The premature corrosion of a substrate is often due to the failure of it's coating. Major causes of failure are flaws in the finished coating, these include pinholes, holidays, inclusions, thin spots and bubbles . The consequent cost of repairs, loss of production and contamination of the process can be considerable. Early inspection of coating flaws will prevent the expense and inconvenience of failure.
At a glance:
Safer, easier & more reliable testing than ever before
-
Avoids coating damage by limiting current
-
Ideal for field, site or laboratory testing
Features
The Elcometer 266 has been specifically designed to revolutionise high voltage DC testing of coatings by making it safer, easier and more reliable than previously possible.
Current limiting to avoid coating damage: When the Elcometer 266 detects a flaw, and sparks, the current flow reduces to a low level, minimising risk to both the user & the coating.
-
Automatic voltage calculator: No need for lookup tables, simply enter the coating thickness value and select the standard & the gauge will automatically set the voltage.
-
Safety hand grip: Ensures that high voltage can only be generated when the handle is being held.
-
Specialised ribbing provides superior protection while an optional second hand grip is ideal for two handed use.
-
Dual safety switch on handle to avoid accidental switch on
-
Voltage adjustable using the keypad : No need for screwdriver:
-
0.5kV - 1kV in 50V steps
-
1kV to 30kV in 100V steps
-
Internal jeep tester: Removing the need for 2 gauges. The closed loop system with internal voltmeter guarantees the voltage output at all times.
-
Specialised handle design: Extended ribbing on the handle provides an effective barrier between the high voltage and the user.
-
Rugged and waterproof to IP65: Rugged, waterproof IP65 case is sealed against the elements.
-
Accurate sensitivity adjustment: Allows use on metallised or slightly damp coatings.
-
Rechargeable & replaceable battery packs: Battery packs can be charged inside or outside the gauge for continued use
-
Interchangeable handles: 0.1–5kV, 0.1–15kV or 0.1–30kV adjustable in 0.1kV steps.
-
Adapter as an accessory: Enables use of accessories from other manufacturers
|
No need to use look up tables with the integrated voltage calculator. Enter the test standard and the coating thickness and the gauge will automatically program the correct voltage.
|
|
Interchangeable Probe Handles:
• 500 - 5,000 Volts
• 500 - 15,000 Volts
• 500 - 30,000 Volts |
|
Large, backlit display enables easy viewing even in dark environments. When a flaw is detected the backlight also flashes. |
|
Internal calibrated jeep tester and closed loop system ensures that the generated test voltage is accurately measured and continuously controlled, regardless of climatic conditions. |
|
The optional second hand grip is designed for two handed use without compromising its safety. Ideal for testing pipes and tank floors. |
|
Adjust voltage via keypad on the gauge, no need for screwdrivers.
Sensitivity to current can be manually preset or automatically adjusted by the gauge for partially conductive coatings. |
|
Elcometer 266 can be used with the accessories from the following gauges:
Elcometer 266 & Elcometer 136
-
Models AP, APS, AP/S1 & AP/S2
-
Models 780, 785 & 790
-
Models 10/20 & 14/20
|
|
Rechargeable battery packs can be charged inside or outside the gauge. Batteries are fully charged within 4 hours and provide up to 40 hours continuous use between charges. |
|
Bright LEDs on the handle, as well as a loud audible alarm, clearly indicate if the gauge is on (Red) and when a spark is detected (Blue). |
|
The easy to use menu driven displays can be viewed in multiple languages for optimum versatility. |
Safety Features
|
2-stage safety switch ensures that if the Elcometer 266 handle is not gripped, the handle will switch off. |
|
The speaker on the gauge clearly emits a ticking noise to indicate that there is voltage at the handle. |
|
The extended ribbing provides extra protection to the user and has been specifically designed to meet standard EN61010. High voltage testing has never been safer. |
|
A loud audible alarm is activated when a spark is detected. The beep volume can also be adjusted to ensure it can be heard - even in noisy environments. |
