Comet BL‑I — Single-Pole Capacitive Voltage Detector
The Comet BL‑I from HORSTMANN is a single-pole, capacitive voltage detector designed for indoor use in dry conditions. The device (order no. 50-0901-022) is specified for 20–30 kV and provides visual voltage indication via one red LED and one green LED. The Comet BL‑I features an integrated self-test that checks the circuit, including the contact electrode, before use.
Technical Description
The device is precisely described by the manufacturer as a robust measuring instrument for verifying the presence of voltage. The Comet BL‑I is supplied with two lithium cells for power, and Horstmann states an operational readiness time of six years with 10 standby cycles per day and 230 working days per year. The operating temperature range is specified from −25 °C to +70 °C, and the product series is listed according to IEC 61243-1 (VDE 0682-411) category S.
Typical Applications
Used to determine the presence of voltage in dry indoor conditions within the range of 20–30 kV. The device is intended for direct contact point checking via a contact electrode and presumes use within the application area and climate class indicated by the manufacturer.
