    The strength of the signal (E-field) depends on the lines’ voltage and the distance from the lines. Simple adjustment of the settings on the Sigalarm unit will provide accurate and repeatable warnings. After the desired setting is made, a visual and audible alarm will occur whenever the specified E-field (voltage) is detected.

    Never approach any power line closer than the minimum safe distance set by OSHA. If multiple lines are present the Sigalarm system should be set to the lowest voltage line, and additional precautions may be required.
  • Page 29: Adjusting The Setpoint

    When adjusting the setpoint, always position the equipment far enough away from the power line to give the operator time to react. The Sigalarm system should be set to give a warning no closer than the minimum approach distance or MAD from the power line. Setpoint adjustments can also be made utilizing the increase or decrease buttons.
