HIGH VOLTAGE DETECTION SYSTEM (HVDS)

High Voltage Detection System (HVDS) – Premium Overhead Power Line Safety Solution
Protect your crew, machinery and project site with Australia’s most advanced High Voltage Detection System (HVDS) — engineered for unmatched reliability and real‑world performance. Detect live overhead high‑voltage power lines from up to 100 metres away with enhanced sensitivity and industry‑leading interference rejection, giving operators early warning before hazardous contact occurs. Featuring an intuitive in‑cab audio/visual alert unit with high‑intensity LEDs and pulsed sound, robust plug‑and‑play installation across 11–32 V DC powered vehicles and plant, adjustable sensitivity control, and a clear signal strength proximity meter — this system eliminates guesswork and dramatically reduces risk on construction sites, mining, telehandlers, cranes, tipper trucks, excavators and any machinery with variable height. Designed for plug‑and‑play simplicity, zero field calibration and Australian conditions, HVDS is trusted worldwide with thousands of units sold, offering superior safety compliance, easy installation and dependable operation in harsh environments. Upgrade to the most effective high‑voltage avoidance system on the market today and keep your operations accident‑free, compliant and safe.

Key Features:

Enhanced Sensitivity: The HVDS High Voltage Cable Detector boasts significantly improved sensitivity, thereby enabling it to detect high voltage overhead power lines from distances of up to 100 meters away. Consequently, this promptly alerts operators to potential dangers, thereby enhancing safety on the worksite.
Interference Rejection: With advanced interference rejection capabilities, the HVDS minimizes false alarms, thus providing reliable and accurate detection even in environments with electrical noise.
Wide Input Voltage Range: The system operates on a wide input voltage range of 11-32V DC, making it compatible with a variety of vehicles and machinery.
Signal Strength Meter: HVDS features a signal strength meter that gives the operator an indication of proximity to a detected overhead power line. This subsequently helps operators gauge the distance and take appropriate precautions.
Audio/Visual In cab Warning Unit: The system includes an in-cab audio/visual warning unit that alerts the operator of the presence of overhead power lines. The warning unit features high-intensity red flashing LEDs and a pulsed sounder, ensuring that the operator is alerted to hazards.

Its advanced detection capabilities and user friendly features make it an essential tool for ensuring safety in high risk environments.

Installation:

Easy Installation: The HVDS is designed for easy installation, with a cab-mounted detection antenna and a straightforward setup process. As a result of its versatile design, it can therefore be easily fitted to a wide range of machinery, including tipper vehicles, excavators, telehandlers, cranes, platforms, JCBs, and beyond.
Versatility: The system is suitable for use on almost any type of vehicle or machinery. You can protect any vehicle with variable height, making it a versatile solution for a wide range of applications.
Plug & Play: HVDS is designed for plug-and-play operation. This eliminates the need for user calibration and consequently simplifies the installation process.
Auto Resetting Mute Feature: You can mute the system once activated, and it will emit a reminder tone every 5 seconds. This is to ensure that the operator does not forget about the detected power line.
Proven Technology: With thousands of units sold worldwide, the HVDS is a trusted and reliable solution for high voltage detection.
