FLIR VT8 Specifications

VOLTAGE, CONTINUITY, AND
CURRENT TESTER

FLIR VT8

™

The FLIR VT8 is a high-quality voltage, continuity, and current

tester, ideal for electricians and service technicians who

troubleshoot and verify electrical installations or systems

within commercial and light industrial facilities. The FLIR

VT8’s optimized and open-jaw design allows it to fit into tight

spaces and reliably measure large-diameter cables. Extensive

measurement features make the FLIR VT8 a versatile tool

– just one meter can get the job done. Carry the compact

tester in your pocket to be ready at any moment for easy

troubleshooting.

Choose f rom two mo dels: the FLIR V T8- 600 wit h a CAT III-60 0 V

/CAT IV-300 V safety rating and a 100 A/600 V measuring

range; or the FLIR VT8-1000 with the CAT III-1000 V/CAT

IV-600 V

safety rating and a 200 A/1000 V measuring range.

RUGGED AND SAFE

Made with the quality and reliability you have come
to expect from FLIR test and measurement tools

• Work more safely with the CAT IV safety ratings

• Safely store test leads when not in use with the
built-in test lead holder

• Keep the test leads out of your way when you’re
not using them - the length is short enough to
minimize interference, yet long enough to get the
job done

RICH F E ATURES

Equipped with the capabilities you need for one
versatile troubleshooting tool

• Measure AC/DC voltage and current, continuity,
resistance, and capacitance

• Work efciently in dimly lit areas using the bright
LED worklight and backlit display

• Detect live AC voltages with the built-in
non-contact voltage (NCV) detector

• Improve accuracy of readings with True RMS
measurements

FLEXIBLE, EASY TO USE

Designed for long, trouble-free operation so you can
focus on the task at hand

• Take measurements in tight spaces with the
optimized jaw design, and measure
large-diameter cables with the wide jaw
opening

• Operate the meter with one hand thanks to
the compact, ergonomic design

• View information easily at any distance on
the large multi-function LCD display
