VPC-31

Voltage & Continuity Tester

Rugged and easy to use testers for live voltage and continuity
checks. Built in shaker provides the same functionality and feel as
older analog solenoid testers with benefit of full input protection
to CAT IV 600V / CAT III 1000V.

n Super-bright bi-Color LED’s indicates safe and dangerous
voltages (above 55VDC or 30VAC)

n Auto hold feature - LED’s stay illuminated for 10 sec retaining
a reading after the tests are disconnected

n Solenoid tester-like shaker to indicate AC voltage presence

n Automatically turns ON and OFF for easy and quick

measurements

n Non-contact voltage detection and GFCI test feature for
testing GFCI receptacles and breakers
