Your cart is empty.These AC/DC Voltage Detectors from Santronics are ideal for just about any application. Simply touch the tic tracer's tip to a terminal strip, outlet, or supply cord, and when the tip glows red, you know that voltage is present. Their compact design makes them easy to transport and keeps them readily available for use on a jobsite. Each tic tester gives you visual or audio indications of power detection, and needs no contact with conductors to be activated. Compact “pen-sized” design for easy transport and accessibility Constructed of non-conductive polycarbonate for additional safety Covered by one or more of the following patents 6,828,767 & 5,103,165 UL 1436 Made in the USA Ideal for use in: Service, maintenance Automotive Electricians Telecommunications Aviation Trucks/RV’s Marine Industrial Controls Office Equipment [custom1] Cable Certification CAT III (UL), CAT IV (TUV) Outer Surface Non-conductive body, probe and cap composed of injected molded high-impact nonflammable polycarbonate, with a dielectric of 220 Volts AC potential at 60 Hertz Operating Voltage 50-1000 Volts AC Batteries Operating Temperature -20° C to +55° C Circuit Board Surface mounted components on FR-4 substrate Light Source One high-intensitySMD LED for maximum illumination Weight 46.2 grams with batteries Dimensions 5.85” length; .70” width; .56” height Breakdown Voltage 4000+ Volts AC Test Lead Wire n/a Tip Material n/a Interior Conductor Strip n/a Operating Principle This instrument senses the electrical field produced by AC voltage through insulation, without touching the conductor. A constant bright red glow with alternating sound will indicate the presence of AC voltage [/custom1] [custom2] Datasheet [/custom2]

I'm a home inspector and I've used a lot of these type non contact voltage detectors and this is the best brand yet. For what I do the detector shouldn't be too sensitive. A detector which is too sensitive is no use to me. This one is just right. I can touch it to the hot side of an outlet and it beeps but won't on the neutral. It's always on which I like and it beeps and flashes when you touch it to a hot wire. Also it looks sturdy. A good product I'll buy again.

This has been a great tester that is basic but does what it needs to do. I don't need all the bells and whistles just want to make sure when there is power to a device.

I am an electrician and use this tool daily. It is always in my pocket and works great.The fact that it has no switch on it it is PERFECT. I had couple brands with switch on it, the switch goes bad quickly or sometimes I forget to press the switch.Amazing tool. You won't regret.

Everyone knows how frustrating NCVT’s can be. The cheap ones work, but not reliably, & sometimes stop working.I took a few NFPA courses, and the electrical instructor recommended the Santronics 3115 tester, as it’s the only one approved by OSHA.I got one, and it’s great. But an audio NCVT is also useful & Santronics 3000 fits that bill.It’s every bit as accurate & tough as the 3115, and doesn’t have any of the stupid bells & whistles of “fancier†units. Santronics is also the only American company making NCVT’s. I’m a facility maintenance worker at a hospital, so we are frequently testing & repairing electrical devices & circuits. I’d had a couple Klein’s over the years, & an excellent Fluke tester.The Klein’s are good, but seem to have long term reliability issues. My Fluke is actually made by Santronics, but their newer units are not. Fluke’s newer models also require a separate tester for low voltage.Pros:• Always on• Bright Light• Loud Beep• Aside from minor bumps which make it flash, I haven’t had any false positives or negatives.• Polycarbonate construction is really tough• Made in the USA• Great PriceCons:• Unlike the Santronics 3115, which visual only, the 3000 is not OSHA approved. Probably a bureaucratic thing, as the 3115 is the ONLY OSHA approved tester.

The audible warning is not reliable and over all the voltage detection is not as good as the original. The OG is the best voltage detector there is and this is sadly worse.

Over many years of purchasing many "death sticks" produced by all the major manufacturers and we all use the same ones. This is the only one that I've found that gives you a reading without any confusion about which wire is really registering.
