Santronics AC-EZ AC Voltage Sensor

5.0

As an Occupational Safety and Health Specialist, I used and tested many brands of AC Sensors over the years. I found the Santronics AC-EZ AC Voltage Sensor to be the most reliable and simplest to use. I gave one to both Ben and Eddie of "Geiger Heating and Air" (Gulfport MS) in August of 2020 when they installed a new AC Unit at my residence. I recently bought 5 more to give to my sons and grandsons. The high level of reliability, simplicity and compact size are factors that "Encourage" use of the Santronics AC-EZ AC Voltage Sensor to work safely with or around AC Voltage.

Had one for 15 years, and prefer this over many of the new ones as you can pick out the hot wire with fairly tight proximity to other wires, great for troubleshooting. Many of the others go off within 5 inches of a hot wire. Great if that's what your checking for, but useless for troubleshooting.

1.0

I received this as a free gift for purchasing some equipment. That being said, I now have to feel guilty about throwing it in the garbage even though it didn't cost me anything. Just for kicks, I tried it on an outlet and it worked as a non-contact voltage detector but I felt uneasy about the fact that I could shake the unit and make the light flash. I don't trust it, so into the "round organizer" it goes.

The two Fluke 2AC non-contact voltage detectors that we received previously as free gifts from TEquipment are more reliable and those did not find there way into the trash can.

Thank you those but no thank you for the Santronics one.

Tequipment response: Thanks for the review. A few things to note. Hitting the unit and having it light up is a safety feature to check the battery. This brand used to make this same model for Fluke called the 1ac. Fluke has since made their own 2ac pen with a few different features.

AC Sensor: A Handy and Essential Safety Tool

5.0

This pen-sized AC voltage sensor, rated at Cat IV 50-1000VAC, is manufactured as Model 3115 in the USA by Santronics, and is powered by two AA batteries. It has a red LED within the tip of the device that illuminates when it is placed in the proximity of an active AC circuit; i.e., no physical contact is necessary for detection of AC voltage and that is the point. It works very well and requires no special skill to operate. For this reason, it is an essential tool for every electronics troubleshooter or electrician seeking to avoid a nasty surprise. Highly recommended!

Good AC Detector

4.0

I received a model #3115 as a free gift when I purchased my new oscilloscope. This is a good device for detecting live AC lines. It is a small easy to use and understand AC detector that doesn’t require two bare wires to make a reading.
I already have a Greenlee Voltage detector #1110, which performs the same function. Although both units work as advertised, the Greenlee has some features and performance that is superior to the #3115.
The Greenlee has a beeper, so that’s an immediate improvement. The Greenlee also seems a little less prone to false positives, perhaps it has better noise immunity. In a side by side comparison, the Greenlee’s sensitivity seems on par with the #3115.
The #3115 is a good device and a potential life saver as far as AC electrical work. The Green Lee has an audible alert, but at the end of the day, both work and perform their functions as advertised.

Santronics is one of the best AC Voltage Sensors. It is sensing the Electrical Field. That is if through the wire you don't have a current, but is under high voltage potential - you will get a signal that a wire is "hot". The magnetic sensors show only if you have current.

Rave toy?

This unit lights up when just touched, bumped or looked at directly... It reminds me of toys I used to swing in the air at Rave parties in my early twenties. Since it goes off in the absence of AC voltage within yards of the unit (and probably further if I cared enough to test it) I would never trust my safety to it... ever. It got two stars only for reminding me of younger days...

Feels cheap. The battery cap screws in and doesn't seem like it will last long. The unit claims to be sensitive but you have to stick the unit into the outlet before it indicates there is ac voltage. Just running it outside the outlet will not be enough and that could be dangerous.

The cheap ac voltage detectors I bought from Walmart years ago does a much better job. I don't even need to touch the outlet before it indicates voltage. It can even indicate voltage on light switches by touching the cover. The walmart one also give you audible and visual notification.

Santronics AC-EZ

5.0

Works well, it will show you which wire on a 2-wire cord is "hot".

Santronics ac sensor model 3115

5.0

Received the ac sensor free with the purchase of oscilloscope. Usually when you get something free with a purchase it's a worthless bauble, but in this case it's actually a nice (made in USA no less) tester. Even comes with good brand name batteries. Thanks TEquipment.NET

Useful

4.0

If you work around high-voltage, or need to detect AC, this is a super useful tool.

Oversensitive?

4.0

This voltage detector is one of many that I've owned, a few things that stand out:

- "Tab" on probe end actually fits in a NEMA 5-15R socket. (This seems like a no-brainer, but many don't.)

- Unit only flashes red, there is no audible indicator.

- Unit seems rather sensitive to things like static, random blinks while held in open air / sitting on a desk are common.


Overall, a pretty solid unit, one of the better ones I've owned.

Flickering

4.0

This unit came as a gift with Fluke purchase. So, it is considered a good price?
It works okay but with a shake or a bump on the unit, tip flashes. You are trying to see if AC line is live or not using this. Then I would think you want more stable in terms of indicator flashing.For safety, checking actual voltage with multimeter would be best choice.

Santronics AC-EZ Non-Contact Voltage Detector

5.0

This one is just as good as the more expensive ones out there. Tested it out on several circuits works just fine. Would recommend this detector to anyone working around live circuits.

Santronics AC-EZ Non-Contact Voltage Detector

5.0

Have not used a non-contact device before. Great idea. No longer place my Fluke 116 into a outlet. Quick and easy to use. Price was unbeatable as it was free with my Fluke 62 Max Plus.
