"There is no ON/OFF switch on The "OFFICIAL" NACHI Voltage Ticker. Switches can wear out over time or even malfunction. Because the NACHI® Voltage Ticker has no switch it is always ready to use and has simple AAA replaceable batteries."

Does it shut off automatically or just run until the battery dies?

[W. Michael Chris]

Good question Larry . . . would be nice to have a picture as well.

[Nick Gromicko]

I'd imagine it only lights and beeps when it senses voltage.

A PIC is forthcoming, it has "NACHI" printed on it.

Good deal!

[Paul W. Abernathy]

It shuts off itself....always waiting to be ready when it senses AC Voltage. I have one myself and have not replaced the batteries in it for nearly 3 years now and still keeps on ticking.

No one should leave home without it!

I bought my first voltage ticker from Granger when I was hanging out between classes in college. My HVAC partner, who called me the gadget guru said "hey let me try that newfangled gadget of yours", when we were working on a school HVAC unit under the supervision of the school maintenance director (who was also the county electrical AHJ).

My partner said "hey, why won't this light shut off " !?!??

The 460 VAC three-phase disconnect had one leg jumped past the disconnect (so it didn't have to be replaced)!!!

If he didn't try my gadget, it probably would be the last thing he ever did!
I have given away dozens of these things to people as gifts since then.

I simply forgot this guys...if you do not have a FAX you can e-mail order forms as well to Ticker@theelectricalguru.com as well.

Paul,

Is it anything like this?
Greenlee GT-15

[Paul W. Abernathy]

Nope....I dont like the Greenlee ones...they go off on static and have a on/off switch that can be left on to wear out the battery. My helper had one of those until he switched to the one I have now.

But as far as the principle of how they function...most certainly like those.

[Paul W. Abernathy]

The best feature of the "NACHI" ticker is this.....it has a range from 50V to 100V.....static electricity, induction voltage and so on will not cause the audio to go off...the light may light but no sound...this is exclusive.

This keeps you from calling out mistakes that are a product of induction or static....and to truly know if the circuit or items is LIVE and truly has AC Voltage on the system.

Hi Nick,
Although it sounds good most people would like to have a photo so that they can visualize what they are about to buy.
{Does that sound like a basic marketing technique?}

So..... How about a photo?

PS:
congratulations on your Toronto convention, I hear nothing but terrific reviews about it.
Keep up the good work!

[Paul W. Abernathy]

As nick stated we are still waiting on the photo.....figured it is not a one night thing....meaning it will be around for a while and photo's are coming as they are being made as we speak.

Nothing wrong with releasing the information before pictures.....I am sure the picture will be simply of a unit with the NACHI name on it...nothing more and nothing less but I do expect it very soon....like within days or sooner.

The one made by "Fluke" is the best one on the market.

[Paul W. Abernathy]

And how would you qualify that statement...I would be interested in knowing other than it is from Fluke?

Fluke - Choose a model to detect 20 - 90 Volts or 90 - 1000 Volts AC

• Model 1AC-A1-II, 90 to 1000 VAC
• Model 1LAC-A-II, 20 to 90 VAC

Now....why would you carry two....since the Nachi version works from 50V -1000V AC and anything below that is probably static....and the NACHI version will only audio when it is truly AC voltage.....will the fluke....NOT...

You'd think an organization of home inspectors might have a digital camera so they could take a picture of a tool. You'd think.....
