WARNING: Smart Adaptive alerts are based on change in ambient electric or magnetic fields, not proximity to
the source. Alerts may not occur within the OSHA Minimum Approach Distance (MAD) in this mode.

When using C
, always be aware of potential variables that could affect the accuracy of alerts:
omPass
-
Warning distances can vary due to a live conductor's exposed surface area, elevation above ground, and
proximity to any other grounded conductive objects.
-
If the user is walking briskly, this may reduce initial warning distances by approximately two (2) feet.
-
Warning distances can be reduced by large conductive objects such as a fence or vehicle as these objects
will attract the electric field of a nearby energized conductor.
-
3-phase systems can hinder detection accuracy by creating electric fields that effectively cancel out their
overall field strength.
-
Humid conditions will reduce detection distance.
-
Always verify C

Smart Adaptive Mode should be used only by experienced electrical professionals.
