SAFETY INFORMATION
Read all safety and instruction statements before using the product. Failing
to follow the safety guidelines can cause severe injury or death.
The Amp Litewire is designed for use on live, overhead lines. All procedures
appropriate for the line voltage are to be taken, including proper work
techniques, equipment, and Personal Protection Equipment.
The Amp Litewire should be used by personnel who have been trained for
live-line, high voltage work by their organization.
The hot stick should be considered the sole isolation device.
The hot stick lengths must be correct for line voltage per minimum
approach distances stated in published OSHA regulations and/or provided
by the utility.
The cover plate, chuck, probe section, resistor section, and entire Amp
Litewire Transmitter is to be considered at the same potential. Putting the
cover plate, chuck, or other parts of the Radio Voltstik within the air gap
of adjacent phases or ground could cause a phase to phase or phase to
ground fault.
The fiber optic cable is a high voltage insulator and will isolate equipment
in the same manner as a fiberglass hot stick. Wind extra cable and do not
allow extra length to hang loose.
The Amp Litewire should never be left unattended while on the line.
Do not force the arms of the Amp Litewire.
Do not alter the product in any manner.
