What is the difference between Ncvt 1 and Ncvt 2?
What is the difference between the ncvt-1 and the ncvt-2 models? NCVT-1 automatically detects and indicates standard voltage (48-1000V AC). NCVT-2 automatically detects and indicates low voltage (12-48V AC) and standard voltage (48-1000V AC).
Why does my voltage detector beep but no power?
A voltage tester or sensor is an on/off tool. Note that you should always test the voltage tester on a known live circuit before using it. Even if the batteries are good, these items are notorious for providing false-positives and false-negatives. A false-positive is when the tester beeps, but there is no current.
What does blue mean on a voltage tester?
Blue denotes the mode that will alert to 12-48 VAC with a low-pitch beep and flashing red light or 48-1000 VAC with a continuous beep and a steady red light. Green means that the tester will only alert to 48-1000 VAC with a continuous beep and a steady red light.
What does green mean on a voltage tester?
In NCVT-1 mode, the tester will light a steady green LED in the tip to indicate power-on and single range mode. Turn unit on: Press and hold the power button for ½ second, then release.
What causes phantom voltage?
Conductors that are installed in close proximity to one another, and are capacitively coupled to each other, can cause this a.c. voltage reading. Such a reading could be 2 or 3 volts, or it may be as high as the voltage on the adjacent conductors. This is what is referred to as a “phantom” voltage.
How can an outlet be hot and not work?
If a receptacle isn’t working, replacing it may not fix the issue. From our experience, the problem is usually not the receptacle itself, but a loose connection elsewhere, as is a common occurrence with older outlets. These loose connections can cause arcing to occur between conductors, which creates heat.
Is there a recall on Klein voltage tester ncvt1?
This recall only involves Klein Tools Non-Contact Voltage Tester with model numbers NCVT1 bearing date codes ending H7. All other active voltage tester models or NCVT1 with a date code other than H7 are not subject to recall. I bought the NCVT1 as part of a kit.
Is there a safety issue with the ncvt-1 non-contact voltage tester?
It has recently come to our attention that one of our products, the NCVT-1 NONCONTACT VOLTAGE TESTER, has a potential safety issue that Klein Tools would like to rectify. The on/off button of the NCVT-1 is intended to be pressed down and then released.
How do I Turn on/off the ncvt-1?
The on/off button of the NCVT-1 is intended to be pressed down and then released. If the button remains depressed during the power on or power off cycle, the tip of the tool remains illuminated in green, indicating the tool is “ready to detect voltage,” when it is not. These affected products are sold in the following SKU numbers:
Is there a recall on kleintools testers?
For any returns other than US or Canada, contact [email protected] . Klein has an outstanding safety record and we take this matter very seriously. No injuries have been reported from the use of these testers, but Klein Tools is recalling them out of an abundance of caution.
