The dual tester monitors up to two cables concurrently and monitors the integrity of both the core to core and core to ground resistance. Throughout the installation it will provide a precise resistance reading and both flash and sound an alarm when the circuit is interrupted.
DTC-1 Dual Cable Tester
Data
Operation Guide
This custom built tester is the fruit of years in the heating cable business. Installers rarely have the right tools to complete the job, required to take various ohms readings, yet find themselves with flimsy ‘beepers’. The dual tester monitors up to two cables concurrently and monitors the integrity of both the core to core and core to ground resistance. Throughout the installation it will provide a precise resistance reading and both flash and sound an alarm when the circuit is interrupted.
The Dual Cable Tester allows for two load-neutral-ground connections of cables of any voltage. It will measure resistance from 2 Ohms to 1000 Ohms with a 1% precision margin. Via a 9V battery it will send a continuous signal into the cable to monitor (1) a stable resistance between cores and (2) the absence of resistance on the ground sheath or cable.
All manufacturers require resistance readings to be logged before, during and after the installation. This tool allows them to do just that and continuously monitor core-to-core and core-to-ground integrity. Not only does it facilitate compliance with manufacturer’s installation instructions and warranty requirements, but it provides peace of mind when embedding a cable under a costly flooring installation.
