VERISAFE is UNIQUE and People’s Safety is Important. Panduit’s fully automated, permanently mounted and first-of-its-kind industry compliant tool, VeriSafe AVT - both indicates presence and tests for absence of voltage.
What are your options for verifying the absence of voltage?
1. Portable test instruments – usually a hand-held device used to detect the presence and absence of voltage. They require a manual and time-consuming process, increasing the risk of human error. Thy are susceptible to user misinterpretation and process failures, which may expose workers to electrical hazards.
2. Voltage indicators – typically installed devices, when functioning properly, these warn of the presence of voltage but do not guarantee its absence. When your voltage indicator is not illuminated, the system is de-energized. Or is it? There could be something wrong with the installation. There’s no way to know for sure that your equipment is de-energized with just a voltage indicator.
3. Verisafe AVT – Verisafe AVT uses active indications to tell you when your equipment is de-energized, so you know the absence of voltage has been verified. Seeing red? There’s a voltage present in your equipment. The push of a button activates VeriSafe AVT’s automatic absence of voltage test. Seeing yellow? The absence of voltage could not be confirmed, and you need to exercise caution. Seeing green? Absence of voltage has been verified. For the task of verifying the absence of voltage, VeriSafe AVT is both a voltage tester + voltage indicator. Before you go, be sure the light is green, with VeriSafe AVT.
