IT’S SAFE TO SAY, WE CARE ABOUT SAFETY
YES, we’re still as serious about safety as we were last month – it’s our new year’s resolution, and we hope it’s yours too!
What is ChekVolt®? This innovative tool allows you to test for the absence of voltage and provides a voltage presence indication, all without the need to open the enclosure door. The touch-safe, compact PESD® features voltmeter-compatible test points and redundant LED indicators for voltage presence. The ChekVolt® can be quickly installed through a single 30mm knockout and includes four 14 AWG lead wires, which are securely potted in the construction.
PESDs® are designed to meet the NFPA 70E 120.5(7) standards, requiring UL 61010 testing to verify the absence of voltage with high-impedance protected test points. While new methods for testing absence of voltage have been introduced, they do not replace or invalidate the use of UL 61010 devices. Compliance with the test point PESDs® remains valid without any exceptions.
LET’S LOOK AT THE KEY FEATURES OF GRACE PESDS®:
- Permanent Electrical Safety Devices (PESDs®) answer the most important question while performing Lockout/Tagout (LOTO): Is there voltage? These externally mounted devices include voltage presence LED indicators, voltmeter compatible absence of voltage test points, and combination configurations.
- PESDs® are certified to UL 61010 and enhance safety by supporting the steps outlined in NFPA 70E 120.5: “Process for Establishing and Verifying an Electrically Safe Work Condition” and have proven to reduce LOTO procedure times by 35-40 minutes.
- Voltage Presence: Voltage indicator PESDs® illuminate when hazardous voltage is present until stored electrical energy is released, providing a warning of potential harm when maintenance personnel believe equipment to be in a de-energized state.
- Voltage Absence: When performing an absence of voltage test per NFPA 70E 120.5(7), Safe-Test PointTM and ChekVolt® PESDs® feature high impedance protected test points that allow a qualified electrician to safely test phase-to-phase and phase-to-ground using an adequately rated portable test instrument.
