SMART ADAPTIVE MODE
Smart Adaptive Mode is designed for users working in an environment where electric and magnetic fields are
known to be present. C

You do not need to press the button to adjust sensitivity once you have entered Smart Adaptive mode.

The corner LEDs will periodically flash YELLOW once C
mind that this means that a field strong enough to normally trigger an alert is still nearby.

If the user moves away from the energized source and the field strength is reduced for approximately 5 seconds,

WARNING:
MAXIMIZING ALERT ACCURACY
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.
