Klein NCVT-5A Dual-Range Non-Contact Voltage Tester w/Laser Pointer

The Klein NCVT-5A Dual-Range Non-Contact Voltage Tester with Laser Pointer is a must - have tool for electricians and DIY enthusiasts. It comes with two AAA batteries right out of the box. This tester can quickly and safely detect AC voltage in various places like cables, cords, circuit breakers, and even in security, entertainment, and irrigation systems. It offers dual - range testing: choose 12 to 1000V AC for low - voltage systems such as doorbells or environmental control, or 70 to 1000V AC for electrical mains supply. The built - in bright laser pointer helps you identify objects at a distance on the jobsite. Its user - friendly interface makes it a breeze to switch between voltage ranges and know the active range. When AC voltage is detected, it gives both visual and audible alerts. The beeping frequency of the audible indicator increases with higher voltage or closer proximity to the source. It's robustly built to withstand a 9.9 - foot (3 - meter) drop. The 'Auto Power - Off' feature saves battery life, and it has a screw - thread battery cap. This lightweight and compact tool with a pocket clip allows for easy storage and quick access. It holds a CAT IV 1000V safety rating and has a US Patent No. D750985.

Using the Klein NCVT - 5A is easy. First, make sure the two AAA batteries are properly installed. Turn on the tester and select the appropriate voltage range (12 - 1000V AC for low - voltage systems or 70 - 1000V AC for standard electrical systems). To use the laser pointer, just activate it as needed. When you bring the tester close to a possible voltage source, it will give you visual and audible signals if voltage is present. Remember, the higher the voltage or the closer you are to the source, the faster the beeping. As for maintenance, keep the tool clean and dry. Avoid dropping it, although it can handle a 9.9 - foot fall. When the battery life runs low, replace the AAA batteries. The auto - power - off feature helps conserve battery, but if you're done using the tool, you can also manually turn it off. And always follow safety guidelines as it has a CAT IV 1000V safety rating.
