NM01D280----S
The Elcometer 280 Pulsed DC Holiday Detector (Standard Version) is a state-of-the-art "stick type" instrument designed for efficient, safe, and reliable high voltage detection of flaws (holidays, pinholes) in protective coatings. Utilizing pulsed DC technology, this detector can effectively identify imperfections such as thin spots and bubbles, even on coatings that are damp, dirty, or slightly conductive.
The Elcometer 280 sets a high standard for safety with features like a two-stage safety switch, bright LED indicators, and clear screen icons that signal when high voltage is active. The extended ribbing on the probe provides additional protection against spark creep, ensuring operator safety.
This standard version of the Elcometer 280 offers a user-selectable voltage range of 0.5 to 35 kV, allowing for the inspection of coatings up to 25 mm (1 inch) thick. A flashing display, bright LED, and user-adjustable volume alarm clearly indicate the detection of a holiday.
A key advantage of the Elcometer 280 is its ability to inspect coatings on large surfaces and pipelines without the need for an earth return lead connected to the component substrate. This significantly streamlines the inspection process in many situations.
The detector features a clear, backlit LCD display that provides all relevant information, even in dark environments. Large, waterproof buttons ensure ease of use, even when wearing gloves. The balanced, ergonomic design and shoulder strap attachment point allow for comfortable, continuous use over extended periods.
