Safety functions meet SIL 3 per IEC 61508-1

Flexible Applications

Designed for testing three-phase circuits up to 600V

Install on line or load side of electrical disconnect

Detects absence of AC and DC voltage

Multiple Environments

All VeriSafe

™

Absence of Voltage Testers are tested to Type (UL, NEMA and CSA)

1, 12, 13, 4, 4X, IP66, or IP67 VS-AVT2 parts are rated to Class 1 Division 2, and

Class 1 Zone 2 environments

When servicing electrical equipment, workers must

comply with safety regulations that require a voltage

verification test to validate the absence of voltage.

This process includes a number of stages that can

be complex and time-consuming when using

hand-held portable test instruments.

The VeriSafe

™

Absence of Voltage

Tester from Panduit simplifies this process by

automating the voltage verification process.

Once installed, a simple push of a button enables workers to verify the absence of voltage and see an active

indication when the absence of voltage is confirmed. This provides a new and innovative way to safely, reliably,

and efficiently verify the absence of voltage before accessing potentially dangerous electrical equipment.

By automating this process, the VeriSafe

™

Absence of Voltage Tester:

• Reduces the risk of exposure of electrical hazards for improved worker safety

• Reduces testing procedure time and complexity to improve productivity

• Supports compliance when used to verify the electrical lockout/tagout

process as described in NFPA 70E

The VeriSafe

™

Absence of Voltage Tester minimizes risk by verifying the absence of voltage before equipment

is accessed, making it easier for workers to verify an electrically safe work condition has been established in a

fraction of the time compared to using hand-held portable test instruments.

Product Bulletin VeriSafe™ Absence of Voltage Tester The Safe Way to Verify the Absence of Voltage. When servicing electrical equipment, workers must comply with safety regulations that require a voltage verification test to validate the absence of voltage. This process includes a number of stages that can be complex and time-consuming when using hand-held portable test instruments. The VeriSafe™ Absence of Voltage Tester from Panduit simplifies this process by automating the voltage verification process.

VeriSafe™ Absence of Voltage Tester Electrical Safety Prior to performing de-energized work on electrical equipment, NFPA 70E requires that workers verify equipment is in an electrically safe state. Until proven otherwise, equipment must be treated as energized and necessary precautions must be observed. One of the steps in the process of verifying that equipment is in an electrically safe state involves a test for the absence of voltage.

VeriSafe™ Absence of Voltage Tester More than a Voltage Indicator Voltage indicators warn of hazardous voltage, but cannot be used to confirm if equipment is de-energized. Absence of Voltage Testers are permanently-mounted test devices designed to verify that a circuit is de-energized prior to opening an electrical enclosure containing electrical conductors and circuit parts. RED indicators illuminate when hazardous voltage is present. When AC voltage is not detected, indicators are not illuminated.
