The CHANCE® Proximity Voltage Indicator was designed meet the requests of utility and line crews who require a non-contact (or proximity) voltage detector.To meet this need,
Bevins developed a safe and consistent PVI that uses nanotechnology to allow linemen to make diagnostic measurements of the electromagnetic fields developed around AC energized conductors.Designed to offer a proximity electric field intensity meter for voltages above 480 volts, and a near-field sensing device for voltages below 480 volts.
FEATURES & DETAILS- Portable & easy to use
- Confirms AC conditions quickly & remotely
- Determine approximate phase-to-phase voltage classes up to 500kVAC
- New lightweight design using nanotechnology
- Auto Ranging, capacitive test point through 500kV
- User-defined minimum range feature prevents nuisance audibles
- Meets intent of OSHA 1910.269 to test for absence of nominal voltage
- Auto-off mode after 15 minutes to extend battery life
- Easy access battery replacement
- Can be used with Lithium AA batteries
- Test functionality with Field Tester (PSC4033582)
CUTTING EDGE FEATURE: USER-DEFINED OPTIONTo prevent nuisance audibles in known voltage situations the PVI provides a new User-Defined Option that temporarily disables indications and alarm for voltages below the user's selected range.The sensing LED continues to function normally in both modes.
