Sofamel VTC-OAD DC Voltage Detector with AC Induced Voltage Indication

These Sofamel voltage detectors are suitable for detecting the presence or absence of direct current (DC) voltage in an electrical system. The instruments have optical and acoustic indicators and they operate at -25°C to 55°C. The detectors also include a 6-metre flexible cable with a silicon sheath.

Key Features

• Field of application: To be used in DC voltage electrical systems of up to 5000 DC, where there are adjacent AC systems of up to 25 kVA, not to be used in installations with only alternating current service voltage.
• Working voltage range: Direct current: 500 V < Vtdc < 5000 V
• AC induced voltage: 500 V < Vtac < 5000 V
• Usage frequency: DIRECT current
• ALTERNATING current 50-60 Hz
• Operating Temperature: -25°C to 55°C
• Humidity range: 20 to 96 %. Not apt for use in rainfall.
• Indication of alert status: Using high luminosity green LED light. There is no voltage or it is below the detection thresholds.
• Voltage presence indication: Optical: fixed orange LED light when DC voltage presence.
• Flashing red LED light when AC induced voltage presence.
• Acoustic: Fixed buzzer when DC voltage is present. Alternated buzzer when AC voltage is present.
• Battery: 9 V, type 6LR61.
• Low battery indication by flashing green LED light and off when battery level is critical.
• Ground cable: Extra flexible cable with silicon sheath and 6m length.
• Insulation pole: With universal head.
• Self-checking: Full self-checking system with automatic disconnection after 2 minutes. WITHOUT DETECTION.
• Automatic start-up: Automatic start-up system using detection of voltage (approx. 400 Vdc).
• Electrode: Non-exchangeable. L type (without contact electrode extension).
• Threshold voltage: Between 350 - 490 V
