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.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides safe and reliable single-pole voltage detection.
  • Comfortable and ergonomic Kraftform handle reduces user fatigue.
  • Integrated clip offers convenient portability and accessibility.
  • Anti-roll design enhances workplace safety.
  • VDE certified insulation ensures user protection.

Cons

  • Limited to a voltage range of 150-250V, not suitable for all electrical systems.
  • Does not have a built-in display, requiring visual confirmation of detection.
  • Single-pole testing only; not for complete circuit verification.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This voltage tester requires no setup. It is ready for immediate use upon unpacking.

Compatibility:

  • Voltage Range: Compatible with AC voltage circuits between 150V and 250V.
  • Usage: Suitable for single-pole voltage detection.
  • Certifications: CE, GS, DVE certified, ensuring compliance with relevant safety standards.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean the tester with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the insulation.
  • Storage: Store in a dry place, away from extreme temperatures. Utilize the integrated clip for convenient storage on a tool belt or in a toolbox.
  • Inspection: Regularly inspect the insulation for any signs of damage, cracks, or wear. If damage is found, discontinue use immediately to ensure safety.
