No need for reference tables. SafeA double safety switch on the handle prevents accidental switch-on and special ribs provide excellent protection. VersatileSelect a different handle to change the voltage: 5kV, 15kV or 30kV DC, or 30kV DC continuous voltage. Suitable for testing porosity in coatings up to 7.5mm (300 mils) thick, the Elcometer 266 Holiday Detector is the ideal solution for inspecting coatings on pipework as well as other protective coatings.This device's integrated voltage calculator sets the correct voltage based on the test standard and the thickness of the material being tested. A fully automatic voltage calculation selects the correct test voltage depending on the coating thickness.Selectable test voltage:0.5kV to 1kV in 50V steps1kV to 30kV in 100V stepsA double safety switch on the handle to prevent unintentional switching on (only grey/orange probe handles)Built-in voltmeter/voltage detector ensures that the test voltage always corresponds to the selected voltage.Visual and audible alarm: bright LED's on the probe handle and a loud buzzer clearly indicate when a pore has been detectedTo change the maximum voltage range, use a different handle: 5 kV, 15 kV or 30 kV DC or 30 kV DC constantA wide range of brush and rolling spring probes are available Elcometer 266 DC Holiday Detector Features Explained Voltage CalculatorThe voltage calculator automatically sets the correct voltage based on the coating thickness entered. No need for comparison charts thanks to the integrated voltage calculation. Simply enter the test standard and coating thickness and the device automatically programmes the correct voltage. Adjustable voltage Voltage setting via the keyboard – no screwdriver required 0.5 kV - 1 kV in 50 V steps 1 kV - 30 kV in 100 V steps. Voltage setting via the keyboard – no screwdriver required. The current sensitivity can be preset manually or set automatically by the test instrument for partially conductive coatings. Internal voltmeter/jeep tester Internal voltmeter/jeep tester ensures that the selected voltage corresponds to the test voltage. An internal calibrated jeep tester and closed loop circuit ensure accurate measurement and continuous regulation of the generated test voltage, regardless of climatic conditions. Interchangeable probe handlesInterchangeable probe handles: 500-5,000 volts, 500-15,000 volts, 500-30,000 volts Audible and visual alarmsAudible and visual alarm when a fault is detected. Bright LEDs on the handle and a loud audible signal clearly indicate when the test device is switched on (red) and when a sparkover is detected (blue). Battery packBattery packs that can be charged inside or outside the test instrument for continuous use. The battery packs can be charged either inside or outside the device. The batteries are fully charged in 4 hours and provide 40 hours of continuous use. Universal Probe AdaptorEnables all the main accessories to be used with the Elcometer 266. Screen displayLarge display with backlight, making it easy to read in dark environments. If a defect is detected, the backlight will also flash. Second HandleThe optional second handle is designed for two-handed use without compromising safety. Particularly suitable for testing pipework and tank floors. Safety feature Double safety switch on the handle to prevent unintentional switching on. A 2-stage safety switch ensures automatic switch-off if the handle is not held.Special ribs for better protection and an optional second handle for two-handed use. The longer insulating ribs protect the user and are specifically designed to meet the requirements of the EN61010 standard. High-voltage testing has never been safer.The loudspeaker in the test device emits a ticking sound to clearly indicate that the handle is live.When a sparkover is detected, a loud audible alarm sounds. The volume of the alarm signal is adjustable to ensure that it can be heard in noisy environments.
