READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL ELEMENTS OF THIS MANUAL PRIOR TO USE. WARNING: Use of the TAG Detectors in corner locations may supply faulty indications. Those conditions should be avoided or re-tested in a nearby location.Voltage cancellation effects within right angles (conductors approximately 90° apart) may cause false reads if the detector is used within 3 feet (1 meter) of the conductors joining.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION The TAG-200 and TAG-200MR Voltage Detectors are designed to provide added safety to crew members that are required to work on distribution lines. The minimum voltage setting is 4kV (2.4kV line-to-ground). The TAG-200 and TAG-200MR Detectors maximum voltage setting is 69kV (40kV line-to-ground). Operating frequency is 60Hz (optional 50Hz available).

A standard 9-volt lithium or alkaline battery powers the TAG Detectors. Even though the circuitry is constantly“ON”and sensing voltage, the battery should last for approximately one year under normal use. We do recommend however, replacing the battery every six months. If the instrument is to be stored for a year or more, remove the battery during storage. A universal spline adapter is built into the polycarbonate housing of the TAG Voltage Detector units.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE Situations To Avoid Within certain situations and because of various system configurations, electrical field interference capable of affecting the operation of TAG Voltage Detectors may occur. Within these areas it is imperative that you be aware of and identify all such conditions which may exist.
OPERATION Once the All-Check self-test confirms proper operation, the TAG Detector is ready to test lines for voltage detection as follows: NOTE: Direct, metal-to-metal contact with the conductor must be made for the detector to operate correctly. 1) Place the detector at the end of a hotstick adequate for protection for the voltage range being tested.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT Under normal conditions, the 9V alkaline battery will last approximately one year. When replacement is required (as determined by the All-Check self-test), replace the battery with a 9V alkaline battery, Duracell® #MN1604 or equivalent. TAG-200, TAG-200MR and TAG-330 Voltage Detectors 1.
MAINTENANCE AND CARE STORAGE - It is recommended for protection of the TAG Detector that you always store it and its accessories in the carrying case provided. If a prolonged period of storage is anticipated (six or more months), remove the battery. Remember to replace the battery prior to using the TAG Detector again.
OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES IEP-UD/C Underground Bushing Probe The IEP-UD/C Underground Bushing Probe is designed for direct insertion into exposed 15, 25 or 35 kV loadbreak bushings (after connecting elbows have been removed and properly stored). It can be used with the TAG-200 and TAG-200MR Voltage Detectors, as well as the TAG-500 / TAG-5000 Wireless Phasers.
PT-DET TESTER FOR TAG VOLTAGE DETECTORS The PT-DET Proof Tester Voltage Detector Tester is for use on TAG-200, TAG-200MR, TAG-330 Voltage Detectors up to and including 69 kV. This tester generates high voltage AC for testing TAG Voltage Detectors. To use, hold the Tester in one hand and the TAG Detector in the other hand.
