The bright LED indicators provide immediate display of the voltage range and the VT12 is supplied with probe caps for GS38 compliance. LED voltage indicator Measures 12V to 690V Includes continuity test Probe caps for GS38 compliance AC/DC 2 pole voltage indication Single pole phase test Built for safety (CAT III 600V, CAT VI 300V) Built for safety Review: No sparky. No ripoff. - Good tool. Always a good idea to be safe. Easy to use when doing those risky DIY electrical jobs. Much cheaper than an electrician. Review: Cheap, functional and easy to use - Bought this to ensure my planned home DIY electrical work went without a trip to A&E. The tester works without the batteries when connected to a live circuit. Not sure why people are having problems with the battery cover as it screws on to secure it in place I thought it was quite secure. Comes with 2 aaa batteries in the box. Although this isn’t exactly all singing and all dancing the device serves its purpose and gets the job done safely at a reasonable price and is simple and easy to use. The plastic doesn’t seem particularly cheap as others have mentioned like on some aliexpress items I’ve purchased. If you plan on doing some electrical DIY get one of these better to spend £30 than get a nasty shock from the mains an essential purchase for any electrical DIYer. ## Features - Reliable Two-Pole Voltage and Continuity Tester for professional electrical safety - Measures AC/DC voltages from 12V to 690V for comprehensive testing needs - Includes continuity testing function for quick circuit verification - GS38 compliant with probe tip caps for enhanced user protection - Durable design trusted by electricians for accurate and safe performance ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004NU2TM0 | | Best Sellers Rank | 3,491 in DIY & Tools ( See Top 100 in DIY & Tools ) 6 in Voltage Testers | | Brand | Martindale | | Colour | Yellow | | Country Of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,374 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05036162185595 | | Included Components | 1 x Martindale Two Pole Voltage and Continuity Tester and batteries | | Item Dimensions | 20.5 x 6.7 x 2.7 centimetres | | Item Type Name | Two Pole Voltage and Continuity Tester | | Item Weight | 0.13 Kilograms | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 20.5 x 6.7 x 2.7 centimetres | | Item weight | 0.13 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Martindale Electric Co Ltd | | Manufacturer Part Number | VT12 | | Maximum Operating Voltage | 690 Volts | | Measurement Type | Voltmeter | | Minimum Operating Voltage | 12 Volts | | Model Number | VT12 | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Power source | Battery Powered | | Product Warranty | 2 year | | Specification Met | BS EN 61243-3 2014 | | Style | Industrial | | Style Name | Industrial | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Martindale - **Colour:** Yellow - **Item weight:** 0.13 Kilograms - **Power source:** Battery Powered - **Style:** Industrial ## Images ![VT12 Two Pole Voltage and Continuity Tester, Yellow - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51xxr7hnDBL.jpg) ![VT12 Two Pole Voltage and Continuity Tester, Yellow - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61NCbVtR+zL.jpg) ![VT12 Two Pole Voltage and Continuity Tester, Yellow - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51-5SBiVX1L.jpg) ![VT12 Two Pole Voltage and Continuity Tester, Yellow - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51pZtDHmQYL.jpg) ![VT12 Two Pole Voltage and Continuity Tester, Yellow - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51lHzBIMhVL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Hello, can the vt12 be used for proving a circuit dead ? if not why not ? thanks** A: The VT12 can be used for proving dead, as long as it's being used with the correct proving unit that tests the entire range. The Martindale PD690S is the recommended companion unit. A dedicated voltage indicator for proving dead (such as the Martindale VI-13800) will offer a higher level of safety & confidence as they're designed with minimal failure points. **Q: How long is the lead?** A: About a metre **Q: Can this do single lead voltage detection?** A: Hello and thank you for the interest. Yes, the VT12 (as well as the VT25 and VT28) does single-pole voltage detection. This feature is designed to detect the presence of a voltage but it's not meant for proving a circuit dead. **Q: can I use this to check if my Earthing bed-sheet is actually receiving electrons from my connection!?** A: Hello and thank you for the question. The Martindale VT12 is a tool that indicates the presence of voltage or circuit continuity, but hasn't been tested for your specific application in particular. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ No sparky.
