The Elcometer
266 has been specifically designed to revolutionise high voltage
DC testing of coatings by making it safer, easier and more reliable
than previously possible.
Voltage calculator
automatically sets the correct voltage from your coating thickness
value
Voltage adjustable
using the keypad - no need for screwdriver:
0.5kV - 1kV
in 50V steps
1kV to 30kV
in 100V steps
Internal Jeep
tester ensures that the selected voltage equals the test voltage
5kV, 15kV and
30kV DC versions available
Audible and visual
alarms are activated when a flaw is detected
Specialised ribbing
provides superior protection while an optional second hand grip is
ideal for two handed use
Dual safety switch
on handle to avoid accidental switch on
Battery packs
can be recharged inside or outside the gauge for continued use
Adapter enables
use of accessories from other manufacturers

Features
FEATURES
No
need to use look up tables with the integrated voltage
calculator. Enter the test standard and the coating thickness
and the gauge will automatically program the correct voltage.
Adjust
voltage via keypad on the gauge, no need for screwdrivers.
Sensitivity to current can be manually preset or automatically
adjusted by the gauge for partially conductive coatings.

Elcometer
266 can be used with the accessories from the following
gauges:
Elcometer
236 & Elcometer 136
Models
AP, APS, AP/S1 & AP/S2
Models
780, 785 & 790
Models

Large,
backlit display enables easy viewing even in dark environments.
When a flaw is detected the backlight also flashes.
Rechargeable
battery packs can be charged inside or outside the gauge.
Batteries are fully charged within 4 hours and provide up
to 40 hours continuous use between charges.
Internal
calibrated jeep tester and closed loop system ensures
that the generated test voltage is accurately measured
and continuously controlled, regardless of climatic conditions.
Bright
LEDs on the handle, as well as a loud audible alarm, clearly
indicate if the gauge is on (Red) and when a spark is detected
(Blue).
The
optional second hand grip is designed for two handed use
without compromising its safety. Ideal for testing pipes
and tank floors.
The
easy to use menu driven displays can be viewed in multiple
languages for optimum versatility.
SAFETY FEATURES
2-stage
safety switch ensures that if the Elcometer 266 handle
is not gripped, the handle will switch off.
The
extended ribbing provides extra protection to the user and
has been specifically designed to meet standard EN61010.
High voltage testing has never been safer.
The
speaker on the gauge clearly emits a ticking noise to
indicate that there is voltage at the handle.
A
loud audible alarm is activated when a spark is detected.
The beep volume can also be adjusted to ensure it can be
heard - even in noisy environments.
