Wiha WHA44309 12-1000V AC Explosion Protected Non-contact Voltage Detector

The Wiha Non-Contact Voltage Detector is a CAT IV rated testing device designed for electricians and contractors working with live electrical systems from 12V to 1000V AC. This explosion-protected voltage tester provides contactless detection of live cables, cable breaks, blown fuses and defective bulbs through optical and audible signals, making it an essential safety tool for electrical diagnostics. The voltage detector features an intelligent multi-colour LED system that indicates operational status and field strength. A permanently green LED confirms the device is ready for use, whilst blue, orange and red LEDs signal weak, medium and strong alternating electric fields respectively. This graduated response allows electricians to assess voltage levels without direct contact with conductors. Built to IP67 protection standards, this single-pole voltage tester is engineered for demanding trade environments with an operating temperature range of -20°C to 40°C. The compact design includes a push-on clip for secure pocket carry, whilst an integrated torch illuminates measurement points in dark locations such as consumer units and ceiling voids. The device conserves battery life through automatic switch-off after four minutes of inactivity. The internationally compatible measurement tip works with all socket variants worldwide, making this tester suitable for contractors working across different electrical standards. Compliant with EN 61010-1 and IEC 61326, this Wiha voltage detector should always be tested on a known voltage source before and after each use to verify correct operation.
