Product Overview
This Comet BS-I voltage detector from HORSTMANN is an indoor, shortened single-pole voltage detector with integrated self-test. The Comet BS-I (order no. 50-0923-001) features a three-position selector switch for three nominal voltage ranges and offers visual and acoustic indication for "voltage present" or "no voltage".
Functional Features
- Shortened single-pole voltage detector with built-in self-test.
- Select from three nominal voltage ranges: 5–10 kV, 10–20 kV, and 20–30 kV.
- Optical and acoustic indication: one red LED, one green LED, and buzzer (indoor model with optical and acoustic indication is order no. 50-0923-001).
- Power management via two lithium cells.
- Operating temperature range: -25 °C to +70 °C.
Typical Applications
The Comet BS-I is used to determine whether a conductor is live or not live. According to the manufacturer's product information, the Comet series is used in connection with maintenance, installation, or troubleshooting as a function to verify the presence of operating voltage before further work.
