Hi, I'm currently looking for a Fluke VoltAlert, and up until now I didn't realize that there are so many variations of it. What I've found so far are the 1AC-II VoltAlert and the 2AC VoltAlert. The former has auto power off after 5 minutes and the later is always enabled (but there's nothing about battery lifetime in the 2 pages manual). Which version should I get? Or is there even a third version? Thanks, Thilo. P.S. It's for hobby use only, i.e., just to be safe from the mains. |

I've had it for 2 years and it's awesome. |

I just did a review of the LVD2: |

Recently I have bought 1AC-II C from chinese vendor. Only gripe I have is that the tip doesn't always fit into Euro style sockets. And it's not sensitive enough (which should be a good thing), so it doesn't always pick up voltage unless it's in contact with live wire. If you will be working on quality type Euro sockets (I have Legrand ones), it can be potentialy dangerous, you can't insert the tip all the way and voltalert may not come on. This is the only issue I have found so far, of course Fluke couldn't (wouldn't) figure out hot to make universal tip... Regarding the battery life, I think that 1AC should be OK for at least a year of medium usage. |
