FAQs

What is the voltage range for this tester?

This Bosch Professional voltage tester can detect AC voltages ranging from 120V to 250V.

Does this tester work for DC voltage?

No, this is a single-pole voltage tester specifically designed for detecting AC voltage only. It is not suitable for DC voltage testing.

How do I know if the tester is working?

When the tip touches a live AC conductor within its specified range (120-250V) and your finger is on the end of the handle, the integrated glow lamp inside the handle will illuminate.

Is the screwdriver tip replaceable?

No, the SL3x65mm screwdriver tip is fixed and not designed to be replaced.

What does 'DIN VDE 0680-6 Certified' mean?

This certification means the tool meets specific European safety standards for voltage testing devices, ensuring a certain level of safety and reliability for users.

How should I clean the voltage tester?

Clean the tester with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as they can damage the insulated parts of the tool.

What is the shaft made of?

The shaft is made of S2 steel and is insulated for user safety.

Troubleshooting

Glow lamp does not illuminate when testing a known live circuit.

Ensure the circuit is indeed live and within the 120V-250V AC range. Check that the tester is held correctly, with the user's finger on the end of the handle. Inspect the tester for any visible damage; if damaged, discontinue use and replace.

Tester feels loose or shows signs of wear.

Inspect the tool for any damage to the shaft or handle. If the tool appears compromised, it may no longer be safe to use. Consider replacing the tool to ensure continued safety and reliability.

Tester gives intermittent readings.

This could indicate a loose connection within the tester or an unstable voltage source. Ensure good contact with the conductor being tested and verify the power source is stable. If the issue persists, the tester may need replacement.

Pros and Cons

  • Provides clear visual indication of live voltage with its glow lamp.
  • Comfortable to hold and use due to its ergonomic grip.
  • Durable construction with an insulated S2 steel shaft for safety.
  • Convenient to carry and access with a sturdy pocket clip.

Cons

  • Limited to detecting AC voltage only, not DC.
  • Maximum voltage detection is capped at 250V AC.
  • Screwdriver tip is fixed (SL3x65mm), not interchangeable.
  • No other electrical measurement functions beyond basic voltage detection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a non-electronic tool and requires no setup. It is ready for immediate use out of the packaging.

Compatibility: This tester is designed to detect AC voltages between 120V and 250V. It is not compatible with DC voltage detection.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Clean the shaft and handle with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners that could damage the insulation.
  2. Storage: Store in a dry environment, ideally in a toolbox or on a workbench. Use the pocket clip to keep it secure when not in use.
  3. Inspection: Before each use, visually inspect the tool for any signs of damage, such as cracks in the handle or damage to the insulated shaft. Do not use if damaged.
