Using the Composite Railway-Insulator Tester & Software
40
An instant determination can be made by the Tablet Operator whether to Reject or Accept the
last insulator scan. Here are some examples of scans to be rejected:

Incomplete scan: The Tester operator stopped for any reasons the scan before reaching
the end of the scan

Shed missing: The sled jumped over a shed or skirt because the operator didn’t apply
enough pressure on the hot-stick

Curves don’t match: If two scans have been performed, the two curves should be
almost identical

Practice session: The first time, it is recommended to perform some “dummy” scans to
get used to the manipulation of the hot-stick
If the scan
is rejected, a system message will be returned asking if you are sure you want to delete the
downloaded data. If
rejected , the data is erased from the Insulator Tester Software database.
If accepted , the data from one or more
scans, with the unique identifiers, is
retained in the results database of the
Insulator Tester Software database.
