3.5.2 Separating the Tablet While in the Field
When using the Tablet/Laptop in the field, it is best to separate the Tablet
from its associated keyboard, as shown in Figure 8.
When attached, the keyboard is useful when creating insulator lists and
preparing for the field visit.
The Tablet has a generously sized touch screen. Large “Touch Buttons ”
are used to operate the Windows-based Positron Insulator Tester
Software in the field.
While the Ground Operator is using the Tablet on the ground, the Tower Operator tests the
insulator. When they have completed one or more tests of the insulator, they download the
results immediately to the Tablet and see the profile of the E-field surrounding the insulator,
thereby revealing its health, and determining immediately if a hazardous condition exists prior
to live line transmission work.
The intensity of the Tablet’s screen display is factory adjusted to its maximum setting. If this
setting was changed by a user, it is important to adjust the intensity of the screen back to the
maximum (Select 100% after selecting the small battery icon).
Additionally, polarized sunglasses may prevent easily seeing the display on the Tablet screen in
Landscape mode (long edge of the Tablet screen is horizontal).
In this situation, rotate the Tablet 90
o
to switch to Portrait mode (short edge of the Tablet
screen is horizontal). Otherwise, avoid the use of polarized sunglasses during use.
