CHANCE Auto-Ranging Voltage Indicators

CHANCE Auto-Ranging Voltage Indicators

• Makes hot-line voltage testing easier than ever
• State-of-the-art electronics eliminate need for selector switch
• Automatic-ranging function quickly displays approximate phase-to-phase voltage class
• Provides easy, yet reliable means for operator to determine if a line is: De-energized, or Carrying less than normal system voltage from any source or induced voltage from an adjacent live circuit, or Energized at full system voltage
• Simple-to-operate tester attaches to an Epoxiglas® insulating universal handle of appropriate length to maintain proper OSHA working clearances
• Single push button activates the instrument, then a single light indicates either Power On (by glowing solid) or Low Battery (by blinking)
• With good battery condition, instrument performs a confirming self-test
• It does this by illuminating each of the six indicator lights in series while emitting an alternating audible signal
• Then the probe can be brought into contact with the conductor
• It automatically begins detecting at approximately 480 Volts and holds display of one of these voltage classes: 600 V, 4 kV, 15 kV, 25 kV, 35 kV, or 69 kV phase-to-phase
• Audible signal begins as a slow beeping, becoming faster as final reading is displayed
• When not in use, unit’s energy-saving Sleep mode automatically conserves battery
• For overhead testing, a Shepherd Hook probe is included with the Basic ARVI (Auto-Ranging Voltage Indicator)
• For underground testing, Elbow Adapter T4030856 and Bushing Adapter T4030857 are included. They simply thread onto the ARVI in the field to check for voltage at switch bushings or elbows on cables, using a feed-thru device
