    LOO OUT ® VOLTAGE DETECTION NETWORK ® Featuring WAVi Work Area Voltage Indication Technology Operating & Instruction Manual GENERAL DESCRIPTION ..........4 POINTS TO UNDERSTAND BEFORE PROCEEDING .

  • Page 4: General Description

    • 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.

  • Page 5: Safety / Warnings

    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.

  • Page 6: How To Use It

    Distance Information 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.

  • Page 7: A Word About Electric Fields

    A WORD ABOUT ELECTRIC FIELDS 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.
  • Page 8 The LOOKOUT Voltage Detection Network measures only the strength of the electric field. It 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.

  • Page 9: Warning Distance Information

    WARNING DISTANCE INFORMATION 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.
  • Page 10 If 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.

  • Page 11: Mobile Application

    . The charger will then serve as a wireless bridge, communicating ® commands from the phone or tablet to each LOOKOUT Detector in the network. It is necessary that the charger remains powered on while using the mobile application. The application will NOT connect directly to an individual LOOKOUT Detector without the use of the charger.

  • Page 12: Battery Care

    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.

  • Page 13: Technical Specifications

    3 feet (0.9m) from a 4kVAC conductor. For more details, refer to the Warning Distance Information starting on page 9. OPERATING FREQUENCY: The LOOKOUT Detector will only detect 50Hz/60Hz AC voltage - do not use below 2400 volts. BATTERIES: Internal rechargeable Li-ion - around 500 hours in Monitor mode, 8 hours...

  • Page 14: Accessories

    The LOOKOUT Equipment Mount The LO-CB Safety Cone Mounting Bracket accessory may be attached with sheet accessory allows the LOOKOUT Detector metal screws or high bond adhesive to be placed on a cone for better visibility tape anywhere that a secure mounting and sensitivity to overhead conductors.
  • Page 15 The Charger is also a Wireless Bridge used to communicate to the Detectors through the LOOKOUT mobile app. See page 11 for more details. It is necessary that the charger remains powered while using the mobile application. The application will NOT connect directly to an individual LOOKOUT Detector without the use of the charger.
