Multi-range Voltage Detector

Easier-To-Read, illuminated Dial The lighted-dial option sets this unit apart from standard features on Multi-Range Voltage Detector (MRVD) C4030979, shown on next page A long-life bulb, powered by included internal battery, gives a glow to the meter face so scale is easy to read in most conditions To conserve the battery, a special switch locks the light off when not in use Spring-loaded toggle must be pulled up to move it over the stop between its on and off positions This helps keep switch from being flipped on accidentally while unit is not in use Standard Features Confirms a line is de-energized prior to performing maintenance A field intensity meter, it is calibrated to read approximate line-to-line voltage when connected to any phase conductor Responds to magnitude of field gradient between its end probe and floating electrode (at the universal hot stick attachment fitting) If the universal fitting is close to a ground, another phase or another voltage source, reading should be high If its close to a jumper or equipment of the same phase, the reading should be low Gives metered readout capable of distinguishing actual line voltage from static or feed over from an adjacent line Numerical readings can be compared with numerical rather than subjective judgments associated with fuzz sticking or glow-detecting Since it is not a voltmeter, no specific accuracy is claimed by the manufacturer or can be assumed by the user Available in below Model also 1. 1-40kV 2. 16-161kV 3. 69-600kV
