HOW TO USE IT
The LOOKOUT Voltage Detection Network should be placed in the vicinity of high
voltage conductors that are either energized or could possibly become energized
for the purpose of alerting those in the vicinity to the presence of high voltage.
Refer to the Warning Distance Information section starting on page 9 for determining
the appropriate placement distances.
LOOKOUT Detectors can be placed as described in these examples:
1. LOOKOUT Detectors may be placed on or around equipment that may be operated
near energized conductors. Detectors may be placed on both sides and on top of the
boom of a crane, in the operator's cab or around the outriggers using the
accessory equipment mount.
2. The Detectors can be placed on top of typical traffic cones using the available
accessory cone bracket. When a LOOKOUT Detector is placed on a safety/traffic cone,
the Detector is positioned for best visibility.
3. LOOKOUT Detectors can be placed on the ground. The Detector will detect
energized high voltage conductors on all sides and above it. Refer to the Warning
Distance Information section starting on page 9 for determining the detection
range and appropriate placement distances.
4. LOOKOUT Detectors can be applied to a fence or other similar structure using the
accessory hanger bracket. When applied to a metal fence, the Detector will only
detect conductors on the side of the fence it is hanging from.
WHEN TO USE IT
The decision of when to use the Detector is made by the user and by your company’s
safety and work practices. When used properly, the Detector can provide an additional
warning to users exposed or working around energized high voltage electricity and
equipment. Awareness of the presence of a high voltage electric field allows the user
to take additional precautions against accidental contact with energized equipment.
The LOOKOUT Voltage Detection Network provides an early warning of the proximity
of potentially hazardous high voltage electricity and equipment. The Detector lights will
spin and buzzer will sound when an electric field is detected and will continue
to spin for as long as the electric field is present.
