Benning VT 2 non-contact voltage tester CAT III 1000 V / CAT IV 600 V with acoustic signal and LED (044055)

The Benning VT 2 non-contact voltage tester detects the presence of AC voltage quickly and without direct contact, suitable for use on outlets, cables and equipment in both residential and industrial environments. The tester is designed for voltage detection up to CAT III 1000 V and CAT IV 600 V and signals presence of voltage by a built-in LED and an acoustic tone, allowing for immediate visual and audible confirmation during routine maintenance and troubleshooting.

Advantages

The device combines non-contact sensing with both visual and acoustic indication to provide clear confirmation of live conductors. Its CAT III 1000 V and CAT IV 600 V rating supports use in a range of electrical environments. The compact design and simple one-handed operation enable rapid checks without exposing the user to live parts. Battery operation ensures portability and quick deployment for on-site tasks.

Suitable for

• Quick verification of live conductors in sockets, switchgear and junction boxes
• Fault finding during electrical maintenance in homes and commercial buildings
• On-site equipment checks where non-contact voltage detection is preferred
• Preventive safety checks before working on circuits or replacing components

Key specifications

• Voltage detection: AC voltage sensing up to CAT III 1000 V and CAT IV 600 V
• Indication methods: LED visual indicator and acoustic signal
• Operation: non-contact detection to avoid direct conductor contact
• Power supply: battery powered for portable use
• Form factor: compact, hand-held pen-style tester for easy handling

How to use

Switch on the tester according to the manufacturer's instructions and bring the sensing end close to the conductor, outlet or cable under test without contacting live parts. Observe the LED and listen for the acoustic signal; both indicate the presence of AC voltage. Move the tester along the length of the cable or around the outlet to locate live conductors and confirm voltage absence before starting work. Replace batteries promptly when indicators weaken to maintain reliable operation.

Usage recommendations

Use the VT 2 as a first-line check for the presence of AC voltage but do not rely on it as the sole means of verification for live/dead testing in safety-critical procedures. Always follow established safety procedures and, where required, perform additional verification with appropriate contact measuring instruments before carrying out live work.
