electrode. It is therefore recommended that the user does not activate the high voltage within the vicinity
of sensitive electronics or radio equipment.
DO NOT SHORTEN THE GROUND CABLE. NEVER TOUCH THE BARE GROUND WIRE WHEN THE
DETECTOR IS TURNED ON.
WARNING! USE CAUTION WHEN RAINING. If it is raining then there is a safety concern for the operator.
Surface water on the sub straight is usually not conductive enough to transmit voltage, but almost any
contaminant will cause water to become more conductive. If water covers the wand handle while
connected to the APW Power-Pak or the APS Instrument, then the operator could become the return path
for the high voltage. While the output voltage will cause harm to a healthy person, according to OSHA,
your environment must be taken into consideration when operating this type of equipment. For example;
if you are standing on top of a flag pole and receive a jolt of high voltage, it will most likely cause you to
jump, and you will fall off the flag pole.
Stay Alert, Stay Aw are and Stay Alive
.
If it isn’t raining, but the coating surface is wet, Tinker & Rasor Holiday Detectors are designed to
minimize the effects of damp or wet coatings. In extreme cases, “ghost” holidays might be witnessed,
should a continual path of water reach a holiday. If this continues, dry the sub straight and continue
testing.
It is important to note that all accidents are preventable. Take caution w hen using Tinker &
Rasor holiday detectors or any other high voltage test equipment.
3. CHECK-OUT INSTRUCTIONS
•
Remove all accessories from the shipping carton.
•
Connect high voltage wand by screwing onto front of PowerPak. Connect
PowerPak to instrument by lining up the wide key of the connector with the
mating connector on the front of the instrument. Insert the connector fully into its
mate and turn clockwise ¼ turn. If the connector does not turn easily, try pushing
the cable connector more firmly into the instrument case connector mate. A
positive lock will be felt when the cable connector is properly attached to the
instrument.
•
Attach the ground cable to instrument. The cable connector is pushed into its
mating connector located on the front of the instrument case, in the lower Left
corner. Insert and twist clockwise to lock.
NOTE: Never connect or disconnect the ground cable or PowerPak when the
instrument is turned on.
•
The Model AP/W Holiday Detector is now ready to be set for a specific voltage.
•
Remove the dust cover with the supplied screwdriver, to reveal the voltage
adjustment knob.
•
Push and HOLD the Power button on the panel of the Instrument case. Then
push either the LOW or HIGH button to set the voltage range.
