VOLTAGE REGULATED HOLIDAY DETECTOR
1.
HOLIDAY DETECTOR FUNCTION
The Tinker & Rasor Model AP Voltage Regulated Holiday is a portable, all-purpose electrical
inspection instrument which maintains a given inspection voltage in spite of the electrical load on
the circuit or the charge on the battery. It is recommended for use on any pipe diameter as well
as on flat surfaces when such surfaces are coated with a highly electrical resistance material, and
when the surface beneath the coating is electrically conductive. The detector works equally well
on damp or dry surfaces, and is especially desirable where humid conditions prevail.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR UNPACKING & INSPECTION
A. Open the carrying case and make note of where the various accessories are located. To
ensure proper storage, repack accessories in the same manner when not in use.
B. INSPECTION should be made upon receipt. If damage has occurred during shipment,
file a claim with the carrier immediately.
C. If it is necessary to contact your supplier or the manufacturer concerning damaged or
missing items, be sure to include the serial number, purchase order number, and invoice
number of the instrument in question.
Unpacking and Reviewing your Tinker & Rasor Holiday Detector Before Every
Use
•
Make certain the inside of the case is clear and dry.
Inspect each component for damage, such as cables, instrument & wand handles.
•
•
Make sure all of the electrodes are clean.
Verify the unit is fully charged.
•
•
Verify that the output voltage is correctly set to the coating manufacturers recommend
inspection voltage.
If manufacturers requirements are not stated, NACE International, SSPC or ASTM
•
Standards can be followed.
AND......... ALWAYS READ THE INSTRUCTIONS THROGHLY PRIOR TO USING ANY TEST
EQUIPMENT!
W ARN I NG! This is a HI GH VOLTAGE device capable of producing an electrical shock if
not properly grounded and/ or operated in accordance w ith the instructions and
procedures prescribed in this m anual!
DANGER! IF YOU HAVE A PACEMAKER DO NOT USE THIS DEVICE.

- Page 1 STARTING WITH SERIAL NUMBER 8044 HOLIDAY DETECTOR FUNCTION The Tinker & Rasor Model AP Voltage Regulated Holiday is a portable, all-purpose electrical inspection instrument which maintains a given inspection voltage in spite of the electrical load on the circuit or the charge on the battery. It is recommended for use on any pipe diameter as well as on flat surfaces when such surfaces are coated with a highly electrical resistance material, and when the surface beneath the coating is electrically conductive.
- Page 2 It is important to realize you are now using a high voltage, low energy holiday detector. Tinker & Rasor holiday detectors, APS & AP/W, are designed to generate between 800 to 35,000 volts, pulsating DC. While these voltages are high, the energy emitted is well within US, OSHA guidelines.
- Page 3 The electrode should always make intimate contact with the surface under inspection. G. The Model AP Holiday Detector is now ready to operate. OPERATING METHODS A good ground return system for both the pipe and the detector will always provide the best and most reliable inspection.
- Page 4 RODUCT NSTRUCTIONS adequate inspection voltage and compensate for any irregularity in coating thickness and grounding conditions. If this practice is desired for determining inspection voltage, it should be done while the electrode is in the normal operating position and under actual grounding conditions.
- Page 5 RODUCT NSTRUCTIONS BATTERY MAINTENANCE INFORMATION A. When instrument fails to operate normally the battery may be fully discharged. Recharging battery nightly will extend battery life. B. Store at room temperature when not in use. NOTE: DO NOT STORE BATTERY IN A DISCHARGED STATE. RECHARGE AT LEAST EVERY 30 DAYS WHEN NOT IN USE.
