May 23, 2007 -- The National Association of Certified Home Inspectors (NACHI)
announced today that it has partnered with The Electrical Guru and NACHI
Electrical Consultant, Paul Abernathy to bring the "Official" NACHI
Voltage Ticker to our members at discount prices.
Countless lives are lost every year from electrical hazards and with the
NACHI Voltage Ticker the home inspector will now know when a conduit,
metal enclosure, hanging wires in attics and crawl spaces and so on are
live and a potential safety hazard.
The NEW NACHI Voltage Ticker is a hand-held device for determining the
presence or absence of 50-1000 volts AC in insulated wires, wall
receptacles, fuses, junction boxes, switches and other voltage-carrying
electrical systems. It is not necessary to disconnect the system in
question because no contact is required for operation and current flow
is not necessary to locate voltage. Simply touch the plastic tip to a
connection point or move it along a wire, touch it to metal enclosure
screws, stick the end into a receptacle slot, touch it against exposed
metal piping in crawl spaces, attics before touching and so on which can
save lives. If AC voltage is present, the tip will glow red and you
will hear an audible tone.
The "NACHI" Voltage Ticker, the exact same model is the choice of OSHA.
Has a new feature, an audio alert! You not only get a visual alert, but
an audio alert as well. Another important feature of the NACHI® Voltage
Ticker is that the audio alert reacts only to an AC voltage field, and
will not beep when it comes in contact with a static field.
There is no ON/OFF switch on The "OFFICIAL" NACHI Voltage Ticker.
Switches can wear out over time or even malfunction. Because the NACHI®
Voltage Ticker has no switch it is always ready to use and has simple
AAA replaceable batteries.
Normal pricing is set at $ 29.95, However for NACHI members in good
standing the cost is $ 20.95 plus $ 3.95 S/H.
