The VR40 offers a safe (non-contact) way to check whether a line, cable or AC outlet is “hot” (energized). It does so by using a blade tip to sense from a short distance the electromagnetic field created by AC voltage. When voltage is detected, the VR40 produces audible and visual alarms (a beeping sound, and a flashing red light adjacent to the tip.
- Detects the presence of AC voltage in outlets and wiring
- Because its tip can fit in the slots of 110 VAC receptacles, as it checks for voltage the VR40 also indicates whether the receptacle is wired correctly, or wired in reverse
- All four functions are on one end of unit (NCV, IRT, flashlight and laser Pointer)
- Audible and visual sensing indication
- An infrared thermometer (IRT) for non-contact measurement of local surface temperatures
- Adjustable sensitivity in 4 ranges (12 - 25, 70 - 125, 150 - 240 and 250 - 600 VAC)
- Compact and pocket-size
- 3-digit LCD and sensitivity bar graph
- ETL certified for CAT III 600 V
