Greenlee Adds to Non-Contact Voltage Detectors Lineup
Jan 17, 2020
Professionals searching for a reliable voltage detection solution have two new Greenlee options — the newly redesigned GT13 and TR13 non-contact voltage detectors. The new testers identify the presence of voltage from 50 volts to 1,000 volts AC. The redesigned GT13 and TR13 are now equipped with a more ergonomic grip and button location, along with a bright LED flashlight for use in dark work areas.
TR13 is the only non-contact voltage detector equipped with a patented dual-tip design to easily open the protective shutters on tamper-resistant and conventional receptacles to test for the presence of AC voltage. The tool is compatible with 15A and 20A, 120-volt outlets.
“It is imperative that the professional verifies the absence of power before performing any work,” said Youssef Takhchi, product manager – test and measurement for Greenlee, Emerson. “These non-contact voltage detectors offer an easy to use and dependable option to perform those tests.”
To ensure integrity of the unit, both GT13 and TR13 models are equipped with a patented automatic self-test. Every two seconds, the intelligent design checks all component circuitry assuring the tool is ready to detect AC voltage. To conserve battery life the testers will automatically turn off after five minutes.
The Greenlee GT13 and TR13 can be used to detect voltage in outlets, lighting fixtures, circuit breakers, wires and cables, or to find a break in a wire.

I once took a class where the professor would explain concepts in two ways. First, he would dive into the mathematics behind the idea, filling the whiteboard with equations and showing how they all related to one another. He tagged this “for the engineers,” Then, he would explain the concept again, but this time, with no math at all. This he said, was “for the poets.”
So why is datacom cabling twisted, but power cabling is not? It’s all about bandwidth. Power signals are of such low frequencies that they don’t need to worry about bandwidth, but datacom cables do.

As many different applications increasingly adopt Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices, such as phones, cameras, lighting, access controls, IDEAL Networks offers advice to help IT technicians handle everyday PoE troubleshooting scenarios.
“There are clear benefits of PoE for many applications, but with standards changing all the time, it can present challenges for IT technicians and cable engineers,” explains Tim Widdershoven, Marketing Director for IDEAL Networks. “Consider a Voice over IP (VoIP) phone, for example. If it doesn’t have a sticker which specifies what standard is required, technicians may not know whether the measured power passes or fails.”
