HIGH VOLTAGE HOLIDAY DETECTOR
ALWAYS CONNECT CABLES PRIOR TO POWERING ON THE INSTRUMENT
1. HOLIDAY DETECTOR FUNCTION
The Tinker & Rasor Model AP/W Holiday Detector is an all-purpose electrical inspection
instrument which maintains a given inspection voltage in spite of the electrical load on
the circuit. 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.
The purpose of this instrument manual is to inform the user on the operation of this
particular instrument and is not meant as an instruction guide to holiday detection in
general. It is recommended that only knowledgeable and trained operators use this
equipment. We suggest NACE International (www.nace.org) for this type of training.
2. INSTRUCTIONS FOR UNPACKING & INSPECTION
1) Open the shipping carton and make note of the various accessories.
Includes:
NOTE: Additional accessories may ship in separate packaging.
2) INSPECTION should be made upon receipt. If damage has occurred during
shipment, file a claim with the carrier immediately.
3) 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.
* Instrument ships with electrode of choice. Electrode may be Full Circle Spring Electrode (up to 36" pipe diameter),
Half Circle Spring Electrode (up to 8" pipe diameter) or Silicone Rubber Electrode (up to 8" pipe diameter) or

Summary of Contents for Tinker & Rasor AP/W

  • Page 1 ALWAYS CONNECT CABLES PRIOR TO POWERING ON THE INSTRUMENT 1. HOLIDAY DETECTOR FUNCTION The Tinker & Rasor Model AP/W Holiday Detector is an all-purpose electrical inspection instrument which maintains a given inspection voltage in spite of the electrical load on the circuit.
  • Page 2 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 NOTE: Never connect or disconnect the ground cable or PowerPak when the instrument is turned on. • The Model AP/W Holiday Detector is now ready to be set for a specific voltage. • Remove the dust cover with the supplied screwdriver, to reveal the voltage adjustment knob.
  • Page 4 The LCD of the voltmeter measures and displays the output voltage of the holiday detector. This display gives the user the ability to tune the AP/W to a specific voltage within the 800v – 8,000v Low range and the 3,500v – 35,000v High range. Voltages increment in 100v steps.

  • Page 5: Accuracy & Calibration

    AP/W, and will not show as accurate results. 5. ACCURACY & CALIBRATION The Model AP/W voltmeter is accurate to +/- 5% of the output voltage, as shown on the LCD display on the instrument panel. It is recommended that the Model AP/W follow an annual calibration cycle to ensure the instrument is in good working order and that the LCD of the integration voltmeter is accurate.

  • Page 6: Charging The Battery

    NOTE: Do not use the AP/W while battery is being charged. Significant damage can occur to battery and charger. The Green Power LED on the main panel of the AP/W will blink when the battery is low. This indicates the battery needs charging.
  • Page 7 Serial Number less than 1333. DISCONTINUED BATTERY INFO The Model AP/W will indicate when the battery voltage is low, by a flashing or flickering of the Green Power LED, instead of providing a steady glow. The Power LED referred to is on the panel of the Instrument case.

  • Page 10: Operational Check

    NSTRUCTIONS OPERATIONAL CHECK Prior to use, the Model AP/W Holiday Detector should be given an operational check to ensure it is working properly. The Operational Check ensures that the audible and visual alerts are working properly and the instrument has voltage output. The Operational Check is not a calibration check and should not replace the recommendation of annual service.
