Truck Boom Leakage-Current Monitor

To alert utility-line workers of overcurrent conditions on truck booms, the Sentinel sounds an alarm if leakage current reaches pre-set level. The leakage setting adjusts from I to 1,000 icroamperes in resolution increments of 0. 1 microamp. The audible warning eliminates the need towatch the actual current level, continuously displayed on the Sentinel's digital LCD screen. The alarm sounds immediately upon overcurrent and continues until the condition is corrected. To also trigger a truck horn or other external alarm, a jack on instrument panel accepts a standard 'A" two-conductor phone plug. A test terminal on the panel permits a simple continuity check of the monitor leads prior to each operation, Before each use, the instrument automatically performs a rapid electronic selftest. Simple operating steps are printed on the inside lid panel. A detailed instruction sheet also comes with each unit.
