Why Choose the VT‑320?
- Wide measurement range covers both low‑voltage (12/24 V) systems and standard mains up to 690 V—making it versatile for automotive, industrial and domestic applications.
- Simple, intuitive design: just connect the probes and you’ll get immediate optical/acoustic feedback—great for fast checks and safety verification.
- Includes advanced features such as phase‑sequence detection and polarity indication, which many basic testers lack.
Usage & Safety Tips
- Although the range is wide, always **verify** the test category and the condition of your probes before working on high‑voltage systems—wear appropriate PPE and follow safe practices.
- The tester is **not** non‑contact: probes must be inserted appropriately. Do *not* rely on it for detecting hidden live conductors without contact. :contentReference[oaicite:14]{index=14}
- For continuity tests or live system checks, ensure the battery (9 V) is installed and in good condition for reliable indication.
- While the device indicates presence of voltage/polarity/phase, it may *not* measure with the precision of a full digital multimeter. Use accordingly for quick verification tasks.
