Product Information

Full details

The TIS 851 Voltage & Continuity Tester is designed for electricians, technicians, and DIY enthusiasts needing a reliable tool for quick and accurate voltage and continuity testing. The key benefit is its ability to safely and efficiently detect voltage in electrical circuits, verify the integrity of connections, and perform phase rotation tests, ensuring safety and functionality. A minor caveat is that while robust, it's essential to follow safety guidelines when working with electricity. The tester features digital LCD and LED voltage indication, a continuity test with a buzzer, phase rotation testing, and a built-in self-test function, making it an indispensable tool for electrical work.

FAQs

How do I test for voltage?

Select the voltage function, and place the probes on the points you wish to test. The display will show the voltage reading.

How do I test for continuity?

Select the continuity function. Place the probes on either end of the circuit. A buzzer will sound if the circuit is complete.

What is the phase rotation test used for?

The phase rotation test confirms the correct sequence of phases in a three-phase system, ensuring proper motor operation.

What safety standards does this tester meet?

The TIS 851 conforms to BSEN 61243-3:2010 and HSE GS38 12B standards.

What are the CAT ratings?

The tester has CAT III 1000V and CAT IV 600V ratings, indicating its ability to withstand transient overvoltages.

How do I know if the battery is low?

There is a low battery indicator on the display that alerts when the batteries need replacing.

What is the warranty period?

The TIS 851 comes with a 2-year warranty.

Can I use this tester on all electrical systems?

The TIS 851 is suitable for a wide range of electrical systems, but always ensure it's compatible with the voltage and safety requirements of your specific application.

Troubleshooting

Device won't turn on

Check the battery and replace if necessary. Ensure the probes are correctly attached.

Inaccurate voltage readings

Verify the probes are securely connected. Check for any damage to the probes or the device itself. Test the device on a known voltage source to verify accuracy.

Continuity test not working

Ensure the circuit is complete. Check the batteries. Verify that the leads are connected securely.

Phase rotation test failure

Check the connections to the phases. Ensure the test is performed on a live circuit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides quick and accurate voltage detection.
  • Offers clear indication of live wires, outlets, and switches.
  • Includes a continuity test with an audible buzzer for easy circuit verification.
  • Features a phase rotation test for comprehensive electrical system checks.
  • Built-in self-test ensures reliability before use.
  • Durable and rugged construction for use in challenging environments.

Cons

  • Requires batteries for operation.
  • May require additional tools for specific electrical tasks.
  • Limited to voltage and continuity testing; does not perform other electrical measurements (e.g., current).
  • The user must be familiar with electrical safety guidelines.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Initial Setup: Insert the batteries (if not pre-installed). Ensure the probes are securely attached.
  2. Compatibility: Suitable for use in electrical systems conforming to BSEN 61243-3:2010 and HSE GS38 12B standards.
  3. Operation: Select the desired function (voltage, continuity, phase rotation) using the appropriate switch/button. Touch the probes to the test points.
  4. Care:
  • Store the tester in its protective case when not in use.
  • Clean the probes regularly with a dry cloth.
  • Avoid using the tester in wet or excessively dusty conditions.
  • Replace the batteries when the low battery indicator appears.
  • Regularly inspect the probes for damage before use.
