OPERATING CONDITIONS
WARNING
Keep your hands behind the guards on the
poles. Follow all safety precautions for high-
voltage equipment. Ground circuit before
touching using a safe grounding method.
WARNING
The test equipment must be held on the power
line for a minimum of 3 seconds.
The forked terminal must touch the bare conductor under test for proper
operation of the detector for
at least 3 seconds
.
The operating parts of the detector are enclosed in an insulated and
watertight assembly which protects them from external damage and the
effects of humidity. If the detector gets wet, all external surfaces should be
dried before normal operations are resumed.
Electronic voltage detectors with Cat. No. 514360-2, 514360-3, 514360-4,
514242-1, and 514242-2 are showerproof. They are not waterproof and
could be rendered inoperative if immersed. When using the detectors in
rain or snow, follow all safety precautions as directed by the manufacturer
of the hot line pole being used. In particular, make sure that the hot line
pole used has a wet rating at least equal to the voltage of the system under
test. Also, make sure that it is clean and free from imperfections, such as
cracks and chips.
Do not use the electronic voltage detector equipped with the telescopic
pole (Cat. No. 514360-1) or the LED voltage detector (Cat. No. 514440-2)
in rain or snow. They do not have a wet rating.
NOTE
Cat. No. 514440-2 is
not
approved for use on
reactors manufactured by Trench Limited.
