Verify voltage presence and test for absence of voltage in one device.

Performing Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) safely requires the answer to one question; is there voltage? NFPA 70E/CSAZ462 requires an absence of voltage test to verify an electrically safe work condition. The traditional process poses arc flash and shock hazards to comply with NFPA 70E Article 120.5: Process for Establishing and Verifying an Electrically Safe Work Condition. The ChekVolt® allows users to safely test for absence of voltage and provides voltage presence indication; all without opening the enclosure door and in one device. The touch-safe, compact PESD features voltmeter compatible test points and redundant LED voltage presence indication rated up to 1000 VAC/VDC. The Grace Technologies ChekVolt® is quickly installed through a single 30mm knockout

Features:

  • Operational Voltage Range of 1000 VAC/VDC
  • Self-powered, no additional power supply required (no battery)
  • Meets NPFA 70E, Article 120.5, step 7 (live-dead-live test)
