MagnEtic fiEld dEtEction


electricians and maintenance teams to quickly and safely identify live wiring and detect magnetic fields in a range of applications. All models feature a bright LED torch at the


O


point of measurement, together with both audible and visual indication, making them ideal for all types of work area including locations that are poorly lit and have a limited line of sight. The extended clear probe tip makes it easier to identify the source of the live voltage or magnetic field through improved access and brighter indication. Both the NC2 Non-contact Voltage Detector


and the NC4 Dual Sensitivity Non-contact Voltage Detector make it simple to detect the presence of AC voltages in cabling, sockets and connectors. The sensitivity of the NC2 has been optimised for 230V single and three phase systems making it ideal for identifying and tracing live mains cables in trunking and connectors. The NC4 features two sensitivity ranges which can be set according to the application and is suitable for both mains and lower voltage systems down to 12V. The Non-contact Magnetic Field Detection


ne of the most trusted brands in electrical safety, Martindale Electric’s NC Series of Non- Contact Testers enable


capabilities of the NC1 Non-contact Solenoid/Magnetic Field Tester and NC3 Non- contact Voltage and Magnetic Field Tester can be used for checking the operation of relays and solenoid valves in a wide range of machinery. This feature saves valuable time by allowing testing without having to dismantle equipment or control panels. For the dual function NC3, a bright red LED indicates voltage and a yellow LED magnetic fields. Suitable applications for both the NC1 and NC3 include troubleshooting and servicing of control equipment in process industries, energy, transportation and pneumatic and hydraulic systems. The pen-shaped design with clip is ideal for


carrying in a pocket or tool belt so that the tester is always to hand for electricians or maintenance staff working at height or in difficult to access locations. The NC series is supplied with alkaline


batteries and a comprehensive two-year guarantee. Non-contact voltage testers are a handy tool for detecting live voltages and troubleshooting faulty wiring and equipment but cannot be used for proving dead during safe isolation procedures. A two-pole voltage indicator such as the Martindale VI13800 should be used for proving dead.

SafEty all lockEd Up


artindale Electric’s range of comprehensive lock out kits have been designed to suit the needs of maintenance and installation


teams working in a range of environments. The lock out kits make it easy to ensure all types of circuits can be safely isolated prior to maintenance of plant and equipment, preventing potentially fatal accidents and enabling compliance with HSG85. The Martindale range starts with the


LOKKITBASE and extends to the LOKKITPRO, which enable circuits to be locked off once de- energised, ensuring safe maintenance schedules and compliance with the Electricity at Work Regulations. The LOKKITBASE and LOKKIT2PLUS kits both


include standard miniature circuit breaker (MCB) locking off devices and the especially small LOK10 and LOK11 for when access is limited. The kits include a PAD10R padlock with a unique key plus a marker pen and tags to ensure immediate and clear identification of circuits, work areas and personnel. For added safety, each lock is supplied with just one key, to ensure a circuit cannot be inadvertently unlocked by another user.


The LOKKITPRO features the largest range of


locking off devices available from Martindale Electric and is the ideal choice for contractors and maintenance teams working on industrial and commercial sites. It is the ultimate safe isolation kit providing a locking off solution for all sites and applications from MCBs with integrated test buttons through old style fuse holders, to switchgear requiring a cable lock approach. The kit is contained in a soft carry case, ensuring all locking off devices, tags, pen and padlock are always to hand. With the average cost of health and safety


fines trebling over the last year and around 1,000 serious accidents per year at work due to contact with electricity and 10 times as many involving electricity as a cause of the accident, compliance with Electricity at Work Regulations is clearly a priority for all.
