Product Information
Full details
The Wera Kraftform 247 VDE Insulated Voltage Tester is designed for electricians and electrical contractors who need to safely detect voltage in single-pole applications within the 150-250 volt range. Its key benefit is providing reliable voltage detection with VDE insulation for enhanced user safety and a comfortable Kraftform handle for extended use. A potential caveat is its limited voltage range, making it unsuitable for higher voltage systems.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the minimum and maximum voltage this tester can detect?
The Wera Kraftform 247 VDE Insulated Voltage Tester is designed to detect voltage within the range of 150V to 250V.
Is this tester suitable for DC voltage?
No, this tester is designed for single-pole AC voltage detection only, specifically within the 150-250V range.
How do I know if voltage is present?
When voltage is detected, an indicator (typically a small light or glow within the tester) will activate. This confirms the presence of a live circuit within the tester's operating range.
What does VDE insulation mean?
VDE insulation refers to safety certification standards recognized in Europe. It means the tool has been tested and certified to provide protection against electric shock when used correctly on live circuits within its specified voltage limits.
Can I use this tester for checking continuity?
No, this is a voltage tester and is not designed for checking circuit continuity.
How should I clean the voltage tester?
Clean the tester with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents, as they can degrade the insulated material.
What should I do if the tester appears damaged?
If you notice any cracks, chips, or wear on the insulated handle or shaft, do not use the tester. It is crucial to replace it immediately to ensure your safety.
Troubleshooting
Tester does not indicate voltage when expected
Ensure the voltage is within the 150-250V range. Verify that the tester is being used correctly for single-pole detection (one contact point on the circuit, the other hand touching the metal cap on the handle). Check for any visible damage to the insulation or the tip.
Tester feels loose or damaged
Immediately cease using the tester. Inspect the handle and the insulated shaft for any cracks, chips, or signs of wear. If damage is present, the tester should be replaced to maintain safety standards.
Indicator light (if applicable) is not functioning
If the tester has an internal indicator and it is not working, it may be faulty. For testers that rely on a small neon bulb, ensure it hasn't burned out. If unsure, test on a known live circuit within the specified range. If still no indication, replace the tester.
