V-WATCH MODELS
There are two models available of the V-Watch Personal
Voltage Detector. Both feature audible and visual alarms,
a low battery indicator, built-in self-test, field replaceable
9V battery, ruggedized housing, belt clip and carrying case.
The V-Watch Pro includes all of the same features as the
V-Watch, but also includes a Mute button which temporarily
silences the beeper. The Mute feature may be used when
it is necessary to work for a prolonged period in or around
high voltage electricity while wearing the V-Watch.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
THE V-WATCH IS NOT FOR USE BELOW 2400 VOLTS AC.
Before using V-Watch, read the instruction manual, review product labeling and both sides
of the instruction card located in the V-Watch case. Do not proceed if the instruction card
is missing. Make certain that the V-Watch is equipped with a 9-volt battery. Press the Test
button on the front of the V-Watch before and after each use. The test circuitry generates
an internal voltage which the V-Watch then detects by turning on the lights and sounding
the beeper. DO NOT USE the V-Watch if the Test button fails to activate the lights and
beeper. Remove from service and contact the factory to arrange for repair.
CAUTION – Press and hold the V-Watch Test button before and peri-
odically during as well as after each use to ensure proper operation.
The V-Watch should always be worn facing any potential high voltage electricity. Wear the
V-Watch in the center of the front of your body as shown in the illustration and always
wear the V-Watch in the direction of movement or work. Do
not walk backwards or sideways when wearing the V-Watch
as it will not detect high voltage behind you or as effectively
to the sides. Wear the V-Watch on the outside of all clothing.
Keep it away from all other large metal objects such as
belt buckles, tool belts or electronic items such as radios,
pagers, cell phones or any other electrical devices which
may interfere with the V-Watch.
The V-Watch will emit a series of beeps and flashing lights
when it detects high voltage. It will beep and flash faster
as it gets closer to high voltage. Very rapid beeping and
flashing or a steady tone and lights indicates close proximity
to high voltage and requires extreme caution. For more
details, refer to V-Watch Warning Distances beginning
on page 12.
