The cover plate, chuck, probe section, resistor section, and entire Radio Voltstik Transmitter are to be considered at the same potential. Putting the cover plate, chuck, or other parts of the Radio Voltstik within the air gap of adjacent phases or ground could cause a phase to phase or phase to ground fault. -
Page 6: Theory Of Operation
THEORY OF OPERATION The True RMS Radio Voltstik has been developed specifically for measurement of AC voltages for P-P and P-G measurements on both Overhead and Underground distribution circuits with 0 - 37,000 Volts. The True RMS feature allows accurate measurement of voltage even when the nominal waveform is distorted or when harmonics are present. -

Page 9: Voltstik Receiver Display Functions
Radio Voltstik Transmitter. The receiver will display “noSiG” until the radio in the Transmitter communicates to it. The receiver is designed to operate with both the Radio Ampstik as well as the Voltstik. RUN Mode (Default Mode) The reading continuoulsy changes as the voltage changes. - Page 10 Receiver Display: Press and hold the control switch on the Receiver Display and scroll to the OFF option. Release the control switch. Voltstik Transmitter: Press and hold the control switch until the LED goes to solid GREEN. Release the control switch.
- Page 11 Backlight The Receiver Display is designed to automatically power on when the ambient light is low. This helps users view the display in low-light situations. The light sensor is located on the front of the unit. The user may see some flicker if the backlight is on when under artificial lighting. By default, the unit will start in Auto on/off mode on each power on.

Step 3: Attaching the hot stick. Attach the Voltstik to a universal hot stick. Tighten the bolt to make sure the instrument is well secured to the hot stick. - Page 13 Step 5: Connecting to the neutral. Guide the base of the arms on the AutoClamp to the cable, neutral or ground, and force the conductor to apply pressure to the moving arms of the clamp. The moving arms of the clamp should quickly close making a secure connection with the cable.
- Page 14 Only approach the phase you are intending to measure. Make sure all parts of the Voltstik stay out of the air gap that surrounds the adjacent phases. Failure to do so could result in damage to the instrument and/or a phase to phase fault, endangering the user and surroundings.
- Page 15 Step 10: Removing the AutoClamp. When your last measurement has been held, remove the Probe from the phase and return to the AutoClamp. Place the hook of the Probe so it will slide directly up into the AutoClamp. Push the Probe all the way into the clamp;...

Step 3: Attaching the hot stick. Attach the Voltstik to a universal hot stick. Tighten the bolt to make sure the instrument is well secured to the hot stick. - Page 17 Step 5: Connecting to the Reference Phase. Using the hot stick, approach the phase with the instrument. Guide the base of the arms on the AutoClamp to the cable and force the conductor to apply pressure to the moving arms of the clamp. The moving arms of the clamp should quickly close, making a secure connection with the cable.

There are no special considerations for transporting the device. Battery Replacement The Voltstik transmitter and display are powered by a two 9V batteries, one in each unit. When the“LO BAT” indication shows on the Receiver Display, the batteries in the Receiver Display should be replaced. - Page 23 Ultralife batteries are sold. Cleaning & Preventative Maintenance The SensorLink Radio Voltstik is an electronic meter, built to be used in the harsh conditions of high voltage environments. To ensure its continued lifetime use, clean and dry the entire meter before storing in the carrying case, do not drop the meters, do not alter the units in any manner, and visually inspect for cracks in the housing.
