THISTYPE HOLIDAY DETECTOR GENERATES HIGH VOLTAGES.THE OUTPUT VOLTAGES GENERATED, ARE WITHIN THE SAFE LIMITS OF FATAL "SHOCKHAZARD" ACCORDING TO THE U.S. GOVERNMENT STANDARDS. EXTREME CARE BYTHE OPERATOR OF THESE HOLIDAY DETECTORS MUST BE EXERCISED TO PREVENT ELECTRICALSHOCK. ELECTRICAL SHOCK FROM THIS EQUIPMENT CAN CAUSE SEVERE DISCOMFORTAND MAY CAUSE OPERATOR INJURY THROUGH FALLING OR OTHER MEANS. ACCIDENTSDO NOT JUST HAPPEN, THEY ARE CAUSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1.HOLIDAY DETECTOR FUNCTION The Tinker & Rasor Models AP and AP/WHoliday Detectors are portable, all purpose 2.UNPACKING & INSPECTION A. Upon opening the carrying case, noticewhere the various components are located; B. Inspection should be performed uponreceipt. If damage has occurred in shipment, file C. If it is necessary to contact your supplieror Tinker & Rasor concerning damaged or 3.CHECK-OUT INSTRUCTIONS A. Assure that Holiday Detector "ON/OFF"switch is in the "OFF" position. B. Using the Battery Tester, insert testplug (on Battery Tester) into Holiday Detector "charge FOR MODEL AP HOLIDAY DETECTOR (ONLY) A. Turn output voltage selection switch(on Detector) to desired voltage. (Voltages are listed B. Insert leather belt into slide loopson back of Detector if belt mounted method is to be C. Uncoil high voltage cable and plug thelong connector (3" collar) into one end of adapter D. Assemble the desired electrode to thewand assembly and apply to the pipe, tank, or E. Turn "ON/OFF" switch to "ON" position.(Note: When the switch is "ON", a buzzing should FOR MODEL AP/WHOLIDAY DETECTOR (ONLY) A. Turn output voltage selection switch(on Detector) to desired voltage. Voltages are listed B. Insert leather belt into slide loopson back of Detector if belt mounted method is used. C. Uncoil ground wire and plug connectorend into Detector port marked "ground". (The D. Attach wand to threaded, male end ofpowerpak. Insert powerpak cable (male connector) Note: Neverturn the AP/W on without plugging in the "HIGH VOLTAGE" cable or unplug E. Assemble the desired electrode to thewand assembly and apply to the pipe, tank, or other F. Turn "ON/OFF" switch on "ON" position.(Note: When the switch is "ON", a buzzing sound G. The AP/W is now ready to operate. 4.OPERATING METHODS A. Grounding 1. A good groundsystem will always give the best and most reliable inspection. 2. If individualjoints of pipe are to be inspected which are not electrically connected, B. Inspection Speed Speed of the electrodetravel over the inspection surface should be C. Operating Checks 1. Occasionalchecks of the Detector can be made if no holidays are being found. Move 2. If the signaldoes not sound when the spark jumps, the "ground return" resistance is 5.ABOUT YOUR HOLIDAY DETECTOR A. Sensitivity Switch The sensitivityof the Holiday Detector may be adjusted by turning the 4-position switch; B. Output Voltages Output voltagesare measured direct-connected, "open-circuit" using Tinker & Rasor CAUTION: Beforedisassembly of components, turn the "ON/OFF" switch to "OFF" position. 6.INSTRUMENT SERVICING A. Cleaning Keep instrumentclean and dry. Clean instrument case with soft cloth dampened with B. Voltage Output Checks 1. Low outputvoltage: a. Check position of voltage selector switch. 2. No Output Voltage: a. Check battery condition using Battery Tester. (See later comments onBattery). C. False Signal Indication Check 1. Adjust 4-positionrotary signal sensitivity switch through porthole provided on back panel a. Electrical "load" conditions vary greatly through pipe sizes, coatingthickness and 2. or the nextposition in a. clockwise direction. D. No signal with Spark Discharge 1. Check positionof signal sensitivity switch. 7.BATTERY CHARGING - CAUTION Place Holiday Detector "ON/OFF" Switchin "OFF" position while charging battery. A. Use only the Battery Charger provided(Part #031-005). B. Recharge battery in the instrument.Ventilation holes in front and back of instrument case C. Plug charger into polarized receptacleof instrument. Note: Battery cannot be testedor charged if instrument power switch is in the "ON" position. D. Plug A.C. power cord into any 120 volt60 Hz outlet.. E. Charge battery for 14 hours. F. Charge battery at temperatures above45 degrees for best results. G. If charger pilot light "out": (indicatesCharger is not operating). 1. Check positionof power switch. H. Disconnect charger from battery andA.C. outlet when not in use. 8.BATTERY MAINTENANCE A. When instrument fails to operate innormal manner, battery maybe fully discharged. B. Store at normal room temperature whennot in use. C. If battery has not been used for sixmonth or more, discharge completely and recharge for Note: If Holiday Detector failsto operate in normal manor, the first step is to test the battery condition. 9.SHIPPING INSTRUCTIONS All instruments being returned for repair should be sent PREPAID to either address below:
