• High volatage power line proximity warning system.
• System goes to maximum sensitivity when first activated.
• Entire length of mast from tip to base is protected.
• Provides warning of lightning danger.
Power lines have always been a hazard to personnel operating or working around equipment with booms or extensions that have the capability of reaching power lines. While contact with overhead high-voltage lines represents only 5% of total electrical accidents, it is responsible for approximately 45% of the fatalities. Most of these accidents could have been avoided by the proper installation and use of a high-voltage proximity warning system such as SIGALARM.
• Broadcast: vehicles for electronic news gathering and transmission monitoring.
• Environmental: conditions monitoring vehicles or trailers.
• Communications: survey vehicles or trailers.
• Military: field, trailer or container mounted communication masts.
• Aerial Photography.
• Emergency Services: communications and lighting masts, ladders and platforms.
• Construction: cranes and power diggers etc.
• Just about anything that can reach the power lines.

In fact, during the past twenty-five years there has never been a single injury or accident involving equipment equipped with a SIGALARM that is installed and adjusted properly. SIGALARM is a solid state electronic safety system used for detecting the electrostatic field of any AC power line. It provides both audible and visual warning signals to alert the operator and attendant ground personnel when the boom comes within proximity of an energized high-voltage power line.
