[Davenport, IA: March 30, 2007] - ChekVolt(TM), now C-UL listed, allows for NEMA 12/4/4X installations and is designed to increase electrical safety by diminishing the risk of arc flash. ChekVolt(TM) provides maintenance personnel a no-touch voltage portal on the outside of electrical enclosures. The ChekVolt(TM) interface, which is externally mounted on and internally wired to an electrical panel, allows maintenance personnel to use a non-contact voltage detector 'pen' to verify line voltage before and after a main disconnect is opened. This ability to pre-verify electrical isolation prior to opening an electrical panel puts an additional safety barrier between people and hazardous voltage.
Maintenance people often carry non-contact voltage detector 'pens' to quickly verify the presence of voltage in a conductor. These devices beep or flash in the presence of voltage. The ChekVolt(TM) simply extends the line voltage from the main disconnect (or other voltage source) through a wire into an encapsulated non-metallic assembly fastened to the enclosure exterior. For a low cost and reliable installation, the single point ChekVolt(TM) R-1A has 6' leads, mounts into a 0.50" (13mm) drilled hole, and can be ordered with a full line of bright yellow nameplates.
Non-contact voltage detectors typically operate from 50/90-1000VAC, which allow users to apply ChekVolt(TM) to single or 3-phase AC power systems. Optional bright yellow nameplates alert personnel to pre-verify every voltage point prior to accessing the panel interior. Nameplates offered include various power system graphics or generic single-phase/3-phase nameplates.

Grace Engineered Products also offers the VoltageVision(TM) thru-door voltage indicators. The VoltageVision(TM) (R-3W) Power Warning Alert is a 30mm pushbutton device hardwired into the load side of the main disconnect. Redundant flashing LED's provide external indication of voltage that is inside electrical system enclosures. The R-3W is cost effective and easily installed. Its inherent reliability reduces electrocution risks because it is hardwired to the voltage source and enhances LOTO procedures. The R-3W is "one-size-fits-all" and operates on 3-Phase AC/DC voltage from 40-750VAC/30-1000VDC. The VoltageVision(TM) is C-UL-US Nema 4X listed.
