Featuring a built-in LED flashlight, auto power-off for battery conservation, and a rugged 6-foot drop-tested pen-style design, it meets UL and CAT IV 600V safety standards. Ideal for electricians and engineers, it quickly identifies live circuits in outlets, switches, and breakers, enhancing safety and efficiency on every job. ## Description Make the Southwire 40116N AC non-contact voltage (NCV) pen tester a valuable addition to your tool bag. Use it whenever you perform electrical work to identify where voltage is present. Detects voltage in wires; light switches; circuit breakers; outlets and light fixtures. Press the On button and the detection tip glows green. Move the detector tip close to the electrical wire or device being tested. If voltage is detected; the detection tip will change from green to red and begin flashing. The NCV will also beep loudly. The 40116N can also be inserted directly into electrical outlets to verify operation. All Southwire non-contact voltage detectors come with a built-in focused LED flashlight so you can illuminate dark areas. Auto power off feature helps conserve battery power. As an added safety feature; the 40116N has a low-battery self test which periodically checks the condition of the batteries. If battery voltage becomes too low; the self-test circuit turn off the non-contact voltage detector until the batteries are replaced. The 40116N is UL listed. Not designed for use with Tamper Resistant (TR) outlets. Review: Works Great! Makes Life Much Easier! - After years of using multimeters to determine if a circuit is live, I finally decide to buy a non-contact voltage tester. Boy, am I happy that I did. The dangerous part of working on 110 V circuits is to try to get to the black (line voltage, hot wires) behind a light switch or plug, along with neutral (white). In my case, the yahoos who owned the house in the past did something beyond goofy, going into stupid territory. They spray painted the wires all white when they painted the walls. Now, imagine trying to probe the wires and not being sure what's what because they are all the same color! Even if it's different colors, there's always the risk of an electrical shock when you remove the wire nuts securing the connections. You're also holding the probes, plus the multimeter itself. If something slips, your instinct is to catch it, which means you might brush against a live wire. Having a NCVD makes life a lot easier. As always, test on a live circuit prior to each and every use, to make sure the tester still works.

Push in with pin or pencil point and pull the back of the tester out exposing the circuitry. Roll the tester over opposite the pocket clip and the two AAA batteries are exposed. **Q: Does this model make a different tone on nuetral and hot? Its hard to tell which review goes to which model.** A: The 40116N only produces one tone when it detects AC Voltage. **Q: Is this product made in the USA?** A: No…. It says in description - product origin China **Q: The tester I received is defective. I am either needing replaced or a refund. I have purchased this product before and am generally satisfied.** A: Souethwire and will be free of defects in material and workmanship (“Defects”) for 12 months following ship date, under normal use and regular service and maintenance ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works Great!
