The output voltage of your holiday detector is subject to influence by
weather conditions, moisture on the pipe, improper grounding, and
soil conditions. In order to assure the absolute highest accuracy and
performance from your holiday detectors (jeeps). Pipeline Inspection
Company has developed three special JeepMeters for checking detector
voltage output. These JeepMeters are designed to accurately measure
the output voltage of any detector.
The SPY
®
Model JM JeepMeter provides the ultimate in accuracy
and versatility. It features a digital display of measured voltages. The
precision measurement displayed eliminates interpretation errors and is
perfect for every day use.
This JeepMeter measures both pulse and DC voltage output. For pulse
type holiday detectors, used to inspect shrink sleeves, tapes, coal tars,
etc, the JM will measure up to 40 kV. For DC holiday detectors, used
to inspect thin film epoxy coatings, the DC range of JM measures up
to 5 kV.
When used with pulse type detectors, this JeepMeter automatically
senses the polarity of the pulse. Leading-edge electronics solve the
stability and repeatability problems sometimes experienced in the older
models.
