Santronics 3000 Non-Contact Tester

The Santronics 3000 is a pen-sized non-contact voltage tester that detects AC voltage from 50 to 1000 volts. It is built for licensed electricians, home inspectors and facility maintenance crews who need instant confirmation of live conductors in residential, commercial or light industrial settings. The always-on design requires no switch to activate, so the tool is ready the moment it leaves a pocket or tool bag.

Verify CAT IV Rating Matches Your Work

Before ordering, confirm that your tasks involve environments covered by the IEC 61010 CAT IV rating such as service entrances, outdoor distribution lines or main service panels. The tester is calibrated to separate hot wires from neutral and ground lines in crowded junction boxes, but it only detects alternating current within the stated 50 to 1000 volt range. Ensure this range covers every circuit you plan to test.

High-Impact Polycarbonate Body With Dual Alerts

The body is moulded from non-flammable high-impact polycarbonate rated to survive drops, rough tool bags and daily job-site abuse. A bright LED and a loud audible beep trigger together the moment voltage is detected, giving clear confirmation in noisy or dimly lit areas. The pen format fits a shirt pocket and has no moving switch to wear out or fumble with during repetitive checks.

Questions about this item

What comes with the Santronics 3000 and what must I buy separately?

The tester ships as a single pen-sized unit with no on/off switch. Batteries are not included and must be purchased separately before first use.

Which detection range suits residential versus commercial panels?

The 3000 covers 50 to 1000 VAC, so the same model handles household circuits and light-industrial service entrances without needing a different version.

What does the CAT IV 1000 V rating mean when I am testing a main service panel?

CAT IV per IEC 61010 certifies the tester for use at the origin of low-voltage installations, including outdoor distribution lines and main panels up to 1000 volts.
