Product Overview
The Comet BS-A from HORSTMANN is a single-pole, switchable voltage detector for nominal voltages between 5 and 30 kV. The device has a built-in self-test and is designed for outdoor use in both dry and wet conditions. Indication can be either optical (1 red LED / 1 green LED) or combined optical and acoustic (1 red LED / 1 green LED / 1 buzzer). The Comet BS-A is supplied as a short model with a rotary knob for selecting voltage ranges.Features
- Single-pole, switchable voltage detector.
- Nominal voltage ranges: 5–30 kV (selectable via rotary knob).
- Built-in self-test, checking function before use.
- Indication: optical or optical + acoustic (red/green LED + buzzer).
- Designed for outdoor use, applicable in dry and wet conditions.
Typical Applications
The Comet BS-A is used to determine whether operating voltage is present ("voltage present"/"voltage not present"). According to the manufacturer, the Comet series is used in maintenance, installation, and troubleshooting where a clear indication of voltage status is required. The device's built-in self-test makes it suitable for routine functional checks before measurement.Documentation
