specific number of controlled faults, which
the spark tester must correctly identify to
meet the norm.
The SM sensitivity module from Clinton Instrument Company
Once the procedure begins, the SM
completes the specified number of
faults without additional operator input.
The sensitivity module works with high
frequency, power mains frequency, and
DC spark testers of any manufacturer.
The SM is compact and portable, making
it easy to check spark testers while they
are installed on the wire line. The operator
simply selects the type of spark tester to
be checked and will then have visual
confirmation via a front panel digital
display of the detection current and
number of faults produced.
The SM is offered as an accessory to
the STCAL spark test voltage calibration
system, which performs voltage
calibrations of the most common spark
test units including AC (mains and high
frequency) and DC equipment, easily
calibrating spark test voltages up to 30KV
AC and 40KV DC.
The operator interface is a Windows 8 tablet
computer that controls the process and
can download the Calibration Certificate
to a memory stick through the onboard USB
port. The certificate can then be printed
and kept for historical use in any computer.
Combined use of the STCAL spark test
calibration systemand SM sensitivitymodule
assures the operator that the spark tester
complies with all known specifications.
