Amprobe 2100-Alpha Two Pole LED Voltage Tester

Description

The Beha-Amprobe 2100-Alpha Two Pole LED Voltage Tester can be used to test for voltages between 12 and 690V AC/DC. Readings are indicated via the LED display along with the voltage polarity. When readings above 50V AC or 120V DC are detected the Beha-Amprobe 2100-Alpha Two Pole LED Voltage Tester will issue an audible alert.

The Beha-Amprobe 2100-Alpha Two Pole LED Voltage Tester will also issue an audible and visual alert when a voltage is detected during single-phase voltage detection tests (conducted using the main probe) and will indicate the presence of continuity via the illumination of a dedicated LED. Continuity tests are conducted automatically.

In addition to this, the Beha-Amprobe 2100-Alpha Two Pole LED Voltage Tester features two pole phase rotation indication (right) and can conduct single pole tests to verify phase polarity.

Further to this, the Beha-Amprobe 2100-Alpha Two Pole LED Voltage Tester is suitable for checking that 10mA and 30mA RCDs are wired correctly. These components can be tripped remotely by pressing both of the Beha-Amprobe 2100-Alpha Two Pole LED Voltage Tester’s buttons. When both of these buttons are pressed the unit is placed in low-impedance mode, thereby preventing ghost voltages from affecting the accuracy of the readings.

However; when neither of the buttons is pressed the Beha-Amprobe 2100-Alpha Two Pole LED Voltage Tester is in high-impedance mode which prevents the accidental tripping of RCDs and ELCBs. Moreover, this mode improves the safety of the instrument when checking live power sources.

Also adding to the safety of this instrument is its rugged, IP64 design. It is resistant to dust and water ingress and is equipped with a 1.5m, wear-indication test lead. Furthermore, the Beha-Amprobe 2100-Alpha Two Pole LED Voltage Tester is constructed according to the standard EN 61243-3:2010, has a safety rating of CAT IV 600V/ CAT III 690V and is GS approved. It is supplied with GS38 protective probe caps and these caps, as well as the 4mm test probe extensions, can be stored in the conveniently designed test probe protector cover. The protector cover is connected to the tester and features a tip that can be used to open UK electrical safety outlets.

This robust, durable and practical design makes the Beha-Amprobe 2100-Alpha Two Pole LED Voltage Tester suitable for use in industrial and commercial environments. It also features a torch for illuminating the measurement area, ensuring that the tester can be used in dark or dim locations.

Finally, it features Auto Power ON/OFF and OFF buttons which work to preserve the battery life of the Beha-Amprobe 2100-Alpha Two Pole LED Voltage Tester, as well as improve the ease with which this instrument can be operated.

The Beha-Amprobe 2100-Alpha Two Pole LED Voltage Tester is the entry model in Amprobe’s series of 2100 Two Pole Voltage Testers; nevertheless, it is a comprehensive, durable and easy-to-use instrument suitable for a multitude of applications within commercial and industrial environments.
