Tool Operation - Greenlee HDE TAG-200X Manual De Instrucciones

6. Securely attach the detector to the appropriate hot
stick, if it is not already attached, using the built-in
universal spline. Company, government and industry
hot stick safety procedures must be followed at all
times.
If any issues are found, do not use this tool until fixed.

Tool Operation

• Do not touch any part of the tool while it is in
contact with high voltage. The tool should be
considered as at the same voltage as the conductor
under test.
• Do not allow another high voltage conductor,
or grounded point to contact the tool housing
during use. Keep the housing clear of all
conductors. Always maintain proper high voltage
work clearances.
• Do not use the detector on voltages outside
of its designed range. Testing outside of the
specified range will result in a false reading or
no reading at all and could lead to a hazardous
situation. Consult the product label for the specific
ranges for the unit supplied.
• Do not overreach. Always keep proper footing and
balance, this enables better control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
1. Inspect job site and confirm you have the right
tools for the job. Avoid these situations where false
readings may occur.
• 90° CORNER CONFIGURATIONS: Conductor
configurations, busbar and other electrical
apparatus all apply. Reposition the TAG
Detector to at least 3 feet (1 m) on both sides
of the 90° corner configuration and attempt to
retest.
• SAME PHASE INTERFERENCE: When two
conductors of the same phase are close to
each another, the field generated could shield
the TAG Detector, causing it not to operate.
Reposition the TAG Detector to areas outside of
this field.

• OPPOSITE PHASE INTERFERENCE: This
condition may occur if you are testing a
grounded and de-energized conductor which
is close to a live, ungrounded conductor. When
applying the TAG Detector, attempt to approach
the conductor you want to test from outside
this possible field. If you are within the field of
the energized conductor, the TAG Detector may
indicate that the de-energized line is energized
due to induced current.
Choose where on the conductor the detector will be
used avoiding the previously mentioned situations.
2. Place the TAG Detector in direct metal-to-metal
contact with the conductor being tested for voltage.
The TAG Voltage Detector should be positioned
as close to a 90° orientation (perpendicular) to the
conductor as possible.
• If the conductor is energized within the range of
the detector, there will be both an audible sound
and the red lights will turn On.
• If the conductor is not energized no red lights will
show, the green LED from the Self-Test may still
be on if it is within 3 minutes from the Self-Test.
• The TAG will not give an alarm due to induced
voltage on de-energized conductors, unless the
induced voltage level exceeds the threshold
voltage of the detector.
3. Repeat the Self-Test. If the unit doesn't pass the
Self-Test after testing the line, remove the unit from
service and send it for repair. Do not assume the
test results from that TAG Voltage Detector are
correct. Retest the conductor with a different TAG
Voltage Detector.
