The original AC Non-Contact Voltage Tester you can trust

Since the 1960’s, this iconic device is widely regarded as the best non-contact tester for AC power on the market today. It set the international standard for non-contact voltage testing. Whether conducting maintenance, repairs or responding to a high voltage emergency, you need the Modiewark AC Non-contact Tester.

Designed for all industries that use AC electricity, the Modiewark AC comes in an array of voltage settings for any environment… from 50 to over a million volts.

The Modiewark has been used by industry professionals since the early 70’s for live or dead voltage determination of overhead power lines and underground power at URD test points.

The Modiewark AC has two main functions, firstly as a proximity device to determine live or dead situations and then as a touch device to verify the tester has physically reached the AC field around designated mains under test.

The unique nature of the sensor plate within the unit allows for directional checks such as checking low voltage when high voltage is nearby. Induced voltages on isolated conductors are checked by increasing the Modiewark’s sensitivity.

The Modiewark AC is a must have when:

  • Identifying live conductors
  • Fault finding in flexible cables
  • Checking equipment grounding
  • Neon lighting servicing
  • Tracking live wires
  • Phasing conductors
  • High frequency radiation detection

Proximity and touch detection of live or dead overhead and underground power lines

The Modiewark is a non-contact voltage tester which detects the presence of an alternating electric or electromagnetic field as both a proximity and touch device.

Its unique switching action allows for the identification of alternating currents at a distance between 200 mm and 300 mm from a voltage source from 110 volts to 750,000 volts.

The Modiewark has been used by industry professionals since the early 70’s for live or dead voltage determination of overhead power lines and underground power at the URD test point. Firstly as a proximity device to determine live or dead situations and then as a touch device to verify the tester has physically reached the AC field around designated mains under test.

The Modiewark can also be used indoors on the 240/110 volt setting, tracing voltage sources from power distribution boards and cable fault detection.

The unique nature of the sensor plate within the unit allows for directional checks such as checking low voltage when high voltage is nearby. Induced voltages on isolated conductors are checked by increasing the Modiewarks sensitivity.

Radiated field strength increases with voltage and decreases with earth shielding. The radiated field from a cable of closely bunched conductors supplied by three phase power tends to cancel. Detecting distance of a 240 volt single live wire is approximately 100mm and with a bunched neutral and earth, as a flexible cable, the distance is 50mm. 

Case Configurations

The Modiewark casing and handle are designed to channel a flashover around the internal circuit and into the battery housing. Please note any damage to the head of the Modiewark will result in failure the unit must be taken out of service and repaired.

The Modiewark tester can now be fitted with moisture and dust proof fittings for harsh environments and provides an IP63 rating.

Handles

The standard Modiewark is supplied with a sunrise (universal) fitting to allow the attachment of an insulation extension stick (hot stick) for all high voltage applications. A standard or plain handle can be requested without this fitting.

Self Testing Functions

The Modiewark is available with and without a self test function. This continuous self checking of the Modiewark non-contact voltage tester provides an essential safety feature that:

  • Provides a circuit test.  A signal is generated within the unit and is passed to the sensor detection plate and then through the entire circuit, proving the circuit is active and in good working order.
  • Provides a test to prove that the visual and audio indicators are working correctly.
    The visual indicator is produced by three long life LEDs which provides the tester with two redundant light sources.Note: If audio or visual indicators are faulty take out of service and return for repair.
  • Battery Low Indicator.With a full battery charge of 4.5 volts the interval between the standby pulse is 1 second, as the battery power is lowered the pulse becomes further apart until it reaches 2.5 volts where the pulse becomes infrequent and stops. It is recommended to change the battery at a two second interval.

 

Please note that all Australian models must be sold with the self test function.

Battery Replacement

The batteries are placed in the handle with the positive side to the top. A battery strap is placed into the handle coil end first. When the batteries are placed in the handle shake to allow the battery strap to fall into the correct position.

Screw the handle with batteries inside to the head unit, with a firm twist in a clock-wise direction.

The Modiewark uses 3 C size Alkaline, Lithium or rechargeable batteries.

Part Identification

A Modiewark can be fitted with wings or depth limiters, these limiters allow the unit from entering restricted compartments and allow constant depth readings over many tests over time. 

If using an insulation stick, place the unit onto the stick using the sunrise (universal) fitting or the bayonet adaptor fitting.

If using handheld, hold the Modiewark unit by the handle below the sunrise fitting.

  1. Turn the unit on to the 240 volt switch setting the first switch setting. This will allow for the most sensitive voltage detection.
  2. Screw the spout into the spout head by placing the pin in the socket and turn in a clockwise direction. As the spout is being screwed in the unit self test function will activate indicating that the spout is being screwed in and is working properly.

Note: The spout tester will not activate if the spout is disconnected preventing the unit being used without a sensor plate.

  1. Hold the unit in the left of right hand by the handle below the sunrise fitting or for higher voltages an insulation stick or hot stick is recommended.
  2. Listen and watch for the self testing function which will start automatically. If this does not occur there may be a few possibilities to consider before taking out of service:-
    • Remove the handle and check that the batteries are placed in the correct way and the battery strap is in place, shake handle and re-screw into place.
    • If the self test is still unresponsive the unit may be faulty take out of service and return for repair.
    • If the pulses are 2 to 3 seconds apart or greater this indicates a low battery status and batteries will need to be replaced.
    • The spout is not screwed in correctly undo spout and clean pin and check if pin is in good order re-screw in spout.
  3. To verify the tester using outside influences:-
    • Place the tester against live power outlet or equivalent above 110 volts AC.
    • Rub the instrument head as marked on cloth or clothing to obtain static charge.
    • Set switch at 35kV Overhead setting and place head of unit as marked against the spark plug of a running truck or car engine.
    • Use the Modielive tester to test the activation of the unit on the 240 volt setting.
  4. Point the end of the spout detector towards the area under test.
  1. If no tone is heard at this point on the 240 volt setting move the tester closer to the conductor under test, until the head of the tester is almost touching the conductor at this point the voltage is below 50 volts ac.
  2. If the tester activates meters away from the known source, this may not prove the signal being picked up is from that source. Use the voltage range switch to determine the voltage required for the voltage test, by moving the switch settings higher as you approach the power source under test. The unit is designed to activate 200 to 300mm away from the voltage source hand held.
