Fluke LVD1A Non Contact Voltage Detector, 40V ac to 300V ac

LED flashlight and non-contact voltage detector combined, Fluke presents the neat and compact Volt Light. When AC voltage has been detected the tester will glow blue, when the source has been detected the tester will glow red. Detected voltage and blue glow is based on voltages from 40 V AC to 300 V AC, 1 - 5" away from the source. Also featured is an ultra-bright white LED which produces up to 100,000 hours of bulb life for those darker environments, and a versatile clip for securing light to a wide variety of items such as hats, panels or pockets.

• Blue indicator when close
• Red indicator when source located
• 0 °C → +50 °C operating temperature
• Versatile clip and design
• Ultra-bright LED light
• 1 x AAA battery included

What is a non-contact voltage tester used for?
Voltage testers or detectors are used to check the flow of current through a circuit. They can be used to check safety, or to ensure equipment is functioning correctly. They can also test for the current strength, whether the circuit is grounded correctly or to ensure no current is flowing at all so that work can be begin on the circuit.

How do non-contact voltage testers work?
Also known as a voltage detector, voltage tester pens, sensors or test pens. They allow the user to test electrical conductors without touching them. Non-contact testers are the safest and easiest way to detect electric fields or voltage. Voltage testers utilise what is called capacitive coupling, the user holding the instrument provides a ground reference. The tester then detects changing electric field around the object or objects conducting an AC current. (Alternating current) Simply put, the user and the tester pen when near the electrical conductor will cause a small current to flow through the tester from the source, this is how it detects AC voltage.

Shine a light on your circuit's power levels with this non-contact voltage detector from FLUKE. Made up of an LED flashlight and sensing tip, it lets you carry out measurements in dark settings so you can pinpoint the exact spot to test. Thanks to its dual-sensitive function, the unit glows blue when it reads an AC voltage and red when it senses the power source. An operating temperature range between 0°C to +50°C means you can rely on this durable unit even when situations get heated.

• LED bulb life of 100,000 hours for long-lasting performance
• Integrated power button for convenient configuration
• Built-in clip for easy attachment to machinery

• Telecommunications networks
• Automotive engineering
• Energy industry
• Consumer electronics

This detector can sense voltages ranging from 40 to 300V AC, making it a reliable measurement tool for your low-power and high-power systems.

As the blue LED of this detector glows from distances of 2.5 to 38cm from the power source, there's no need for direct contact with live wires. This reduces the risk of electric hazards.
