KP-Test 5
Safely check for voltage
When working on electrical systems, ensuring people’s safety and preventing dama-
ge to property are top priorities. It is essential to make absolutely sure that no volta-
ge is present. PFISTERER voltage detectors combine maximum reliability and ease
of use in one device. The KP-Test 5 family results from our decades of experience in
developing safety devices with a practical focus.
Reliable self-test Double certainty
Voltage detectors in the KP-Test 5 series perform an A clear indication of the test result is essential to
automatic self-test when they are switched on. The vol- prevent accidents. That is why PFISTERER uses the

can be absolutely certain that the voltage detector is detector shows a green continuous light without a

not required. six red LEDs flash and a signal tone sounds.
Equipped for every task
Whether in confined spaces or outdoors, in sunshine or
rain, snow or frost – the KP-Test 5 delivers reliable re-
sults in all environmental conditions. Extra powerful
LEDs ensure a clearly visible signal – even against
bright lights or in strong sunlight. The acoustic signal
can be clearly heard even in noisy or windy environ-
ments due to its volume and frequency range.
Benefits
Reliable self-test
No reference measurement required
Clear signalling
Visual and acoustic signal
Use in any weather
Tested to EN 61243-1
Multilingual device labelling

KP-Test 5: medium-voltage detector for indoor and outdoor use.
Green Light
No operating voltage
present: KP-Test 5 shows a
green continuous light
without a signal tone.
Multilingual device labelling
The new device labelling is intuitive and multilingual.
Pictograms provide a rapid overview of applications and
usage. So user errors are prevented – even across
language barriers.
