CHECKMASTER - Arrester testing at the highest level
Testing surge arresters is recommended by the lighting protection directive of the VdS (Verband der Sachversicherer - Property Insurer Association) and in the German standard DIN V VDE V 0185 - Part 3. This test can be carried out easily, safely and reliably with the CHECKMASTER, the arrester test device for all plug-in surge arresters from Phoenix Contact.
Taking the tolerance limits into account, an assertion can be made regarding potential pre-damage to the surge arrester. On the display and in the log, such predamage is documented with the note: "Tolerance limit reached. Exchange recommended".
To provide a permanent record, CHECKMASTER has an RS-232/C, V-24 interface to which a PC or printer can be connected. The results of the individual arrester tests can thus be printed out and processed in a protocol with date, time and other identification.
The CHECKMASTER provides more functions than this one.
- Simple test sequence: Selecting, scanning, testing, logging
- Cost-effective thanks to "on-site testing"
- Update via Internet, which saves on shipping costs for updating
- Extendable through modular test cassettes
