Introduction

The VP40_VP42 detects the presence of AC voltage at
electrical outlets, junction strips, electrical circuits, and
other devices without having to physically contact the
device. The VP40 has a minimum excitation voltage of
90V AC; The VP42 has a minimum excitation voltage of
190V AC. Both models have a high sensitivity mode
allowing detection down to 24V AC. Vibrating and visual
cues alert the user when AC voltage is present. Bright
tip lights permit operation in dimly lit areas.
