Voltage tester combines safety and accuracy

The Vol-Con Elite voltage continuity tester combines the features of a solenoid tester, including a vibration mode and low-impendence ruggedness, with the advanced safety capabilities and higher-test accuracy provided by digital circuitry. The tester, designed for industrial, commercial and residential contractors, will not overheat over extended periods. The instrument's circuitry also eliminates the possibility of the tester creating a spike in the line, another concern when using a solenoid model. The product is said to be the first digital voltage/continuity tester with a vibration mode comparable to that on a solenoid tester. The non-contact voltage sensor can safely identify voltage up to 600V AC or 220V DC. This instrument is three testers in one. All three models are voltage testers, low-voltage indicators and non-switching continuity testers. Ideal Industries Inc.
