low resistance value and gradually swing to a very high resistance value. it would not take more than a few seconds to go from low to high indication. Use of a digital meter wouldn't show this very well, as the resistance value is constantly changing - rendering an actual numeric value impossible to display.Once the resistance value has reached the high value on the meter, swap the polarity of the leads, and it should read low again - and climb to the high value once more. This will happen each time the leads are reversed.You can view the manual
here.I hope this helps & good luck!
How do u change the
there is a small clip at the back push both side in at ounce and the back will come away
best of luck

When we measure from hot to neutral we get between 40 & 50 Volts
this is "phantom voltage." To be sure of this you can try shorting the hot with the ground. Should not short. The voltage isn't dangerous. It often happens when two hot wires are in the same cable. For example a 12/3 romex with a shared neutral. When one hot wire is turned off and the other is still energized, voltage can leak from one wire to the other, causing a reading of 50 or so volts on the non powered wire.

Will one of the newer sensors work in place of my 1457 sensor?
It's possible that one of the newer sensors could work in place of your 1457 sensor, but it depends on the specifications of the newer sensors and the compatibility with your base unit. The I MAX1457 sensor, which is a highly integrated analog-sensor signal processor optimized for piezoresistive sensor calibration and compensation. However, I have no information about its compatibility. If you're looking for a replacement sensor, I suggest contacting the manufacturer of your base unit to inquire about compatible sensors. Alternatively, you can check the user manual of your base unit to see if it lists compatible sensors. Garage door opener sensors are not universal. Safety sensors can only communicate with garage door openers from the same brand.
How can I adjust the time on my weather station model #sgr72914?
- Access the Time Setting Mode:
- Locate the 'Set' or 'Settings' button on your weather station. This button is typically found on the front or the back of the unit.
- Press and hold the 'Set' or 'Settings' button for about 3 to 5 seconds. This action should access the time setting mode, where you can adjust the time.
- Adjust Hour and Minutes:
- Once in the time setting mode, use the 'Up' or '+' button to increase the hours and the 'Down' or '-' button to decrease the hours.
- After setting the correct hour, press the 'Set' or 'Settings' button again to move to the minutes setting.
- Use the 'Up' or '+' and 'Down' or '-' buttons to adjust the minutes accordingly.
- Confirm the Time:
- Once you have set the correct time, press the 'Set' or 'Settings' button again to confirm and exit the time setting mode.
- Check the Time Display:
- After setting the time, check the display to ensure that the time is displayed correctly.
