CATU ALED-3 Distance Proximity Voltage Live-Line Alarm
A "Distance Proximity Voltage Live-Line Alarm" is a safety device designed to alert personnel when they come dangerously close to live electrical conductors or equipment. These alarms are particularly valuable in environments where the risk of electrical shock is high, such as in utility work, construction sites, and maintenance of electrical infrastructure. They serve as an essential part of electrical safety protocols, helping to prevent accidental contact with live electrical components.
Application:
- ALED3 is an additional device ensuring safety to the operator within live-powered environments warning him about a risk of danger.
- Improved safety of the operator: the presence of an electric field (1kV to 66 kV) as identified by a sound and visual warning.
- Flexibility: 360° detection sensor depending on the position of the device which can be installed in different ways (on a helmet, on the arm, on the belt, on the body).
- Easy to use: compact and light with an in-built antenna.
Features:
- The alarm is automatically triggered when the operator approaches an electric field and turns off when he moves away from the source.
- 360º detection according to the positioning of the device which has multiple fixing possibilities (helmet, arms, belt, body).
- Compact and light with an integrated antenna.
- Sound intensity: 75 dB.
- Response time: < 1 s.
The device operates by detecting the electromagnetic field around live electrical conductors. When the device, carried or worn by a person, enters a predetermined distance from a live line, it triggers an alarm. This alarm can be audible, visual, or both, warning the individual to maintain a safe distance from the potential electrical hazard.
The technology behind these alarms may vary, with some models offering adjustable sensitivity settings to suit different operational voltages and environmental conditions. The goal is to ensure workers are kept at a safe distance from energized components, thereby reducing the risk of electrocution and electrical burns.
These alarms are part of a broader category of voltage detectors and proximity warning devices, which may include other features such as directional guidance to indicate the direction of the hazard or data logging capabilities for safety audits and training purposes.
