When it comes to mapping
the terminals of an office or commercial establishment it can be a very tedious process. Tasco has developed a product to help relieve the technician of some of the headache normally involved in circuit mapping.
Summer is in full bore
and there is no better time to discuss Testo’s 550 Refrigerant System Analyzers. These analyzers are a great upgrade for any technician who is not currently using a RSA.
Part of having a safe working
environment is making sure you are not in the presence of Combustible Gases that could be an explosion hazard. The Inficon Gas-Mate Combustible Gas Leak Detector is tuned to Methane but can be used to detect many other gases such as Natural Gas, Ethanol, Ammonia, Propane and Butane.
Today I will be discussing
the Inficon CO Check Carbon Monoxide Meter. Everyone knows the dangers of CO poisoning and that it does not take much exposure to start feeling the effects. Carrying around a easy to use handheld monitor is a great step to assuring your safety.
Today I will be reviewing the 
Tasco PTL610 Power Trace Advanced Breaker Tracer. Precision and convenience are two key areas that Tasco really nails with this new breaker tracer.
The Tasco PTL610 operates very similarly to the basic premise of other breaker tracers. What I mean by this is that you have a transmitter that sends a signal down the wire and the receiver will pick it up on the other end.
Refrigerant leak detection
is a technology that is always improving. Sensitivities are constantly improving as well as the life expectancy of sensors. Inficon remains a leader in this regard as their new Inficon D-TEK Select 712-202-G1 Refrigerant Leak Detector is outstanding. The sensitivity on this unit is very low at 0.10 oz/yr(3 gm/yr). This allows you to find just about any leak a system might have.
CO2 is beginning to see
use as a refrigerant (R744) and Inficon has designed a leak detector that is specifically designed to pick up this specific gas.
Vacuum Gauges are very important
tools that assist you during any HVAC job where you are evacuating a system. When you pull a vacuum on a system to completely “dry” a system and remove all contaminants it is important to know if everyone is working as intended. This is where the Yellow Jacket eVac I and eVac II Digital Vacuum Gauge earn their stripes. The eVac I is the bare bones variety of vacuum gauges but that does not mean it is junky.
Personal Safety in the working
environment is a very important issue. The Bacharach Snifit Plus Carbon Monoxide Monitor is a personal safety device that makes sure you are safe when entering and working on a job site. It does not take much carbon monoxide concentration to cause sickness and even death.
Being able to effectively manage
and monitor complex networks is not an easy task. There a lot of options out there for devices that offer to help in that regard. The Psiber Pro70 and Pro75 PingerPro Cable and Network Management Tools are both great new devices that will fit your needs. These tools offer a wide array of testing protocols for both Network and Cable Testing.
