The Greenlee LO-P6E (52087154) LOOKOUT 6-Pack Kit with (5) Work Area Voltage Detectors, (1) Operator Unit, Equipment Mounts & 12V Charger, 4kV to 500kV AC, uses WAVi Work Area Voltage Indication technology to detect strong electric fields surrounding high voltage conductors and power distribution equipment. It is typically placed near power lines or high voltage equipment. The LOOKOUT Detector provides an extra level of safety for trained personnel working on or near high voltage systems.

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

Spinning red lights and an audible alert indicate an electric field and nearby energized conductor. Multiple LOOKOUT Detectors communicate with each other via a wireless mesh network. When one Detector senses a nearby conductor, it will cause every Detector in the network to begin alerting.

The LOOKOUT Detectors can be placed on the ground. The Detector will detect energized high voltage conductors on all sides and above it.

The Detectors may also be placed on or around equipment that may be operated near energized conductors. Detectors may be placed on both sides and on top of the boom of a crane, in the operator's cab or around the outriggers using the included equipment mounts.

The LO-P6E Kit includes the LOOKOUT Claw Tool accessory, which may be used to easily affix or retrieve LOOKOUT Detectors from the Equipment Mount anywhere that is reachable by a standard hot stick (sold separately).
