High-Voltage Detectors

Safely check for the presence of voltage in high-voltage equipment and lines. This noncontact detector checks for voltage by sensing electrostatic fields when brought near the electrical component. Light and sound alerts indicate voltage.

Light Monitors

Continuously monitor light quality, intensity, and density in light-sensitive environments, such as photo labs and pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities. While light meters spot-measure intensity in a specific area, these monitors give you detailed readings for an extended period. They combine a light sensor, transmitter, and digital display unit. Configurable alarm outputs notify you when light levels are outside of a set range. These monitors are IP rated for protection against dust and splashing water.

A 5 ft. cable lets you keep your display visible while you check light levels in dim or hard-to-reach areas. You can mount the digital display to your wall for easy viewing with the included fasteners. If you want to mount the transmitter to a wall or onto DIN rail, connect it to the included adapter rail.

For setup, connect the light meter to the transmitter, and the transmitter to the display. Everything needs to be wired together with 4-20 mA wire (not included). You need to wire the transmitter to a 90 to 260 ACV power supply. Wiring instructions are included.

Indoor Environmental Meters

Measure airflow, light, humidity, and temperature with a single, pocket-sized tool. These meters have built-in sensors that can detect multiple environmental factors in your plant or office. This helps you maintain safety compliance and track energy efficiency. A data hold function lets you freeze a measurement on the screen, giving you time to write it down. Additionally, they have the memory to store your high and low measurements. These meters are also known as hygro-thermo-anemometers.

They’re CE marked as compliant with European health, safety, and environmental standards.

Light Meters for UV Light

Measure the intensity of UV light to track equipment performance and ensure safety. These meters are often used in sterilization systems, curing applications—such as coatings and adhesives—and for monitoring blue-light UV radiation from welding equipment. All have a data hold function, allowing you to keep measurements on the screen so you have time to write them down. To preserve battery life, they shut off automatically. These meters are CE marked as meeting European safety standards.

Always wear UV-protective glasses and clothing when collecting measurements. These meters are not for use with lasers.
