The VeriSafe Absence of Voltage Tester is a permanently-mounted tester that is used to verify a circuit is 
de-energized prior to opening an electrical enclosure. Once installed, a push of a button enables qualified 
electrical workers to verify the absence of voltage and see an active indication when the absence of voltage is 
confirmed. The Indicator Module is designed for a 30-mm notched panel knockout and the Isolation Module can 
be mounted to DIN rail or surface mounted using screws.
