Airblast PHD-620 Pinhole Tester

The Airblast PHD-620 Pinhole Tester is a portable, battery-operated device designed to detect pinholes and other defects in non-conductive coatings on metal substrates. The tester uses a high-voltage electrical current to pass through a wet sponge that is placed on the surface of the coating. If a pinhole or defect is present, the water will create a conductive path between the metal substrate and the high-voltage current, causing an alarm to sound and a red flashing light to illuminate.

The PHD-620 is ideal for use in a variety of industries, including automotive, aerospace, and marine. It can be used to test the integrity of coatings on a wide range of materials, including metal, plastic, and composite. The tester is easy to use and requires minimal training.

PHD-620 PINHOLE TESTER
OPERATION
Safety
Safety precautions must be strictly adhered to whilst using the PHD-620 Pinhole Tester.
The PHD-620 must not be used in any area which could have a combustible or ammable atmosphere, as
the test voltage can cause a spark and an explosion could occur.
All items under test must have a secure connection to earth or ground.
Testing
Connect the plugs on the PHD-620 handle and earth cable to the colour-coded sockets on the base of the
instrument. Fit the sponge assembly to the PHD-620 handle.
Connect the earth cable to the base metal of the item under test. It is essential that the base metal of the
item being tested is also connected to a true earth.
Switch the PHD-620 on and select the test voltage of 9V, 67.5V or 90V using the Mode keypad. Wet the
sponge with water containing a wetting agent, then place the sponge on the coating to be tested and
move over the full area of the coating. If a pinhole is detected, the water will make a conductive path
through the pinhole in the coating to the metal substrate, the alarm will sound and the red ashing Fault
indicator will illuminate. The aw can now be marked for repair and further testing can be resumed.
To switch the PHD-620 off, press the Mode keypad until the selectable voltages indicators are not illumi-
nated.
Replacing Battery
When the battery requires replacement, the red Lo Bat indicator will illuminate. To replace, remove the
cover located on the rear of the instrument. Replace with an alkaline PP3 battery, ensuring correct pola-
rity.
