Description
Low Voltage Detector, 1000V AC Voltage
The Fluke 1LAC-II-A-II VoltAlert Voltage Detector is a pen-style, pocket-sized non-contact low voltage detector that tests for energized circuits by sensing the steady state electrostatic field produced by AC voltage through insulation. If voltage is present, the tip glows red and the detector beeps (optional). It is suitable for use by both electricians and nonprofessionals. This instrument detects 20 to 90VAC, has a safety rating of 1000V Category IV, and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 61010-1:2001, Underwriters Laboratories (UL) 61010-1 (2nd ed.), Canadian Standards Association (CSA) CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 61010-1-04, and ISA-82.02.01 Pollution Degree 2. It runs on two AAA batteries (included). Applications include testing a terminal strip, outlet, or supply cord. It has a round tip.
Voltage testers detect electrical current in cables, cords, circuit breakers, switches, wiring, and other components of electrical systems. They can test for live circuits, proper grounding, adequate voltage, and flowing current. They might be used by homeowners to test electrical outlets or by linemen to test power lines. Available in a variety of styles and levels of sophistication, some models simply indicate the presence of electrical current, while others record or display the level of voltage conducted. Some have additional capability such as the ability to perform continuity tests.
