  • Multimodal voltage test device and method of operation
    Patent number: 11514771
    Abstract: A multimodal voltage test device and method of operating is provided. The device includes a first electrical contact and a second electrical contact. A circuit electrically is disposed between the first electrical contact and the second electrical contact, the circuit being configured to measure a voltage between the first electrical contact and the second electrical contact. A first light source is electrically coupled to the circuit. An audio device is electrically coupled to the circuit, wherein the circuit is configured to cause the first light source to illuminate and to emit a first sound from the audio device in response to the voltage measured by the circuit being equal to or greater than a first threshold.
