Product Description
Milwaukee BOLT Personal Voltage Detector
Model Number: 48-73-2895
The Milwaukee 48-73-2895 is a BOLT Personal Voltage Detector, a helmet-mounted safety device that gives utility, electrical, maintenance, and industrial crews clearer awareness of energized equipment on the jobsite. Worn on the hard hat or safety helmet, it continuously senses for the presence of high voltage and warns the wearer with both tone and light alerts when voltage is detected, helping keep workers aware of live equipment around them. It detects across a wide voltage range, from 2.4 kV to 500 kV, covering the medium- and high-voltage environments utility and line crews work around. The device is engineered for consistent, foolproof operation: its single-mode operation eliminates sensitivity-setting errors, so there are no settings to get wrong, and its wide detection field and clearer alerts are designed to deliver the most consistent warnings and easiest operation in its class. A mute function lets the user quiet the device when appropriate, and IP67 water resistance means it stands up to rain and wet jobsite conditions.
The detector is built to integrate with the Milwaukee BOLT head protection system. It secures into the BOLT Front Mount and is compatible with all Milwaukee BOLT safety helmets, hard hats, and headlamps, so it can be worn alongside other BOLT accessories at the same time. It is powered by a USB-C rechargeable internal battery that delivers up to 32 hours of runtime, so it can be charged from any USB-C source and run through long shifts, with no disposable batteries to manage. At about 0.17 lbs it adds little weight to the helmet. It comes with a carrying case to protect it between uses, a headlamp bracket, and a USB-C charging cord, and it is backed by a Milwaukee limited lifetime warranty.
This personal voltage detector is a practical safety addition for linemen, electricians, and utility and industrial workers running a Milwaukee BOLT helmet or hard hat who work around energized high-voltage equipment and want an always-on proximity warning. Note that a personal voltage detector is a supplemental awareness device: it warns of the presence of voltage but does not measure it, and it does not replace proper voltage testing, insulated tools, personal protective equipment, or your employer's established lockout/tagout and safe-work procedures. Use it as an added layer of awareness alongside, not in place of, those practices. For a crew already on the BOLT system, it adds a hands-free voltage warning directly to their existing head protection.
