The TAG-5000 Wireless Phaser is designed to perform many of the existing functions of conventional voltmeter/phaser devices. However, the TAG-5000 usesstate-of-the-art technology to eliminate the cord and lighten the weight of thisimportant testing device.
The TAG-5000 Phase-Free®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 radio frequency signal. This eliminatesthe need for a connecting cord found on traditional phasing sets and makesthe instrument quicker and easier to operate. Since the units communicate via radio signals, the range of operation is extended to more than 33 feet through the air, over 1,000 feet along overhead conductors and can operate through walls or partitions.
The TAG-5000 can be used for all overhead and underground phasing applications with appropriate underground probes and isideal for use at higher voltages – up to 230kV – where safety and ease-of-use are prime considerations.
The TAG-5000 transmitter initially acts as a voltage detector when placed on a conductor to confirm the line is energized. It then transmits a signal in relation to the phase reference of that conductor. The receiver indicates by LED lights and an audible alarm signal if the conductor is in-phase with the conductor the transmitter is contacting.
