For the standard settings, these are the live reading thresholds for alert triggers
When the wristband's setting is changed, the wristband will alert at different readings. The table below outlines the trigger value shown on the live reading for the two alerts at each standard setting.
IMPORTANT:
If your organization has deployed custom settings, the alert triggers and available settings may be different. Contact the Proxxi Team if your wristband is on custom settings and you need to confirm the alert triggers
The standard Proxxi Voltage settings have been created so that the wristband alerts appropriately for equipment of the same voltage as the setting name. Adjusting the setting does not change how the wristband senses the electric field but instead adjusts the threshold for triggering an alert.
Lower settings have lower alert trigger thresholds (so that they alert at the correct distance for lower voltage equipment) and higher settings have higher alert trigger thresholds (so that they alert at the correct distance for higher voltage equipment).

The live reading does not represent the voltage. It is a measure of the intensity of the electric field strength.
The live reading is located on the "Wristband" screen of the Wearer App any time the wristband is active. If the wristband is charging or powered off, it will not display. The Live Reading is not displayed in the Proxxi Voltage App.
For instructions on changing alert settings and for more information about nuisance alerts, see this article.
* The 480V setting is often appropriate for work on equipment in the 200V range (200-280V). This is because 480V equipment is 3-phase, whereas 200V range equipment is most commonly single-phase
**Initial alert distances are applicable for wristbands shipped after 2023-05-19. Wristbands shipped before this date will perform the initial alert on the default 480V setting at a live reading of 3 unless the organization has otherwise requested it
