Detailed information

The IDEAL® Dual Range Non-Contact Voltage Tester (model 61-657) is an essential tool for professionals, designed to handle both high and low voltage applications with ease. This CAT IV 1000 V AC, UL Listed tester automatically detects and indicates voltages between 12 to 1000V AC (Low Range) and 50 to 1000V AC (High Range) at the push of a button. IDEAL® for everyday tasks and specialized needs, it excels at detecting low voltage in doorbells, thermostats, and standard voltage in tamper-resistant outlets, making it both versatile and reliable. Engineered to withstand tough conditions, it can endure drops from 6.6 ft (2 m) and boasts IP67 protection against moisture and debris. The tester uses a non-contact voltage detection system with an antenna enclosed in plastic at the tip. When powered on, the green LED tip illuminates, switching to a red flashing LED and an audible beep that increases in frequency as the voltage level rises. Powered by two 1.5V AAA batteries, this tester also features a convenient LED flashlight in the tip, an audible disable function for noise-sensitive environments, a lanyard tie-off point, auto power off, and low battery indication. The IDEAL® 61-657 is the ultimate tool for ensuring electrical safety with precision and ease.

  • UL Certified CAT IV 1000V AC, 12-1000 V AC low range, 50 to 1000 V AC high range
  • Senses two voltage ranges 12-1000V AC or 50-1000V AC allowing detection of low voltage (doorbells, thermostats, etc.) and standard voltage in tamper-resistant outlets when the tip is located near the Hot receptacle and/or Hot Connection point on the outlet
  • Dust tight and waterproof (1 m for 30 minutes) industrial design makes this tester easy to grip and capable of sustaining a drop from 6.5 ft (2 m)
  • LED Flashlight in the tip operates independently of the tester functions and can be used to illuminate the work area
  • Flashlight auto powers off after five minutes to conserve battery
  • Audible notification disable with the simple press of speaker button – tester can be operated with a visual only indication of voltage when working in noise sensitive or restricted areas
  • Auto power off after 10 minutes of inactivity – the tester will emit one long beep (0.5s) and then shut off
  • Low battery indication

The only fish tape on the market with a digital screen reader 🔥

I would absolutely recommend these lever connectors and will surely be using them in the future! Those connectors were super easy to work with, didn’t seem flimsy like other brands, and were super easy to install as well as remove
