Maintenance people carry non-contact voltage detector 'pens' to quickly verify the presence of voltage in a conductor. These devices beep or flash in the presence of voltage.
The ChekVolt® simply extends the line voltage from the main disconnect (or other voltage source) through a wire into an encapsulated non-metallic assembly fastened to the enclosure exterior.
The ChekVolt™ interface installs into a 1/2” (13mm) drilled hole. All nameplates simplify field installations with drilling locator tabs. Install Qty (3) R-1A for 3-phase applications.

1.) Verify proper operation of Non-Contact Voltage Detector (NCVD). With the Isolator closed and the electrical panel powered, verify the the NCVD indicates voltage when completely inserted into the bottom of the recessed area of the ChekVolt™ interface (figure 1). If the NCVD does not indicate voltage, then proceed with Lock-out Tagout (LOTO) procedure as per NFPA 70E Annex G or other approved procedure).
2.) Open the isolator, insert the NCVD individually into the indent of each installed R-1A interface (one for each phase). If the phases have been isolated, then the NCVD should not sense voltage on each R-1A interface and the panel has been pre-verified. From here on, follow approved electrical LOTO procedure.
1.) A ChekVolt® interface is designed to be installed into a securely grounded metallic electrical enclosure within 6 feet of a voltage source as per state and local codes.
2.) After the ChekVolt® interface has been located, drill a ½”(13mm) hole, and install ChekVolt® into the hole. Tighten the threaded nut until the gasket has compressed approximately 80%.
3.) For nameplate installations, remove the adhesive backing, and affix the nameplate to the enclosure. Use the nameplate locator tabs to center the drill. Secure nameplate in the corners with a #4 self tapping screw or type U drive screw. Once completed, break off the locator tab and install ChekVolt™ as per step #2.
4.) Securely terminate the lead wire to the voltage source.
