Indications

 

  • The voltage calculator automatically sets the correct voltage from your coating thickness value
  • No need to use look-up tables. Enter the test standard and the coating thickness and the gauge will automatically program the correct voltage.
  • Voltage adjustable using the keypad – no need for a screwdriver: 0.5kV – 1kV in 50V steps, 1kV to 30kV in 100V steps
  • Sensitivity to current can be manually preset or automatically adjusted by the gauge for partially conductive coatings.
  • Internal Voltmeter/Jeep tester ensures that the test voltage equals the selected voltage.
  • The closed-loop system ensures that the generated test voltage is accurately measured and continuously controlled, regardless of climatic conditions.
  • Audible and visual alarms are activated when a flaw is detected
  • Bright LEDs on the handle, as well as a loud audible alarm, clearly indicate if the gauge is on (Red) and when a spark is detected (Blue).
  • Battery packs can be recharged inside or outside the gauge for continued use
  • Batteries are fully charged within 4 hours and provide up to 40 hours of continuous use between charges.
  • The adaptor enables use of accessories from other manufacturers
  • Elcometer 236 & Elcometer 136 Models AP, APS, AP/S1 & AP/S2
  • Models 780, 785 & 790 Models 10/20 & 14/20 Compact DC & Compact Pulse
  • Large, backlit display enables easy viewing even in dark environments. When a flaw is detected the backlight also flashes.
The optional second-hand grip is designed for two-handed use without compromising its safety. Ideal for testing pipes and tank floors.
  • The easy-to-use menu-driven displays can be viewed in multiple languages for optimum versatility.

 Safety Features

 

  • Dual safety switches on the handle to avoid accidental switch on.
  • 2-stage safety switch ensures that if the Elcometer 266 handle is not gripped, the handle will switch off.
  • Specialized ribbing provides superior protection while an optional second-hand grip is ideal for two-handed use.
  • To the user and has been specifically designed to meet standard EN61010. High voltage testing has never been safer.
  • The speaker on the gauge clearly emits a ticking noise to indicate that there is the voltage at the handle.
  • A loud audible alarm is activated when a spark is detected. The beep volume can also be adjusted to ensure it can be heard – even in noisy environments.

QUICK TIP – HOLIDAY TESTS EXPLAINED:

High voltage holiday detection
A high voltage holiday test is normally used to determine the existence of discontinuities in coating films. The high voltage, or porosity technique, can be used to test coatings up to 25mm (1″) thick and is ideal for inspecting pipelines and other protective coatings. Coatings on concrete can also be tested using this method. There are two types of high voltage holiday detectors – Continuous DC and Pulsed DC.

Continuous DC Holiday Detection
Continuous DC holiday detectors, such as the Elcometer 236 Holiday Detector, require direct connection to the conductive substrate. The Elcometer 236 holiday tester provides the user with complete control of voltage and sensitivity settings and is available in 2 versions- 15kV and 30kV.

Pulsed DC Holiday Detection
Using Pulsed DC holiday detection technology, the Elcometer 280 Pulsed DC Holiday Detector is designed to ensure that the energy is contained within very short pulses, each pulse having more energy than an equivalent continuous DC system. This means that the Elcometer 280 holiday detector can be used to test for holidays over slightly conductive coatings, or dirty or damp surfaces. Using state-of-the-art electronics, the Elcometer 280 holiday detector allows users to inspect coatings – without connecting the earth return lead to the component substrate – ideal for inspecting large surfaces and pipelines. From the two-stage safety switch, bright LED’s, and screen icons signifying when the high voltage is on, to the extended ribbing to protect the user from spark creep, the Elcometer 280 Pulsed DC Holiday Detector sets the standard for high voltage measurement safety.

With a wide range of probes and accessories available, a high voltage holiday test can be carried out on a variety of substrates with a different coating thickness and is suitable for all applications.
