MODEL AP/W 

HIGH VOLTAGE HOLIDAY DETECTOR 

(NEW PRODUCT RELEASE 2015) 

 

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.
