Questions and Answers

    What does it mean when my PCWI DC15 display shows -1?
    • R
      Richard HillSep 2, 2025
      If your PCWI Security Sensors display shows -1, it indicates that the voltage is higher than the display capacity. To resolve this, decrease the voltage.

      If your PCWI Security Sensors display is blackening, it is likely due to poor earthing. To resolve this, make positive earth connections.

    Why is there no alarm on fault with my PCWI DC15?
    • B
      Brandon BarronAug 29, 2025
      If there is no alarm when a fault is detected by your PCWI Security Sensors, it could be because the sensitivity is adjusted to too low a setting; increase the sensitivity. Alternatively, the voltage might be set too low; increase the voltage.

    Why does the display voltage drop during the PCWI DC15 test?
    • I
      Ian HensonAug 28, 2025
      If the display voltage drops during the test with your PCWI Security Sensors, it could be due to a slightly conductive, damp, or salty surface. In this case, wash and clean the surface. Another reason could be that the coating may not be fully cured; allow the coating to cure. Also, the probe surface area might be too large; use a smaller probe or increase the voltage.

    Why is the probe voltage lower than the display voltage on my PCWI DC15?
    • B
      Brandy MccoyAug 27, 2025
      If the probe voltage is lower than the display voltage on your PCWI Security Sensors, it could be because the neon in the handle can use up to 200 volts; turn up the voltage control to compensate for the neon. It could also be due to a damaged HV lead; replace the lead. Another cause might be a poor earth connection; check all connections.

    What to do if the alarm sounds continuously during the PCWI DC15 test?
    • B
      Bryan TaylorAug 25, 2025
      If the alarm on your PCWI Security Sensors sounds continuously during a test, it could be due to a slightly conductive, damp, or salty surface; in that case, wash and clean the surface. Alternatively, the coating may not be fully cured, so allow the coating to cure. Another possibility is that the probe is being moved too fast; try moving the probe 1 meter every 4 seconds. Lastly, the probe surface area might be too great; use a smaller probe.

    Why is there no spark at the probe tip of my PCWI Security Sensors?
    • K
      Kaitlin AguilarAug 22, 2025
      If there's no spark at the probe tip of your PCWI Security Sensors, it could be due to several reasons. First, the neon in the handle might be damaged, in which case you should replace the neon or use a metal conductor piece. Second, the leads could be damaged, requiring repair or replacement. Poor connections could also be the culprit, so clean and reconnect them. Finally, a flat battery could be the cause, so try recharging the battery.
