Megger offers six electronic beeper models andone model with white LED indication for greater visibilitywhen testing beeper-style electronic Detectors provide audible andvisual indication of the presence of phase-to-ground acvoltages, in accordance with ANSI model is equipped with a telescopic pole. Allother models are fitted for universal spline mounting on ahot line pole rated for the Voltage of the system Voltage Detectors for use on distribution linevoltages (Cat.)

2 No. 514360 series) provide a single red rated for transmission line voltages (Cat. series) provide four LEDs for improved visibility atgreater white LED-indicating Voltage detector is designed forindoor testing of grounded ac systems. A row of brightLED indicators provide easy visibility in poor lightingconditions. During testing, the presence of voltages withinthe detector s operating range will illuminate the brightLED bulbs. A built-in piezoelectric Voltage source provides a testfeature to ensure that the detector is operative before pushbutton activates the detector is equipped with a 48-in. (1219-mm)telescopic pole calibrated and marked for voltages withinthe ratings of the detector. These demarcations assist theuser in adjusting the pole to the length required for safeoperation. The pole retracts to 34 in. (864 mm) forconvenient storage in a vinyl carrying case when not Detex models provide continuous monitoring with noon/off switch.

3 They respond to minimum phase-to-groundvoltages as outlined by ANSI standards, withconformance to IEC guidelines for capacitive high-voltagetest instruments. Prior to testing, a self-test may be activated on theelectronic Detectors at the push of a button. The testsimulates application of external Voltage to the probeelectrode, which verifies the operation of the buzzer andlights a red the TEST button is released, a green LED indicatesthe detector is operative and ready for use. If voltageswithin the detector s operating range are present duringtesting, the green LED extinguishes, the red LED flashesand the audio tone sounds until the detector is removedfrom the Voltage source. 99 Washington Street Melrose, MA 02176 Fax 781-665-0780 Detex Voltage Detectors and Phasing TestersVoltage Detectors and Phasing TestersFEATURES AND BENEFITSnAvailable in seven models covering a range fromdistribution class to transmission line voltages up to 550 kVnSix electronic, beeper-style models and one model withwhite LED indicatorsPHASING Testers DESCRIPTION Detex Phasing Testers are available in five models forapplications up to 69-kV class systems.

4 The models includefour analog Phasing Testers and one model with analog Testers are ideally suited for outdoor testing ofgrounded and ungrounded systems, especially in areaswhere an LED lamp is not easily visible. The large, (89-mm) analog scale is calibrated to indicate the presenceof nominal system voltages; the tester cannot be used todetermine an exact Voltage Testers are equipped with two fixed-length polesconnected by a flexible, insulated cable. Hand guards arestandard on lower Voltage models, while units for use onhigher voltages are fitted with a universal spline mount forattachment to a standard hot stick. Spline-mounted testersprovide a 10-ft (3-m) nominal spacing between twoenergized Phasing tester (cat. no. 510836-1) provides bright LEDindication for easy visibility indoors or where lightingconditions are poor. Approximate Voltage ranges to bechecked can be preset for additional assurance.

5 Theinstrument consists of a pair of fixed-length, 43-in. (1092-mm) poles with hand guards. A flexible, insulatedconnecting cable is capable of covering a 7-ft ( ) spanbetween two energized phases under two-pole Phasing Testers may be used on groundedand ungrounded ac systems to check high- Voltage fuses,test for correct phase connections and test for the absenceof high Voltage on de-energized lines or apparatus. FEATURES AND BENEFITSnUsed on grounded or ungrounded ac systems to checkhigh- Voltage fuses, test for correct phase connectionsand test for the absence of high Voltage on de-energizedlines or apparatusnFive models available for up to 69-kV class systemsOPTIONAL ACCESSORIESP iezo VerifierThis essential safety tool is used to confirm the correctoperation of Voltage Detectors and Phasing Testers that donot have a self-testing capability. When the verifier handleis depressed at the rate of 3 strokes per second, a piezocrystal generates approximately 1800 volts.

6 This Voltage ,when applied to the tip of the detector, tests for integrityof the current path and proper operation of the indicators. A high- Voltage model provides selectable outputs of 10,20, and 30 procedure of testing the detector with thepiezo verifier, using the detector to test for the absence ofhigh Voltage and then testing the detector again should bestrictly observed in accordance with accepted operatingprocedures.
