T G-5000 ® W I R E L E S S P H A S E R a n d A C C E S S O R I E S Operating & Instruction Manual 1475 Lakeside Drive • Waukegan, Illinois 60085 U.S.A. • 847.473.4980 f a x 8 4 7 .
DESCRIPTION The TAG-5000 Wireless Phaser is a two unit system used to verify an in-phase condition between any two phases of a three phase power system. The TAG-5000 can be used anywhere a typical phasing voltmeter is used and many places where phasing voltmeters cannot be used due to distance or higher voltages.
• Always use a hotstick with length appropriate for the voltage being measured per your company and OSHA published requirements. • Do not touch the TAG-5000 during measurements. The TAG-5000 housing should be considered to be at the same voltage as the conductor under test. •...

If the transmitter or receiver do not operate properly, replace the batteries in both units and repeat the test. Do not use the TAG-5000 until it successfully passes this test. Install the TAG-5000 transmitter and receiver on hotsticks with length appropriate for the voltage to be tested by way of the built-in universal spline, making certain it is securely attached.

On higher voltage systems the receiver may beep before the conductor is contacted, but always make sure that metal to metal contact is made between the receiver probe and the live conductor. If the two conductors are in-phase the other three receiver lights will turn on and the unit will emit a steady tone.
SITUATIONS TO AVOID Electrical field interference can affect the operation of the TAG-5000. For best performance avoid the following: 1. 90° CORNER CONFIGURATIONS: Position the TAG-5000 at least three feet (1 meter) away from any inside or outside corner. Any 90° inside corner configuration may cause field cancellation, causing the TAG-5000 not to operate correctly.
Figure 1 - TAG Components 1 -“Y”Probe, 2 - Retaining Nut, 3 - Electronic Housing, 4 - Metal Shield, 5 - Battery ACCESSORIES IEP-UD/C Underground Bushing Probe The IEP-UD/C Underground Bushing Probe is designed for direct insertion into exposed 15, 25 or 35kV loadbreak bushings (after connecting elbows have been removed and properly stored).

IEP-EA/C UNDERGROUND ELBOW PROBE The IEP-EA/C Underground Elbow Probe is designed for insertion onto 15, 25 and 35kV loadbreak elbow probes. The probe must be inserted directly onto the elbow probe and remain free and clear of all surrounding surfaces. It is rated for use up to 21kV phase to ground.
