4.2 The Bluetooth Serial Adaptor
The long-range (100m) Bluetooth serial adaptor is powered by the Probe and has been paired
with the Tablet/Laptop supplied with the Composite Insulator Tester.
4.3 Instant Graphical GO/NO-GO Reporting Capability
The Positron Composite Insulator Tester enables on-site a GO/NOGO decision making capability.
A scan instantly downloaded to the Tablet/Laptop from the Probe is used to get a graphic
representation of the E-field distribution of a composite (polymeric) insulator showing any
floating or connected defects. A decision emergency replacement or establishing safety levels for
live-line work can then be made.
During the scanning of an insulator, the Probe Operator manipulates the Insulator Tester with a
hot stick, while the Tablet Operator uses the Tablet/Laptop. Once the scan is done, the Tablet
Operator can immediately download the data to get the graphic representation of the distribution
of the E-field along the composite (polymeric) insulator.
Once the Tablet Operator has downloaded the data from the Probe and has viewed the graph of
the insulator’s E-field, the Tablet Operator can choose to Accept or Reject the scan using the
Windows-based Insulator Tester software interface installed on the Tablet/Laptop. In either case,
the data in the Probe gathered during the scan will be deleted after download to the
Tablet/Laptop.
