8.3 D-TEC® Sensor
The D-TEC® Sensor is an optional accessory that is mounted on the backside of the RCP to
detect and prevent operation near power lines. The D-TEC® Sensor senses electric field
strength and prevents the mast from raising if the field strength is above the alarm threshold.
8.3.1
D-TEC® Sensor Location
When using the D-TEC® Sensor with a Will-Burt RCP, the unit will be mounted on the side of the
RCP cover plate opposite of the RCP circuit board. This typically is installed by The Will-Burt
Company. The Sensor unit must be mounted in the upright position with the look-up light pointing
up.
