Signal Strength Analyzer
1160
Eliminate trips to a site with TESCO’s CAT. 1160 Signal Strength Analyzer. When a meter is not reporting reliably to the Head-end, or for a new meter, concentrator, or antenna installation, TESCO’s SSA will show you the best location for the equipment. Be certain that your antenna placement is in the best location. The SSA actually joins the network, locates and analyzes all the neighbors, and provides a visual indication of the relative signal strength, quality, and throughput of each of them.

Desktop Meter Qualification Board
2199
Providing complete capabilities for evaluating meters and communications performance, TESCO’s Desktop Meter Qualification Board (Catalog No. 2199) can generate any voltage and load conditions the meter may encounter in the field. Apply non-sinusoidal voltages with complex load waveforms. Perform disconnect tests and reconnect tests without having to worry about being able to drive the meter’s switches.

Burden Set – Current
BSC-102
The industry has recognized the actual load (burden) on CTs is lower than the standard ANSI burdens allow. So a new IEEE Specification (IEEE C57.13.6) accommodates that fact by introducing two new burdens and two new accuracy classes. This new specification address “High Accuracy”CTs.

Meter Test Switches
TESCO introduced the original Meter Test Switch in the early 1920’s. Today, TESCO’s line of Test Switches has been redesigned with the intention to combine the best features of tried and proven switching methods with improvements in materials and construction. All of the current carrying parts are bright tin plated to prevent corrosion. Good operating contact is assured on periodic meter tests, even when the switch has been idle for long periods of time in an unfavorable atmosphere.

Precision Multirange Voltage Transformers
WP-36000
The WP-36000 Transformer is primarily a laboratory standard. The high degree of accuracy and multiplicity of ranges makes this transformer the standard for precision calibration work. With the aid of this transformer, very accurate determination can be made of the ratio and phase angle characteristics of voltage transformers having ratings from 14,400 to 36,000 volts.

CT/PT Bus-Bar Safety Protector
6450
The TESCO CT/PT Bus-Bar Safety Protector (Catalog No. 6450) has been developed to assist in the safe disconnect of a hot sequenced current transformer. After service is disconnected, the TESCO CT/PT Bus-Bar Safety Protector is slid over the bus-bar of the load side of the transformer and prevents accidental connection and/or arcing.

Third Rail Voltage Tester
4E2-1
The Knopp 4E2-1 Voltage Tester is designed to detect electrical potential (voltage) between the third rail and ground on high voltage electrified transit systems. Two, redundant neon bulbs are used to indicate the presence of voltage. The prod handle and the tester housing are both made from moisture- and oil-resistant laminated phenolic. The prod tips are made from stainless steel. The tester housing includes a rubber hand guard to guide the operator in proper placement of his or her hand. There are no exposed metal parts other than to the two prod tips. All internal connections are soldered.
