Abstract

A hand held voltage sensor in which a low impedance test lamp mode or a high impedance voltage test mode is selectable via a thumb accessed slide switch. In the high impedance mode, three light emitting elements provide indication of the value of voltage potential between a probe conductor and an associated ground conductor being above, below or pulsing above an adjustable threshold level.
