Wavecom WCM-ET-809 Analogue Insulation and Continuity Tester

The Wavecom ET-809 is a robust analogue insulation and continuity tester designed for reliable, everyday use. It combines simple dial selection with a clear moving-coil (taut band) display, making it a favourite for techs who want fast, no-nonsense results on site.

This battery-powered tester provides straightforward selection and clearly marked scales for:

• Insulation Resistance Testing at 250V, 500V, and 1000V ranges
• Continuity Testing with low-ohms 3Ω and 500Ω ranges
• AC Voltage presence indication to warn of live circuits

The ET-809 delivers quick, accurate readings and practical safety touches including automatic safety discharge after tests, a live-circuit warning LED, and an audible buzzer. A push-and-turn locking switch supports hands-free measurements, and the onboard battery check keeps you confident in the field.

A dependable choice for electricians and service technicians needing consistent, no-fuss insulation and continuity testing at a very reasonable price.

Suitable for insulation and continuity testing on installations or equipment.
