Voltage Detectors
Salisbury’s voltage detectors are used to verify live or de-energized conductors. These detectors may be used with insulating rubber gloves or hotsticks using the splined universal end fitting. Testers indicate voltage with an extra bright LED light and a distinctive audible signal. It is recommended that the tester be moved closer to the conductor until a warning is indicated, or it touches the conductor, apparatus or test point. Each tester includes three “C” batteries. The need for additional PPE can be minimized by confirming that there is no electrical hazard present before work is performed. This can be determined by using a Salisbury voltage detector attached to a insulating hotstick of a length long enough to keep the worker outside of the arc flash boundary. The Salisbury voltage detector alarms in the proximity of electric fields, so that it is not necessary to make physical contact with the equipment being checked. It is made of non-conductive materials, meaning that it will not conduct electricity nor will it cause an arc flash, even if contact with energized equipment is made.

Self-Testing Models
Voltage detectors are available in the standard option and self-testing option. Self-testing voltage detectors allow testing to be continuous and automatic. To test, select the "Test-240V" setting and approach a 110V outlet source to confirm functionality. A kit includes the detector, case, and clampstick universal adapter.
Self Test Voltage Detectors
Standard Models
VOLTAGE DETECTORS are used to verify live or de-energized conductors. These detectors may be used with rubber insulating gloves or hotsticks using the splined universal end fitting. Testers indicate the presence of voltage with an extra bright LED light and a distinctive audible signal. It is recommended that the tester be moved closer to conductor until warning is indicated, or it touches conductor, apparatus or test point. Test the unit on a nearby energized conductor. Each tester requires three “C” batteries (included).
The 4445 VOLTAGE DETECTOR TESTER provides the most convenient and reliable means of verifying operation of Salisbury Voltage Detectors. The tester features instant push-button operation and requires a standard 9-volt battery (included). It’s portable and lightweight. To operate, push the button and move the tester toward the voltage detector being verified. The tester generates an electric field that activates the detector verifying the audible and visual signals.
