Safety Certication
All Amprobe tools, including the
Amprobe VPC-10A and VPC-12, are
rigorously tested for safety, accuracy,
reliability, and ruggedness in our stateof-the-art test lab. In addition, Amprobe
products that measure electricity are listed by
a 3rd party safety lab, either UL or CSA. This
system assures that Amprobe products meet
or exceed safety regulations and will perform
in a tough, professional environment for
many years to come.

Highlights
Applications
You can quickly measure ac and dc voltage in circuitry and its
components—including outlets, light xtures, batteries and
extension cords— as well as test the continuity of fuses, light bulbs
and electrical connections.
To increase accuracy and speed, the VPCs turn on when a complete
circuit is sensed, automatically select AC or DC voltage or continuity
mode, and auto-off when removed from a circuit.
With an operating battery life of 300 hours and operating
temperature ranging from 41 degrees F to 140 degrees F, these
tools are just as rugged and reliable as they are safe.
How safe is it?
As is expected from an Amprobe tool, they bring the highest
standard of safety to professional electricians, appliance technicians
and home owners working in a CAT IV 600 V environment.
Upgrade with the VPC-12
With this model, a vibrating alert indicates the presence of
continuity as well as dangerous voltage levels, in additional to the
visual and audible alerts. This is especially helpful when wearing
thick PPE gloves and working in a noisy environment. plications
Also, the VPC-12 includes VolTect™ Non-contact Voltage Detection,
an added level of safety when working with high voltage levels in
an industrial setting.
Finally, a built-in light makes working in dimly-lit areas possible
with the VPC-12.
What does it come with?
It comes complete and ready so you can use it right away, including
three 1.5 V AAA batteries and a printed user manual.

In CAT III environments, use the test probes with the probe caps on.
This decreases the exposed probe tip to reduce the possibility of an arc
ash from short circuits. When the probe cap is off, the probe tip is 18
mm and rated to CAT II 1000 V.
CAT III 600 V
24…600 VAC, 6…220 VDC
90 to 600 VAC,
In CAT III or CAT IV environments, use the test probes with the probe
cap on. This decreases the exposed probe tip to reduce the possibility
of arc ash from short circuits. When the probe cap is off, the probe
tip is 18 mm and rated to CAT II 1000 V.
