Bosch GVD 1000-17 Voltage Tester, Safe Non-Contact Detection, IP67 Self-Test

The Bosch GVD 1000-17 is a non-contact voltage tester designed for fast and reliable voltage detection on construction sites. Rugged, IP67-rated, and equipped with a self-test function, it is ideal for electricians, maintenance technicians, plumbers, heating engineers, and HVAC technicians who demand reliability and ease of use. Its compact design allows for instant voltage verification, from the electrical panel to sockets, light fixtures, extension cords, and site distribution boxes, even in demanding environments.

Main features

• Non-contact detection to check for the presence of voltage without touching bare conductors, limiting risks.
• Integrated self-test to validate the proper functioning of the device before each use.
• IP67 rating : dustproof and waterproof, ideal for damp construction sites and harsh environments.
• Clear visibility thanks to easily readable indicator lights, even in dimly lit areas.
• Professional ergonomics : pen format, secure grip, one-handed use and access to tight spaces.
• High responsiveness for rapid diagnostics in phase identification, breaks and live conductors.
• Robust construction to withstand shocks and heavy use on construction sites.

FAQ

Does the GVD 1000-17 measure the exact voltage?

No, it's a presence tester. It indicates whether a conductor is live without direct contact.

Can it be used with extension cords and power strips?

Yes, to quickly check for the presence of tension or to spot a break.

Is it suitable for humid environments?

Yes, the IP67 rating offers excellent protection. However, always follow the safety procedures.

Does the tester need to be calibrated?

No, but a self-test must be carried out before use to ensure proper functioning.

Is it suitable for industrial installations?

Yes, for the initial voltage identification on cabinets and equipment, according to site practices.

Can it be carried in a pocket?

Yes, its pen-like format with clip makes it easy to transport and provides quick access on site.
