Safe isolation

It offers a simple, reliable way to ensure circuits have been de-energised and properly isolated prior to maintenance and modifications.

Based on the industry endorsed VI3800, the new CATIV design not only provides improved protection against voltage transients, but includes a high wattage resistor that will limit the current in the event of damage to the cable in accordance with BS EN61243-3. The protection is built into the handheld probe assembly rather than just in the instrument.

Fully compliant with HSE GS38 regulations, VI1500 comes with heavy duty two layer double insulated leads and features bright LEDs to clearly identify the voltage present in five levels with thresholds to 690V.  The indicator, which requires no batteries, will identify both AC and DC sources and show polarity.

Designed in Martindale’s distinctive yellow casing with a clear blue label, to make it easily identifiable, the new VI1500 is available to purchase on its own or as part of a kit containing everything needed for on-site working.  Kits includes a high voltage Martindale proving unit, combination carry case and locking off devices, enabling full compliance with health and safety recommendations for safe working which require voltage indicators to be proved before and after use and the point of isolation to be locked off with a caution notice.
