Top 3 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

 

1. What does CAT IV 1000 V mean for this tester?

   • CAT IV 1000 V is the highest safety rating. It means the tool is designed and tested to safely handle transient voltages (spikes) up to 1000 V that occur at the source of the installation (e.g., utility connection, main service panel).

2. Does this tool measure the exact voltage value?

   • No. The GVD 1000-17 is a detector (or presence tester), not a measuring device. It alerts you to the presence of AC voltage within its defined dual range. For exact measurements, you would need a multimeter.

3. How is the dual voltage range used?

   • The 24 V to 1000 V range offers high sensitivity for detecting low voltages often found in HVAC or control circuits. The 90 V to 1000 V range is typically used for standard line voltage checks.
