Safety Information
This manual contains information and warnings which must be followed to ensure safe operation of the AVT . If the AVT is not used as
described in this manual, the safety features of the AVT might be impaired .
Failure to comply with the warnings and information in this
manual could result in product failure, electrical shock, severe injury or death.
Special Conditions
of Use
Hazardous Locations
The equipment shall be installed in an enclosure that provides a degree of protection not less than
IP 54 in accordance with IEC 60079-0 .
The enclosure must only be accessible with use of a tool .
WARNING:
Always de-energize power before accessing an electrical enclosure .
Always follow safety and lockout/tagout procedures when working on or near electrical systems and equipment .
Use of the AVT does not replace lockout/tagout procedures . The AVT is intended to be used in conjunction with lockout/tagout processes
and only addresses the Absence of Voltage verification step .
Use proper personal protective equipment (PPE) when working around sources of hazardous electrical energy .
Do not use this product outside of the specified performance and environmental limits .
This product must be installed and commissioned by a qualified electrical worker familiar with local and national electrical codes .
The AVT will only test for absence of voltage at the point in the circuit where it is installed . If there are other sources of power in the equip-
ment, dangerous voltage may be present .
Lack of red voltage presence indicators alone does not verify the absence of voltage, the Absence of Voltage test must be initiated followed
by the illumination only of the green indicator to verify the absence of voltage .
The AVT must be installed correctly and grounded as described in this Instruction Manual to provide proper indication of absence of voltage .
Sensor leads must not be mechanically connected with each other for the device to verify connection to the circuit . Correct function of the
device must be verified after installation, see Commissioning Checklist section, p . 14
Excess length from sensor leads should be trimmed . Sensor leads should not be extended with a splice . When using terminal or power
distribution blocks, the total length of the sensor leads from the isolation module to the source conductors shall not exceed 10 feet (3 .0m) .
Sensor leads of the same label designation should be terminated on the same conductor (L1, L2, L3, GND) . Each conductor should have at
least one sensor lead set, as shown on the schematic diagrams .
Always comply with local installation codes and standards .
The battery powered indicator module contains a lithium battery that is a fire, explosion and severe burn hazard . Do not crush, recharge,
disassemble or heat above 85°C (185°F), incinerate, or expose contents to water .
The AVT will not work with a standard alkaline 1 .5 V AA battery . Use only Panduit approved battery .
Use only 2 .0 AVT system components (system cable, isolation module, indicator module) . Do not use a standard Ethernet cable . Do not
use 1 .0 AVT system components with 2 .0 AVT system components .
Battery, system cable, o-rings and gaskets can be replaced . No other part of the product is serviceable . Do not attempt to open the indicator
module or isolation module for repair or modification . When servicing this product, only use specified replacement parts .
The section of the indicator module that is external to the electrical enclosure is approved for wash down when installed in an appropriate
enclosure . Before a wash down operation, ensure the o-rings are in good condition, the faceplate is undamaged and fully secured to the unit
and the cap is fully installed .
The AVT system cable must be separated from the sensor leads and other circuits in the electrical enclosure by a minimum of 0 .25 inches
(6 mm) .
To prevent damage to the AVT in high-vibration installations, surface mount the isolation module using screws and secure the sensor lead
wires and AVT system cable to prevent strain on the connection points .
Ensure all sensor leads are terminated properly and secured to the power conductor or other nearby rigid feature to prevent movement if
the termination fails to remain intact .
The VeriSafe 2 .0 AVT is designed for use in 50 or 60Hz AC electrical systems and DC electrical systems . The AVT should not be installed on
sections of a circuit where the AVT is exposed to high frequency energy such as variable frequency drives (VFD) or other circuit elements
generating high frequency energy (waveforms exhibiting high Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI)) . For more information on where to
position the VeriSafe 2 .0 AVT in VFD applications, see the Technical Note available on Panduit .com .
Should a problem occur during installation, operation or maintenance of the VeriSafe 2 .0 AVT, contact Panduit technical support . Contact Panduit
if you have any product problems related to the safety function of the product . The product model number and serial number are printed on the
isolation module and indicator module labels .
VeriSafe 2 .0 AVT is a product containing electronic circuit boards in both the indicator and isolation modules . The indicator module contains a
lithium battery . When decommissioning, remove the battery . Do not discard the battery in the trash; take it to an appropriate battery recycling
facility . The indicator and isolation modules can be disposed of at an electronics recycling facility .
