• Wire Watcher 2 is a British-designed and made device which warns operators of tippers, materials handlers and cranes of the potentially fatal danger lurking over their heads.
It detects the presence of high-voltage overhead cables by sensing the electromagnetic field which surrounds them. Inside the cab a visual warning signal alerts the driver and can be backed up with a siren if required. Both warnings will remain active until the vehicle moves away from the detected danger.
Wire Watcher 2 measures 130x72x33mm and can easily be switched from vehicle to vehicle. Its mounting bracket features a built-in multi-function socket so no adjustment is needed after transfer.
