AA Neon Tube Tester
Save's "time & money" on the work site by quickly testing tubes!
When the antenna is touched to the tubing wall or electrode wires, the tester will cause the viable tubing to illuminate in a pulsating manor. This pulsing feature is fantastic for testing neon in bright sunlight as it is easier to see the light when flashing.

"It's Back"... Neon Load Tester
This unit easily measures the voltage required to operate neon tubes, helping determine the correct transformer size for a sign or specific section of neon.
Super Simple to use by connecting the two GTO wires to the electrodes where a standard transformer would normally attach. The built-in digital meter displays the operating voltage needed for the neon. The unit comes equipped with alligator clips and features integrated open-circuit protection for added safety.
-
Accurately measures the voltage required to operate neon tubes, helping determine the correct transformer size for a sign or specific section.
-

High-Frequency Test Coil
This industrial "High Frequency Test Coil" is most commonly used by the neon industry for detecting leaks in a pumping system; the spark generated by the coil via the solid tip, will enter the tube through the leak and become bright white at the point at which it enters.

Additional Technical Information
​
Output: Between 20,000 to 45,000 vts, at a frequency of approx. 500 kHz.
Current output of the spark is about 1 mA.
This model is a variation of the tesla coil. It has a primary coil which produces an output voltage of about 1200 V at the input line frequency, 50 or 60 Hz. This output voltage is interrupted by a vibrating contact, energized by this coil at twice the line frequency. The output voltage of this primary coil is connected to capacitors, which are then discharged into a high voltage coil.
The capacitance, resistance and inductance of this circuit is designed to oscillate, or ring, at a very high frequency, in this case 500 kHz. The output of this high voltage coil is adjustable by varying the distance of the vibrating contacts, which is user adjustable, by means of a knob on the end of the unit.
Applications include pinhole leak detection, as in linings of tanks and other similar metal objects, and in plastic welds, where a test metal backing is applied. Other applications include ionizing a gas inside a lamp, neon sign, double-pane insulated windows, pharmaceutical vial, or similar glass vessel where a deep vacuum is contained.
