Accommodates GE and EMD Locomotives.
The tester is battery powered with charger and mounted on a cart for ease of movement. It includes mounting locations that allow for GE and EMD speed sensing cables to be mounted directly to the tester. The tester powers a 192 tooth gear that is proximate to the cable magnetic pick up. The tester can be powered in both directions using a 75' cable and pendant that the electrician operates in the cab of the locomotive. It has a range of 0-2800 RPM in both directions.
The tester helps identify faulty cables, cable connections, wiring faults and ensures proper operation of the AC wheel slip systems.
It is complete with a cable expansion for the location on the GE locomotive that prevents direct cable connection to the tester.
