The New DVI-500 units are designed to be used on both transmission and distribution systems in both overhead and underground applications. The DVI-500 indicates voltage from 0.1kV – 9.9kV and from 10kV - 500kV with no range selector switch or settings required. Voltage is displayed on a large 1.45” LED display with a 3-digit readout. In addition, an audible alarm alerts the user to the presence of voltage above 100VAC. The DVI units are auto shut-off and will turn off after 4 minutes of inactivity.
The DVI units have a built-in self test, activated by pressing and holding the ON button. For a test using an external voltage source, the PT-DVI Voltage Indicator Tester should be used before and after each test to verify proper operation. Two overhead probes are supplied with the DVI-500 units - a large 6” overhead hook probe for transmission system use (HP-DVI-6) and a smaller 2” overhead hook probe for distribution system use (HP-DVI-2). Simply attach the correct probe for the proper overhead application. Use of an appropriate length hotstick is required for all overhead and underground applications.
The IEP-DVI-5 probe is required for underground or pad mount applications, as well as any applications up to 21kV line-to-ground where the DVI will be used in close proximity to grounded conductors or surfaces. It should also be used to measure elbow test points with the DVI-500T.
