ACCESSIBILITY PROBES

FOR TESTING THE PROTECTION AGAINST ACCESS TO HAZARDOUS PARTS

Our complete line of accessibility probes will allow you to determine compliance with all IEC, EN, UL, CE, CSA and other international safety Standards. ED&D offers the highest quality test probes available in the world.

These probes are used to determine if accessibility exists with fingers, tools, and foreign objects to hazardous areas [involving shock hazards (voltage), energy hazards (VA) and injury hazards (i.e. moving parts)]. If you can’t tell which probe is right for your products, send us a copy of the specifications from the safety standard you are using. We can provide custom probes to meet your needs. All probe bodies are machined from high quality Delrin (extremely resistant to deformation). Certificates of Calibration included with most. Data is additional.

Low Voltage Indicator Model LUI-01 Available. Check Continuity for this model.

Test Probe Kits

Model TPK-01
Several different accessibility probe kits are available for specific standards. Kits can be created for other standards on request. Probe Kits offer substantial cost savings not to mention added convenience.
