Description

Wave the pen near any wire or socket and it tells you instantly — red, yellow or green plus an audible alarm. No probes into metal, no guesswork, no shock.

Safe non-contact electrical voltage detection with zero fire line judgment

Solves
  • Danger of direct contact with live wires
  • Difficulty determining voltage levels quickly
  • Need for separate tools (voltage tester and flashlight)

Know a wire is live before you ever touch it

Wave the pen near any wire or socket and it tells you instantly — red, yellow or green plus an audible alarm. No probes into metal, no guesswork, no shock.

Three Warnings Before You Touch

Color-coded LED voltage level diagram: red=high, yellow=medium, green=low

Three colors tell you the voltage level

Red for high, yellow for medium, green for low gives an instant glance verdict no neon tester offers. Even in a dark panel, the glowing LED window is unmistakable.

Non-contact NCV with triple alarm

Light, color and sound fire together — a rapid beep and flashing red grab your attention even in noisy job sites or sun glare. You don't need to look directly at the indicator to know there's danger.

Specifications list highlighting LED flashlight, NCV detection, and 10% sensitivity increase

A flashlight that's always there

Built-in LED lights the junction box, crawlspace or attic so you test and see with one hand and one tool. No fumbling for a separate light while your other hand holds the pen.

Tune out the false alarms

Three sensitivity buttons let you dial detection up for deep wiring or down to avoid ghost voltage. One press cycles through sensitivity modes so the pen works in dense panels without random triggering.

Detect Voltage In Two Seconds

  1. 1
    Power on and set sensitivity

    Press any button to wake the pen. Tap the sensitivity button to cycle through low, medium or high — start high for general detection, then dial down if you get false signals.

  2. 2
    Sweep the probe near the target

    Hold the probe tip close to the wire, outlet or cable. You don't need to touch metal — the NCV sensor detects the electric field through insulation.

  3. 3
    Read the color and listen

    Red glow and rapid beeping means high voltage; yellow and moderate beeping medium; green and slow beeping low. No light and no sound means it's safe to proceed.

Tester, Light And Probe In One

  • Probe tip attachment×1

    For direct socket testing, clicks securely onto the pen

  • 2 AAA batteries

From risky assumptions to safe checks

  1. 1
    The wire you thought was dead

    You're inches away, screwdriver in hand, and a faint voice says 'it should be off.' That hesitation is your body knowing what your tools haven't confirmed.

  2. 2
    Guessing is not a safety plan

    A neon screwdriver needs direct metal contact and gives one dim glow. A multimeter ties up both hands with leads. Neither answers the first question — is it live? — with the glance-and-go speed you need.

  3. 3
    A warning before contact

    This pen speaks first. Wave it near a wire and the clear probe tip glows, the alarm sounds, and the LED panel lights the color that matches the voltage. No guesswork, no contact.

  4. 4
    Three jobs, one pocket

    Voltage detector, break tracer, and flashlight live in a single matte black body. One tool that replaces three, so every bag carries a full safety check.

Questions and answers

Does it detect voltage through wire insulation and wall plates?
w
Wanelo · seller

Yes. Place the probe tip near the wire or hold it against a wall plate over a live cable and the alarm triggers. It works through standard PVC insulation and drywall, but sensitivity level may need adjustment for deeply buried wires.

Can I adjust the sensitivity to stop false alarms?
w
Wanelo · seller

Absolutely. Three sensitivity buttons let you cycle through low, medium and high. Use low for crowded junction boxes where multiple wires can cause cross-talk, or high when the wire is several inches behind a surface.

Will it work on both outlets and bare wires in a junction box?
w
Wanelo · seller

Yes. Insert the probe into an outlet slot or sweep it across bare conductors. The triple alarm (light, color, sound) will indicate live voltage either way.

How does it indicate high vs low voltage?
w
Wanelo · seller

The LED window glows red for high voltage (typically 70-1000V AC), yellow for medium, and green for low. A rapid beeping pattern and flashing light also intensifies with higher voltage.

Does the flashlight and alarm run on the same battery?
w
Wanelo · seller

Yes. Both functions are powered by the two AAA batteries inside the handle. Battery life is generous; the pen automatically powers down to conserve energy when idle.

Is it safe for home DIY use, not just professionals?
w
Wanelo · seller

Designed for anyone who needs to verify a circuit is dead before touching it. The non-contact detection keeps fingers away from metal, and the audible alarm leaves no room for misinterpretation. Still, always test on a known live source first to confirm the pen is working.
