Before checking / testing an electrical
Tester screwdriver is An electrical work tool
that is simple shaped like a small Screwdriver,
which used to detect / test the condition of
electrical voltage on various electrical
equipment, such as: cables, sockets (plugs) and
other electrical equipment.
Tester screwdriver usually has a tip made of
metal shaped screwdriver (Slotted or Philips
Screwdriver) which functions as a Test Probe
(this part is in contact with the object being
tested).

Normal Tespen (Screwdrivers using LED
lights).
SLIDE 5Digital Testpen is a type of test pen to
measure the voltage of both ac-dc (12v-220v)
with lcd display so that we know how much
voltage coming out of an electronic device,
electrical outlet, and so on.

Accuracy level :
Tespen usually can be used for power voltage
80 volt until 500 volt
How to calibrate :
Testpen is calibrated automatically.

Is a tester screwdriver only used by
Electricians?, If all this time only electricians
that use tester screwdriver correctly, but we
should also know how to use the tester
screwdriver correctly, to maintain safety when
using a variety of electrical equipment, both at
home and at work, Tester screwdriver is used
not only when an electrician will make repairs,
but we can also use the tester screwdriver
everyday to avoid the danger of electricity.
When we are going to use electrical equipment
that is in poor condition, humid, we can check
it first by using the tester screwdriver, whether
the electrical equipment is still good or has
been leaked, When we encounter a power
cable at home that is peeled off, or
disconnected, we can use the test pen to find
out whether the cable is voltage or not.
DONT USE IT TO TEST HIGH
VOLTAGE.It can cause the serious injury.

equipment, try using the tester screwdriver on
a plug (socket) that is still good and voltage, to
make sure the tester screwdriver condition is
still good and functioning properly.
3. "In the socket (plug) there are two holes, insert
the tip of the test pen in each hole, the good
result is one hole when tested the tester
screwdriver lights up, while one other hole
when tested the tester screwdriver does not
turn on".
4. Hold the tester screwdriver correctly on the
wrapped part (Insulator), do not touch the
metal / metal tester screwdriver tip. Perform
testing / inspection by touching the metal /
metal tester screwdriver tip on the electrical
equipment to be measured.
The electrical equipment parts measured by the
tester screwdriver are parts made from
conductors (conductors). If you want to check
the power cord, touch the tip of the test to the
copper core.
5. If you want to check the wall socket (plug)
touch the tip of the test pen on the inside of the
wall socket / plug
6. If you want to check the iron, refrigerator, rice
cooker, electric kettles, touch the tip of the test
pen on the metal part of the power tools
7. After the tip of the test touches the part to be
measured, then touch the top of the test using
the finger. to give neutral to the tester
screwdriver.
