Data Sheet VPC-30 Voltage & Continuity Tester Rugged and easy to use testers for live voltage and continuity checks. Built in shaker provides the same functionality and feel as older analog solenoid testers with benefit of full input protection to CAT IV 600V / CAT III 1000V. n Super-bright bi-Color LED's indicates safe and dangerous voltages (above 55VDC or 30VAC) n Auto hold feature - LED's stay illuminated for 10 sec retaining a reading after the tests are disconnected n Solenoid tester-like shaker to indicate AC voltage presence n Automatically turns ON and OFF for easy and quick measurements n Non-contact voltage detection and GFCI test feature for testing GFCI receptacles and breakers No hassle warranty n Standard detachable test lead (black) for easy replacement with optional longer or specialized probe No waiting. n LED's indicate 10 levels of AC and DC Voltages:: No shipping charges. Our commitment to high-quality products and customer service is demonstrated by our industry exclusive "No Hassle" warranty. In the unlikely event that an Amprobe Test Tool requires warranty service, any of our local dealers are authorized to replace it, on the spot. n Automatically selects AC Voltage, DC Voltage or Continuity n Volts (AC) 24, 48, 120, 208, 240, 277, 347, 480, 600, 1000 n Volts (DC) 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 110, 220, 380 n Continuity buzzer and Visual continuity indication (LED) n Water and dust proof, IP65 design n Safety CAT IV 600 V, CAT III 1000 V (note: $500 MSLP limit) Amprobe(R) Test Tools www.Amprobe.com VPC-30 Voltage & Continuity Tester Specifications Data Sheet Update Rate Operating Temperature Relative Humidity Altitude Storage Temperature Temperature C oefficient Sensing Type of Protection Pollution Degree E.M.C.
