Smart Thump 16

Powerful, mobile and robust fault location system for fault location in low and medium voltage cable systems

This new system requires significantly less training than a traditional thumper-only system. The SMART-Thump™ 16 is the only fault locator with built-in intelligence to interpret the results of the initial test sequence. The “Turn & Click” rotary button operation lets the user automatically proof test, prelocate, and pinpoint the fault from one convenient control console. No adjustments are required. 

Key benefits:

• 1500 J at 8 / 16 kV, 16 kV DC-HV proof test 23/46mA Burning
• Integrated ARM and ICE Prelocation
• Easy Go - automatic sequence to proof test, pre-locate & pinpoint
• Automatic interpretation of test results
• Sunlight readable, transflective 5.7” TFT colour display
• Safe OP Check protects user from incorrect or faulty lead connections
• USB interface for trace export via USB flash drive

Available modes

• ARM® Arc Refl ection Method
• ICE (Surge Pulse)
• Direct surging (Thump)
• DC-HV proof test with breakdown recognition
• Burning
• Sheath testing and pinpointing

All results are automatically shown on the transflexive

5.7‘‘ TFT display as ARM reference and fault trace.

The integrated battery with charger and inverter provides

sufficient power for a minimum of 30 minutes of surge

operation, which is in many cases sufficient for the location

of two faults.
