The 275HVD is battery powered and contains three standard 1.5V "C"
cells in the shaft below the sensing head.
When an electrical field is detected, a sound annunciator (high-pitch, high
-powered buzzer) and visual indicators (bright LEDs) are triggered ON,
warning the user.
The body is made out of industrial grade UL rated polyamide (Type 66
Nylon). The shotgun adapter at the shaft end is designed to fit into most
Hot Stick adaptors.

Typical Uses
• Identify and check live cables
• Check and detect live high voltage cables
• Find fault in flexible cables
• Check grounding equipment
• Service neon lighting
• Trace live wires
• Check high frequency radiation
• Detect residual or induced voltages
The 275HVD detects radiated electrical fields. To accomplish this,
an energized cable or sample must radiate an electrical field.
Shielded cables or shielded samples do not radiate, or radiate very
small electrical fields. Also, cables with concentric neutrals will have
a smaller/lower radiated field than plain insulated cables.
The 275HVD may not detect, as expected, an electrical field on
shielded cables (buried cables are often shielded) or shielded
samples and the 275HVD has lower sensitivity on cables with
concentric neutrals.
It is not recommended to use the 275HVD on shielded cables or
shielded samples. Use extreme care on cables with concentric
neutrals (use a low setting).
