WARNING: Never assume conductors have been tested, as
de-energized will stay de-energized.
Always install proper grounding devices before working.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death
2.1 DESCRIPTION
The Non-Contact High Voltage Detector Model 275HVD is a high voltage
detector by proximity. It is not designed to enter into contact with conductors.
WARNING: The 275HVD should never touch conductors and
must be used with an insulated fiberglass rod or Hot Stick
appropriately rated for the voltage being tested.
The Non-Contact High Voltage Detector Model 275HVD is not a measuring
instrument per say, rather it is a product designed to warn the user of the
presence of voltage in a particular work site.
The 275HVD uses an internal sensor designed to detect the radiated electrical
field (V/m) present in energized conductors. The radiated electrical field
increases with the line voltage but decreases with distance and/or shielding.
The 275HVD has eight voltage range settings. These correspond to internal field
sensitivity settings: the lower the voltage setting; the higher the sensitivity to
detect the electrical field; and, the greater the detection distance. It also has an
auto-test setting to check functionality (see § 4.3).
The 275HVD is battery powered and contains three standard 1.5 V C cells in the
shaft below the sensing head.
When an electrical field is detected, a sound annunciator (high-pitch, high-powered
buzzer) and visual indicators (bright LEDs) are triggered ON,warning the user.
The body is made out of industrial grade UL rated polyamide (Type 66 Nylon). The
shotgun adapter at the shaft end is designed to fit into most Hot Stick adapters.
