Design of the hot stick A hot stick is divided into the following segments:
Registering the HV
sensor in the mobile
unit
Before a sensor can be used for the first time in combination with a mobile unit, its serial
number and its item number must be entered in the system settings of the device (see
section 7.1).
Preparing the HV
sensor for use
In order to use the HV sensor, it must be equipped with a suitable head and mounted on
the hot stick:
Screw a suitable head onto the sensor until
hand tight.
For use on high overhead lines, the hook
should be used.
To create a contact between the contact pin
of the senor and the hot stick, push the hot
stick into the base of the sensor until it
reaches the stop.
The sensor automatically switches on and
remains activated until it is disconnected from
the insulating rod.
Secure the hot stick against unintended
slipping out by pulling the rubber handle on
the collar over the screw on the sensor base
part.
