Salisbury?s Self-Testing Voltage Detectors allow testing to be continuous and automatic. An intermittent flash and beep confirms the detector is functioning properly. Self-Testing Voltage Detectors are used to verify live or de-energized conductors. These testers may be used with insulating rubber gloves or hot sticks using the splined universal end fitting. Testers indicate voltage with an extra bright LED light and a distinctive audible signal. It is recommended that the tester be moved closer to the conductor until a warning is indicated, or it touches the conductor, apparatus, or test point. Each tester includes three ?C? batteries. The need for additional PPE can be minimized by confirming that there is no electrical hazard present before work is performed. This can be determined by using a Salisbury Voltage Detector attached to a insulating hot stick of a length long enough to keep the worker outside of the arc flash boundary.
