Pro-Tester

Currently under development, the Pro-Tester will be designed and produced within SSL, this hand held device quickly and concisely tests Lightning Protection Units combining convenience with durability.

Pro-Tester – Hand held lightning protection circuit tester.

  • Operates from a 9V PP3 Battery.
  • Digital display shows voltages between 0 to 199.9V.
  • Easy to use.
  • Robust - ABS enclosure with protective rubber boot.
  • Fast diagnostics.

Two Operational modes:

- Breakdown voltage measure
- Transient peak measure

Breakdown voltage measure

The Pro-Tester provides comprehensive testing of the health of all semiconductor diodes and tranzorbs in lightning protection circuits. (Does not measure gas discharge devices). The Pro-Tester measures clamp voltages of semiconductors and tranzorbs with breakdown voltages up to 120V.

Transient peak measure

Transient peak measure provides on the spot diagnostics for detecting transients and spurious voltages that are sometimes present on RS485 communications lines.

The Pro-Tester will measure a peak voltage to an accuracy of 1V ±10%.The Pro-Tester captures peak voltages up to 199.9V for signals and pulses as low as 100us.

Polarity of transients measured can be determined and if they are ac or dc, provided the Pro-Tester is connected to the communications line in the correct polarity with respect to the signal.
