The Klein Tools NCVT-6 is an amazing non-contact voltage tester that comes with an integrated laser distance meter. This powerful tool can detect voltage across a wide range from 12 to 1000 VAC, and it can measure distances from 2 inches (51 mm) all the way up to 66 feet (20 m). The laser distance meter works independently of the NCVT and has a user-friendly, intuitive interface. You can easily switch between voltage detection and laser distance measurements with just a single button. This tester includes one voltage tester and two 1.5V alkaline AAA batteries. It can non-contact determine AC voltage in various things like cables, cords, circuit breakers, switches, outlets, and wires. It also works for AC voltage in security, entertainment, communications, environmental control, and irrigation systems. It detects AC voltage from 12 to 1000V with both visual and audible indicators. The 66-foot (20 m) laser distance meter can measure in different units such as meters, inches with decimals or fractions, and feet with decimals or fractions. It has a high-visibility reverse contrast display, making it easy to read in low light. The laser is Class II, 630 to 670nm, with a max power of less than 1mW. It has a simple interface, and you can switch between functions easily. When it detects AC voltage, it gives simultaneous visual and audible indicators. The audible indicator beeps faster as the voltage increases or when you get closer to the voltage source. It's built to withstand a 6.6-foot (2 m) drop. The auto power-off feature helps conserve battery life, and it has a screw-thread battery cap. It's a lightweight tool with a pocket clip for easy daily carrying and storage. It has a CAT IV 1000V safety rating and is IP40 dust resistant. Its special features include full-range voltage detection from 12 - 1000 VAC with visual and audible indicators, a laser distance meter, and a high-visibility reverse contrast display.
Using the Klein NCVT-6 is a breeze. To detect voltage, just hold the tester close to the object you want to check. If there's AC voltage between 12 and 1000V, it'll give you visual and audible signals. The beeping will get faster as the voltage goes up or as you get nearer to the source. For measuring distances, press the button to switch to the laser distance mode. Aim the laser at the target, and it'll show you the distance on the high-visibility display. When not in use, make sure to turn it off using the auto power-off feature to save battery. Keep it away from water as it's only dust resistant (IP40). If it gets dropped from a height, check it for any visible damage before using it again. Replace the batteries when the power is low. Unscrew the screw-thread battery cap to change the two 1.5V alkaline AAA batteries. And don't forget, it's a lightweight tool, so you can easily carry it in your pocket using the clip for your daily work.
