FLIR Systems announces the FLIR VP40<\/a><\/strong>, a non-contact voltage detector for use in North America designed for field-troubleshooting and verification of residential, commercial, and industrial electrical installations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The VP40 makes it easy to quickly troubleshoot live and neutral wiring to ensure a safe job site. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With its built-in flashlight and CAT IV safety rating, the FLIR VP40 is a must-have for preliminary job site checks for live wiring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The durable, pen-sized tester quickly identifies the presence of AC voltage without contacting wires, even in the latest safety outlets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The VP40 simplifies wire identification by sorting and tracing neutral and live wires in sockets and junction boxes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspired by today’s smartphones, the VP40 uses both multi-coloured LEDs and vibration to alert electrical contractors of live voltage, ensuring inspectors do not miss these notifications in loud or dark locations.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The durable tester is built for longevity, with an anti-roll case body and rugged construction that can withstand a 3-metre (9.8-feet) drop onto concrete. Every VP40 is also protected by FLIR’s outstanding three-year warranty. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
