A WORD ABOUT ELECTRIC FIELDS
Electric fields surround every energized
conductor. The LOOKOUT Voltage Detection
Network measures the strength of these
electric fields to warn the user when fields
are strong enough to indicate the presence
of nearby high voltage conductors.
A downed power line is a typical hazardous
situation where the Detector can provide
a warning. The power line lying on the
ground sets up a high voltage
field surrounding the conductor
that the Detector will sense
and warn the user.
The Detector measures the
electrical fields typically found
in close proximity to energized
distribution power lines.
Positioning of the detector and
its location relative to the voltage
source can have a large effect
on its sensitivity to electric fields.
The LOOKOUT Detector detects
voltages above it and on all
sides. The cone mounting bracket
conveniently places the
Detector for best visibility.
