LOOKOUT

Featuring WAVi®Work Area Voltage Indication Technology

VOLTAGE DETECTION NETWORK

GENERAL DESCR PT ON

The LOOKOUT Voltage Detection Network uses WAVi®Work Area Voltage ndication

technology to detect strong electric fields surrounding high voltage conductors and power

distribution equipment. t is typically placed near power lines or high voltage equipment.

The LOOKOUT Detector provides an extra level of safety for trained

personnel working on or near high voltage systems.

POINTS TO UNDERSTAND

BEFORE PROCEEDING

The LOOKOUT Voltage Detection Network

detects electric field in ranges between 4kVAC

and 500kVAC. Make sure you understand these points before proceeding:

• Risk of electrocution is inherent in or around high voltage. This product is not

a substitution for common sense.

• Electric fields surround every energized AC conductor.

• The closer you are to a conductor, the stronger the field will be.

• Higher voltage means a stronger electric field and a greater warning distance.

Lower voltage means a reduced warning distance.

• Do not use the LOOKOUT Detector while holding it in your hand. Wrapping your fingers

around the Detector will block electric fields, preventing it from working properly.

• The detector will not find cables buried under the ground. The ground is a conductor

and will block electric fields.

• Electric fields are NOT blocked by plastics, dry wood or clothing.

• Electric fields ARE blocked by ANY conductor such as a metal cabinet or door,

wet wood, metal fences, green trees, a growing shrub or hedge and tall wet grass.

• nsulation on a wire does not block the electric field and does not affect warning distances.

• Underground primary cables are both insulated AND shielded. The shield is a

conductor, is grounded, and will block the electric field.

• The Detector will not detect DC voltage or stored charge such as in charged

capacitors or underground cable.

• Molded cable terminators such as elbows are, like the cables they are installed on,

both insulated and shielded and will block electric fields.

• Your body will block electric fields. Placing yourself between a high voltage source

and the LOOKOUT Detector may prevent it from detecting the high voltage.

SAFETY

WARNING – Not for Use Below 2400 VOLTS AC.

• Do not rely on the Detector as your sole source of high voltage detection.

Risk of electrocution is inherent in or around high voltage.

• Always use proper high voltage safety procedures, including personal protective

equipment, when working near or around high voltage equipment or conductors.

• Always use proper high voltage procedures for testing and grounding.

• Grounded equipment can appear to be live in close proximity to energized conductors.

OPERAT ONAL MPA RMENT

f the Detector is used in a manner not described in this instruction manual, the

protection and effective operation of this equipment may be impaired.

The Detector will not detect DC voltage or stored charge such as in charged capacitors

or underground cable. Always use proper high voltage procedures, including personal

protective equipment, when working near or around high voltage equipment or conductors.

Always use proper high voltage procedures for testing and grounding. Do not rely on the

LOOKOUT Detector as your sole source of high voltage detection. Risk of electrocution is

inherent in or around high voltage.

HOW T WORKS

The LOOKOUT Voltage Detection Network works by sensing the presence of the electric

field surrounding anything that conducts high voltage electricity. The LOOKOUT Detectors

measure only the strength of the electric field. They cannot directly measure distance to

the source of the electric field such as an energized conductor.

Spinning red lights and an audible alert indicate an electric field and nearby energized

conductor. Multiple LOOKOUT Detectors communicate with each other via a wireless

mesh network. When one Detector senses a nearby conductor, it will cause every

Detector in the network to begin alerting.

The LOOKOUT Detector has a power button on the top of the unit to verify battery power

and proper functioning of the device. When powered on, some sections of the Detector

will begin to glow according to the system voltage setting of the Detector. One glowing

section indicates a low voltage setting, multiple glowing sections indicate progressively

higher voltage settings. The Detector will then perform a self-test, shown by spinning

green lights and a short beep.

The short, green, flashing light “heartbeat” indicates that the LOOKOUT Detector

is powered on and monitoring for the presence of high voltage electric fields.

When high voltage is detected, the LOOKOUT Detectors within the same network will start

flashing in a red-yellow-green sequence. The closest Detector to the energized conductor

will flash red lights, the other Detectors within the network will flash yellow or green lights

based on how much of the electric field is being detected.

For more information, refer to the A Word About Electric Fields section on page 7. 5

HOW TO USE T

The LOOKOUT Voltage Detection Network should be placed in the vicinity of high

voltage conductors that are either energized or could possibly become energized

for the purpose of alerting those in the vicinity to the presence of high voltage.

Refer to the Warning Distance nformation section starting on page 9 for determining

the appropriate placement distances.

LOOKOUT Detectors can be placed as described in these examples:

1. LOOKOUT Detectors may be placed on or around equipment that may be operated

near energized conductors. Detectors may be placed on both sides and on top of the

boom of a crane, in the operator's cab or around the outriggers using the

accessory equipment mount.

2. The Detectors can be placed on top of typical traffic cones using the available

accessory cone bracket. When a LOOKOUT Detector is placed on a safety/traffic cone,

the Detector is positioned for best visibility.

3.LOOKOUT Detectors can be placed on the ground. The Detector will detect

energized high voltage conductors on all sides and above it. Refer to the Warning

Distance nformation section starting on page 9 for determining the detection

range and appropriate placement distances.

4. LOOKOUT Detectors can be applied to a fence or other similar structure using the

accessory hanger bracket. When applied to a metal fence, the Detector will only

detect conductors on the side of the fence it is hanging from.

WHEN TO USE T

The decision of when to use the Detector is made by the user and by your company’s

safety and work practices. When used properly, the Detector can provide an additional

warning to users exposed or working around energized high voltage electricity and

equipment. Awareness of the presence of a high voltage electric field allows the user

to take additional precautions against accidental contact with energized equipment.

The LOOKOUT Voltage Detection Network provides an early warning of the proximity

of potentially hazardous high voltage electricity and equipment. The Detector lights will

spin and buzzer will sound when an electric field is detected and will continue

to spin for as long as the electric field is present.

A WORD ABOUT ELECTR C F ELDS

Electric fields surround every energized

conductor. The LOOKOUT Voltage Detection

Network measures the strength of these

electric fields to warn the user when fields

are strong enough to indicate the presence

of nearby high voltage conductors.

A downed power line is a typical hazardous

situation where the Detector can provide

a warning. The power line lying on the

ground sets up a high voltage

field surrounding the conductor

that the Detector will sense

and warn the user.

The Detector measures the

electrical fields typically found

in close proximity to energized

distribution power lines.

Positioning of the detector and

its location relative to the voltage

source can have a large effect

on its sensitivity to electric fields.

The LOOKOUT Detector detects

voltages above it and on all

sides. The cone mounting bracket

conveniently places the

Detector for best visibility.

The LOOKOUT Voltage Detection

Network measures only the

strength of the electric field.

t cannot directly measure

distance to the source of

the electric field such as an

energized conductor. The

higher the voltage, the

stronger the field and the

greater the alarm distance.

The reverse is also true; the

Detector may alarm due to

the very close proximity of

low voltage. Adjusting the

system voltage setting of

the LOOKOUT Detector via

the mobile application can help

normalize the detection distance

across voltage levels.

Electrically conductive objects

located underneath power

lines can appear to be live.

A metal fence or a growing

hedge can cause a distortion

of the electric field under these

lines and result in high electric

field strength near the ground.

The LOOKOUT Voltage Detection

Network will provide an early

warning of high electric fields,

but not all fields are directly

caused by nearby energized

objects. To prevent the Detector

from issuing too many false

alarms, it should not be used

in typical office or factory

environments where all equipment

is low voltage and there is no

danger of contacting energized

high voltage conductors.

Conductors of different phases

in close proximity may also reduce

warning distances due to field

cancellation effects.

WARN NG D STANCE NFORMAT ON

The sensitivity of the LOOKOUT Voltage Detection Network may be adjusted in the field

via the use of the LOOKOUT mobile application. The typical detection distance of the

Detector is adjusted to reflect the OSHA minimum approach distances for qualified

electrical workers. When powered on, the LOOKOUT Detector will default to its lowest

voltage setting of 4kV. Refer to A Word About Electric Fields beginning on page 7 for

more information about how electric fields change over distance.

Be aware of unique conditions that may be present around three phase delta

systems. Unlike grounded Y systems, a single phase of a delta system can

become grounded without causing an outage and the delta system can continue

to operate with this grounded phase. f this phase is grounded as the result of a

downed conductor or other storm damage, it may be grounded only temporarily

and could become reenergized if moved or disturbed. The LOOKOUT Voltage

Detection Network will not detect any grounded conductor, whether it is a

grounded delta phase conductor, a guy wire or a pole ground.

NOT FOR USE BELOW 2400 VOLTS AC.

Before using, read the instruction manual and review product labeling. Press the

Power / Self-Test button on the top of the Detector to turn it on and verify spinning

lights before and after each use. The test circuitry generates an internal voltage

which the Detector then detects by turning on the lights. DO NOT USE the

LOOKOUT Detector if the Power/Self-Test button results in red lights being

displayed. First try recharging the LOOKOUT Detector. f red lights continue

to appear, remove from service and contact the factory to arrange for repair.

CAUTION – Press the Power/Self-Test button before and after each use

to ensure proper operation.

The detector will show spinning lights and an audible alarm when it detects high

voltage. For more details, refer to the Warning Distance nformation starting on

page 9.

This device complies with Part 15 of the

FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the

following conditions: (1) This device may

not cause harmful interferences, and (2)

settings until they are powered off.

The LOOKOUT Mobile App can be

downloaded from the applicable app store

or using the link on HDELookout.com.

BATTERY CARE

The LOOKOUT Detector will indicate if it has low batteries. When the batteries are

low the Detector heartbeat lights become amber instead of green. The Detector will

continue to detect voltage until the remaining battery life is exhausted, at which time the

heartbeat will cease.

To recharge a Detector, stack the unit on top of the LOOKOUT Charger. A total of 6

LOOKOUT Detectors can be stacked and charged at one time. Make sure the magnets

on the bottom of the Detectors are aligned with the steel plates on the Charger or on the

LOOKOUT Detector below if being stacked. A full charge will take about 3 hours and

will provide 500 hours in Monitor mode and 8 hours in Alert mode under typical conditions.

A quick fifteen minute charge to a low battery will provide 8 hours in Monitor mode under

typical conditions. The Detector will not connect to the mobile application, detect voltage

or receive new voltage settings while charging.

f the LOOKOUT Detector will not turn on, try charging it for fifteen minutes. The

battery may be drained down too far to be able to power on. f it still will not turn

on then the battery may need to be replaced. For battery replacement contact
