HOW IT WORKS
The V-Watch Personal Voltage Detector works by
sensing the presence of the electric field surrounding
anything that conducts high voltage electricity and
sounding an alarm. It measures the strength of the
electric field; a higher voltage or stronger field will
cause the detector to alarm from a greater distance.
It emits a series of loud beeps and flashing lights
when an electric field is first detected. The beeps
and flashing lights increase in frequency as the user
approaches the source of the high voltage electric
field. A steady alternating tone and flashing lights
indicates very close proximity to high voltage and
the need for extreme caution. This variable beeping
rate helps the user to determine if they are
approaching the high voltage source or moving
away from it to safety.
The detector tests itself automatically each time it is
opened. A successful self test is confirmed by a series
of tones and flashing lights. A failed test is indicated
by a solid error tone and no lights. A low battery alarm
is a slow alternating tone and flashing red lights. The
unit will shut off when it is closed and this is verified
by descending tones.
