1000V AC/DC to earth on a CAT III or the parts to be tested, the voltage tester may CAT II installation and 600V AC/DC to earth discharge temporarily the interference voltage on a CAT IV installation. It does not mean it to a level below the ELV, but it will be back to can be used to test for a voltage beyond its the original value when the voltage tester is...
If there is any damage then consult your distributor immediately. 2.2 Description The VT25 and VT28 are voltage testers used for proving circuits are dead i.e. not hazardous live. They are constructed in accordance with the latest safety standards.
The polarity LED’s will illuminate when the probes of the voltage tester together. voltage source is 12V AC rms or DC. On the VT25, check for an audible tone and a Voltage threshold indicators bright RX LED indication. The voltage threshold LED’s...
Also check the buzzer sounds during voltages. proving. Table 1. If testing at locations with high background noise levels, always determine whether the Proving unit type VT25/ Voltage buzzer is perceptible before relying solely on VT28 source PD430 PD690 the buzzer indication.
If wiring that is live is running in close Do not rely solely on the buzzer as an proximity to the ‘dead’ wiring being tested, indication of continuity. Always check the there can be capacitive or inductive voltage threshold LED indications as the coupling between the two, thereby causing buzzer also sounds to indicate the presence interference (phantom) voltage.
