The TAG-5000 Wireless Phaser provides a unique method of phasing across a single-phase or three-phase system to make certain that correct polarity has been established prior to "closing-in" a switch. The TAG-5000 consists of two units, a transmitter and receiver, which communicate via a radio frequency signal, thus eliminating the need for a connecting cord found on traditional phasing sets.
In operation, the transmitter is placed in contact with an energized conductor. The transmitter first acts as a voltage detector by emitting audible and visual indications. After the voltage detection sequence, the transmitter then begins to transmit a signal to the receiver. The receiver is then placed in contact with another energized conductor. The receiver processes the signal and indicates if the conductors are "in" or "out-of-phase" by emitting both audible and visual alarms. The TAG-5000 design offers several advantages and increased safety over conventional phasing equipment such an extended range of operation (a maximum of 35 feet apart), lightweight design, and higher voltages (up to 230 kV). It is also easily operated by one person.

Active Power Tester
The APT-1 Active Power Tester is designed to give an indication when the absence of full line voltage is detected on overhead conductors, giving an audible and visual alert. The APT-1 is for use on uninsulated overhead conductors with voltages from 7.6 to 13.2kV line-to-ground.
FEATURES
• Lets the worker know whether the overhead voltage has been disconnected prior to working on the line
• Hotstick installed
• Audible indication and flashing light when the absence of voltage is detected on the line
• Powered by a field replaceable 9-volt alkaline battery
Stray Voltage Detector
The Stray Voltage Detector , model LV-S-5, is used to detect low stray voltage which may be present within electrically conductive sources. The Detector operates by holding it with a bare or gloved hand, or by using the optional Extension Handle, creating a "virtual ground" and directly contacting the metal tip of the Detector to the potentially energized source.
Three optional accessories are available for the LV-S-5. The Detector Tester supplies a low voltage AC signal for testing the LV-S-5 before and after use. The Extension Handle extends the reach of the LV-S-5, allowing the Tester to test equipment on the ground or hard to reach locations. The Ground Shield is used in areas where high voltage lines or other energized conductors are present.
FEATURES
• Low threshold voltage sensing design picks up voltages from 5 VAC to 600 VAC with direct contact and above 600 VAC at a distance
• Ultra bright, long-lasting, red LED indicates when voltage is present
• Detector is always on, ready to use, and operates on two AAA alkaline batteries
• Rugged, utility-grade design is waterproof
• Optional Detector Tester supplies a low voltage AC signal for testing before and after use
• Optional Extension Handle extends the Detector's reach for testing equipment on or near the ground or other hard to reach locations
• Optional Ground Shield used in areas where energized conductors are present and interfere with normal voltage tests
• Optional rugged carrying bag holds one LV-S-5 Detector and one Tester

Digital Voltage Indicator
The Digital Voltage Indicator (DVI) is a single point instrument designed to read the voltage on a conductor up to 99kV line-to-ground. The large LED readout is easy-to-read on the end of a long hotstick and can be used on overhead lines or in underground applications with an underground bushing probe.
There are two versions of the DVI. The DVI-100 indicates voltage by directly contacting conductors on overhead and underground systems. The NEW DVI-100T with Test Point Mode also indicates voltage on elbow test points.
When brought into direct contact with a conductor while mounted on a hotstick, the two-digit display indicates the line-to-ground voltage level. The instrument is auto-ranging and indicates voltages from 0.1kV - 9.9kV and from 10kV - 99kV. This allows the user to read the voltage and also determine if it is at nominal voltage or a lower induced voltage. The unit emits an audible alarm when any amount of voltage is detected.
FEATURES
• For use on system voltages up to 161kV (99kV line-to-ground maximum)
• Large auto-ranging LED display indicates the line-to-ground voltage level
• Audible indication of voltage detected
• Voltage readout allows user to distinguish between nominal and induced voltage levels
• Use on overhead or underground applications (underground probe required)
• Built-in universal spline for standard hotstick attachment
• Powered by a field replaceable 9-volt alkaline battery
• Auto shut-off
• Voltage Detector Tester (PT-DET, optional) available as a power source to test the DVI before and after use
