THIS TYPE HOLIDAY DETECTOR GENERATES HIGH VOLTAGES FROM 800 TO 40,000 VOLTS. THE
OUTPUT VOLTAGES GENERATED ARE WITHIN THE SAFE LIMITS OF FATAL "SHOCK HAZARD"
ACCORDING TO THE U.S. GOVERNMENT STANDARDS. EXTREME CARE BY THE OPERATOR OF
THESE HOLIDAY DETECTORS MUST BE EXERCISED TO PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK FROM THIS EQUIPMENT CAN CAUSE SEVER DISCOMFORT AND MAY
CAUSE OPERATOR INJURY THROUGH FALLING OR OTHER MEANS.
HOLIDAY DETECTOR FUNCTION
The Tinker & Rasor Models AP and AP/W Holiday Detectors are portable, all
purpose, inspection instruments. They are adaptable for use on both large and small
diameter pipe as well as flat surfaces when such surfaces are coated with a high
electrical resistant material and the surface beneath the coating is electrically
conductive. The Models AP and AP/W Holiday Detectors work equally well on damp
surfaces; they are especially desirable when humid conditions exist or when it has
recently rained.
UNPACKING & INSPECTION
Upon opening the carrying case, notice where the various components are located;
repack them in the same manner when not in use. Then remove all components
from the carrying case.
Inspection should be performed upon receipt. If damage has occurred in shipment,
file a claim with the carrier immediately. Check components (against packing slip) to
be sure nothing is missing.
If it is necessary to contact your supplier or Tinker & Rasor concerning damaged
or missing items, be sure to include all information such as serial number, purchase
order number and invoice number.
