Alarm Loz Voltmeter
“Wheel-e” includes a voltmeter with two features :
1. Alarm. While measuring resistances, “Wheel-e” watches voltages. At any moment it can raise an alarm if any hazardous voltage occurs.
2. LoZ. “Wheel-e” includes a low impedance (“LoZ”) voltmeter. This helps the operator to understand the trouble. If an alarm is raised then “Wheel-e” displays the voltage. If the value is about 240 V while the operator works on a 240 V electrical installation then it could mean “Wheel-e” has found a phase, this is a “hard” voltage. But if the value is much lower, such as 70 V, then it could mean “Wheel-e” has found a “ghost” voltage. (Any usual voltmeter would indicate 240 V.) “Ghost” voltages come from the capacitive coupling between energized and non-energized wirings. They are hazardous too. Thanks to the alarm LoZ voltmeter the operator can understand if “Wheel-e” is facing a “hard” or “ghost” voltage and this helps to diagnose the trouble.
- One single button for all the functions.
- Blue / red backlight to test at first glance if OK or not.
- Loud beep to test if OK or not without looking at the LCD.
- Mute the beep not to disturb some areas (offices).
- About 10000 checkings with the 4 AA batteries.
- Calibrate yourself periodically.
- Hanging banana plug, the wire can't unreel unintentionally.
- Replace yourself the wire if worn just by unscrewing the flange.
- Compensate at 0 ohm for the resistances of the accessories.
- 30-meter long wire to operate far from the equipotentiality reference.
- Wear it at the waist to free your hands and take care of your neck and back.
- ''AUX'' socket to test unplugged appliances while keeping connected to the reference.
- Wheel-e is made in France and adds to the Electro-PJP's range of safety accessories like telescopic poles, probes, leads, clips, socket adaptors, etc. to test equipotential bonding on sockets, lights, metal frames, heaters, plugged and unplugged appliances, etc. (The Wheel-e design and patent are registered.)
