OPERATING PROCEDURES
1
Test voltage detector for proper operation by turning the selector
switch to the ''T'' position.
Meter should deflect full scale (450kV) with a new
battery
in the “T” position.
Readings below 140 indicate low battery.
2
Install appropriate end fitting into the meter probe, straight, hook or
bushing/elbow adapter for URD.
3
Attach the voltage detector to an appropriate length live line tool
for the voltage to be tested.
4
Turn selector switch to the
“ON”
position.
5
Make direct contact with line or equipment and note meter
reading. Reading should take into account proximity to other
phases and grounded surfaces and be consistent with
previous experience on same voltages and circuit configuration
with this voltage detector.
NOTE: Meter scale indicates approximate
Line-to-Ground values.
6
If there is any doubt about the readings under any
circumstances, the line or equipment shall be considered
energized and appropriate safety precautions shall be taken, i.e.,
confirm visual open gaps, tag outs, dispatcher hold orders, and
sources of induced voltage, etc.
NOTE: Ratings, performance factors and results may
vary dependent on field and application conditions.
