Amprobe’s hand-held residential and commercial Voltage and Continuity Testers are loaded with safety, time-saving and accuracy features. They allow you to quickly troubleshoot voltage and continuity for residential and commercial applications using visual and audible alerts.
Quickly measure AC and DC voltage in circuitry and its components—including outlets, light fixtures, batteries and extension cords— as well as test the continuity of fuses, light bulbs and electrical connections.
In addition to full range polarity detection, they both signal continuity and voltage with visual and audible alerts. On its face, seven LED indicators clearly differentiate between key voltage levels: 24, 120, 208, 240, 277, 480, 600 V AC; and 6, 12, 24, 36, 48,110, 220 V DC.
To increase accuracy and speed, the VPC-10A turns on when a complete circuit is sensed, automatically select AC or DC voltage or continuity mode, and auto-off when removed from a circuit.
Measuring under 6 inches long and weighing less than half a pound, its rugged, compact design allows for easy one-handed use. With an operating battery life of 40 hours and operating temperature ranging from 41 degrees F to 140 degrees F, this tool is just as rugged and reliable as it is safe.
Features:
• Quickly troubleshoot voltage and continuity and detect presence of voltages easily
• Turns on when a complete circuit is sensed, automatically selects AC or DC voltage or continuity mode, and autos-off when removed from a circuit
• Seven visual voltage indicators clearly differentiating between key voltage levels.
