CIE Volt Stick EX230 230v AC Non-Contact Voltage Tester
The CIE Volt Stick EX230 230v AC Non-Contact Voltage Tester provides a quick way to check for the presence of AC voltage without disconnecting cables or making direct electrical contact. Its intrinsically safe design is ATEX and IECEx approved for use in explosive atmospheres and hazardous areas. This makes it suitable for electrical testing and maintenance in environments such as chemical plants, oil refineries and offshore rigs.
Designed for practical fault finding, the tester can identify voltage-carrying cables in junction boxes, locate cable breaks and detect blown fuses inside plugs or fuse holders. It can also help distinguish between live and neutral conductors in both single-phase and three-phase supplies. In addition, the CIE Volt Stick EX230 230v AC Non-Contact Voltage Tester can identify faulty in-line switches and defective bulbs in series-connected lighting.
A safety handguard helps reduce the risk of unintended contact with live conductors during use. The voltage indicator responds immediately and operates across an AC voltage range of 200 to 1000V. With IP64 ingress protection, CAT III 1000V AC overvoltage classification and a compact 145 mm long body, the tester combines straightforward operation with features intended for demanding electrical inspection work.
