GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Watchman Work Area Voltage Detector uses WAVi®voltage indication technology
to detect strong electric fields surrounding high voltage conductors and power distribution
equipment. It is typically placed in the vicinity of power lines or high voltage equipment. The
Watchman provides an extra level of safety for trained personnel working on or near high
voltage systems.

POINTS TO UNDERSTAND BEFORE PROCEEDING

The Watchman Area Voltage Detector detects electric fields.
Make sure you understand these points before proceeding:

• Electric fields surround every energized AC conductor.

• The closer you are to a conductor, the stronger the field will be.

• Higher voltage means a stronger electric field and a greater warning distance.
Lower voltage means a reduced warning distance.

• Electric fields are NOT blocked by plastics, dry wood or clothing.

• Electric fields ARE blocked by ANY conductor such as a metal cabinet or door, wet
wood, metal fences, green trees, a growing shrub or hedge and tall wet grass.

• The detector will not find cables buried under the ground. The ground is a conductor
and will block electric fields.

• Insulation on a wire does not block the electric field and does not affect warning distances.

• Underground primary cables are both insulated AND shielded. The shield is
a conductor, is grounded, and will block the electric field.

• Molded cable terminators such as elbows are, like the cables they are installed on,
both insulated and shielded and will block electric fields.

• Your body will block electric fields. Placing yourself between a high voltage source and
the Watchman Detector may prevent it from detecting the high voltage.

• Do not use the Watchman Detector while holding it in your hand. Wrapping your fingers
around the Detector will block electric fields, preventing it from working properly.

4

SAFETY

• Always use proper high voltage procedures, including personal protective equipment,
when working near or around high voltage equipment or conductors.

• Do not rely on the Detector as your sole source of high voltage detection.
Risk of electrocution is inherent in or around high voltage.

• Always use proper high voltage procedures for testing and grounding.

• Grounded equipment can appear to be live in close proximity to energized conductors.

WARNING

NOT FOR USE BELOW 2400 VOLTS AC.

OPERATIONAL IMPAIRMENT

If the Detector is used in a manner not described in this instruction manual, the protection
and effective operation of this equipment may be impaired.

The Detector will not detect DC voltage or stored charge such as in charged capacitors
or underground cable. Always use proper high voltage procedures, including personal
protective equipment, when working near or around high voltage equipment or conductors.
Always use proper high voltage procedures for testing and grounding. Do not rely on
the Watchman Area Voltage Detector as your sole source of high voltage detection. Risk
of electrocution is inherent in or around high voltage.

HOW IT WORKS

The Watchman Area Voltage Detector works by sensing the presence of the electric field
surrounding anything that conducts high voltage electricity.

Spinning lights indicate an electric field and nearby energized conductor. The Watchman
Detector has a power and self-test button on the top of the unit to verify battery power
and proper functioning of the device. The short flashing lights “heartbeat” indicate that
the Watchman Detector is on, checking for the presence of high voltage electric fields.

For more information, refer to the A Word About Electric Fields section on page 7.

5

HOW TO USE IT

The Watchman Area Voltage Detector should be placed in the vicinity of high voltage
conductors that are either energized or could possibly become energized for the
purpose of warning those in the vicinity of the presence of high voltage. Refer to the
charts starting on page 9 for determining the appropriate placement distances.

The Watchman Area Voltage Detector can
be placed as described in these examples:

1.The Watchman Detector can be placed on the ground. The Detector will
detect energized high voltage conductors on all sides and above it. Refer
to the charts starting on page 9 for determining the detection range and
appropriate placement distances.

2.The Detector can be placed on top of a typical traffic cone using the available
accessory cone bracket. When a Watchman Detector is placed on a branded
green traffic cone, overall visibility is improved and the Detector is positioned
for best visibility.

3.The Watchman Detector can be applied to a fence or other similar structure
using the accessory hanger bracket. When applied to a metal fence the Detector
will only detect conductors on the side of the fence it is hanging from.

4.The Detector can be applied directly to a bare or insulated overhead conductor
up to 35kV using this same accessory hanger bracket. In this application the
Detector will provide a direct indication of the presence of voltage on either
the conductor to which it is applied or on other nearby conductors.

WHEN TO USE IT

The Watchman Area Voltage Detector can be used anytime, anyplace and for any
reason. The decision of when to use the Detector is made by the user and by your
company’s safety and work practices. When used properly, the Detector can provide
an additional warning to users exposed or working around energized high voltage
electricity and equipment. Awareness of the presence of a high voltage electric
field allows the user to take additional precautions against accidental contact
with energized equipment.

The Watchman Area Voltage Detector provides an early warning of the proximity
of potentially hazardous high voltage electricity and equipment. The Detector lights
will spin when an electric field is detected and will continue to spin for as long as the
electric field is present.

6

A WORD ABOUT ELECTRIC FIELDS

Electric fields surround every energized
conductor. The Watchman Area Voltage
Detector measures the strength of these
electric fields to warn the user when
fields are strong enough to indicate the
presence of nearby high voltage conductors.

A downed power line is a typical hazardous
situation where the Detector can provide
a warning. This power line lying
on the ground sets up a high
voltage field surrounding the
conductor that the Detector
will sense and warn the user.

The Detector measures the
electrical fields typically found
in close proximity to energized
distribution power lines.
Positioning of the detector and its
location relative to the voltage
source can have a large effect on
its sensitivity to electric fields.

The Watchman Detector detects
voltages above it and on all sides.
The cone mount conveniently places
the Detector for best visibility. The
Detector can be mounted on the
top of this bracket for best sensitivity
above and to the sides. It can also be
mounted on the side of this bracket
for best detecting conductors in one
direction. Typical detection distance
is 10 feet from a 7kV conductor.

Adequate

Warning
Distance

7

The Watchman Area Voltage Detector measures
only the strength of the electric field. It cannot
directly measure distance to the source of the
electric field such as an energized conductor.
The higher the voltage, the stronger the
field and the greater the alarm distance.
The reverse is also true; the detector
may alarm due to the very close
proximity of low voltage such as
from a computer terminal or a
desk lamp. It may even alarm if
it is placed up against a
typical 120 volt wall outlet.

Electrically conductive objects
located underneath power
lines can appear to be live.
A metal fence or a growing
hedge can cause a distortion
of the electric field under these
lines and result in high electric
field strength near the ground.
The Watchman Area Voltage
Detector will provide an early
warning of high electric fields,
but not all fields are directly
caused by nearby energized
objects. To prevent the Detector
from issuing too many false
alarms, it should not be used
in typical office or factory
environments where all the
equipment is low voltage
and there is no danger of
contacting energized high
voltage conductors.

Conductors of different phases
in close proximity will also reduce
warning distances due to field
cancellation effects.

Placing the Watchman Area Volt­age Detector in environments such
as substations or under transmis­sion lines may result in continuous
voltage indication.

WARNING DISTANCE CHARTS

Watchman Detector on Side of Cone Bracket

Warning
Distance
Feet

Each grid square is two feet.
Test conductor is 1 inch diameter bar, three ft. long, three ft. above the ground.
Lines show detection distance at line to ground voltages.

WARNING: Treat all conductors as live unless or until there is
a visible break from a live source and a ground is in place.

Be aware of unique conditions that may be present around three phase delta systems.
Unlike grounded Y systems, a single phase of a delta system can become grounded without
causing an outage and the delta system can continue to operate with this grounded phase.
If this phase is grounded as a result of a downed conductor or other storm damage, it may
be grounded only temporarily and could become reenergized if moved or disturbed.

The Watchman Area Voltage Detector will not detect any grounded conductor, whether
it is a grounded delta phase conductor, a guy wire or a pole ground.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

The Watchman Area Voltage Detector will indicate if it has low batteries. When the
batteries get low the Detector stops the heartbeat lights. The Detector will continue
to detect voltage until the remaining battery life is exhausted, in about 4 hours.

To replace the batteries, access the batteries through the door on the bottom. A coin
may be required to open the battery compartment door. Remove and dispose of the
old batteries, replacing them with a fresh, new set of AAA alkaline or lithium batteries.
Be sure to connect the proper battery polarity and replace the cover. Press and hold
the On button to confirm proper operation. If after changing the batteries the On
button fails to confirm proper operation, DO NOT USE the Watchman Area Voltage
Detector. Remove it from service and contact the factory to arrange for repair.
