Testing Accessories & Leads

Testing accessories and leads are the leads, clips and testers used with meters and for checking cables, sockets and detectors. From Mercury come multimeter test leads, a set of ten crocodile clip leads and a non-contact voltage test pen; from Knightsbridge, a BS 1363 socket tester and a 2-pole voltage tester; and from GJD, a walk tester for installing its D-TECT systems.

Choosing Testing Accessories & Leads

Start from the job in hand: taking measurements with a meter, proving whether a cable is live, checking a socket after fitting, or setting up a detector.

Test leads and crocodile clips

The Mercury 600.708UK is a pair of red and black multimeter test leads for measurements up to 1000V and 20A. The Mercury 780.011UK is a set of 10 test leads in five colours, red, black, green, yellow and white, two of each. Every lead in the set is 500 mm long with soft plastic insulated 25mm crocodile clips on both ends.

Voltage testers

The Knightsbridge TE1 is an IP64 CAT III 2-pole tester that measures voltages from 12 to 690V AC/DC on an LED and LCD display. It has a self-proving function, a built-in torch, auto power on/off and probe covers, is certified to EN 61243-3, and needs 2 x AAA batteries, not included. The Mercury 710.030UK is a non-contact voltage test pen with a 90-1000VAC test range. It beeps and flashes red when held within 1cm of a live source, has a switchable torch LED, and requires 2x AAA batteries, which are supplied.

Socket tester

The Knightsbridge TE3 is a compact, mains powered BS 1363 socket tester for testing sockets after fitting. It tests for common wiring faults and gives an easy to read diagnosis on a clear fault display.

Walk tester for D-TECT detectors

The GJD380 walk tester is a tool for installing GJD D-TECT systems. It confirms detection with a sound and a bright white LED, which helps with positioning during long-range setup. It runs on a 9V PP3 battery, not included, and the GJD380 works from -20°C to +55°C.
