Yellow Jacket, a Ritchie Engineering Company, is a proud manufacturer of built in the USA Vacuum Pumps. The Yellow Jacket Bullet series is their economical line of vacuum pumps but that doesn’t mean they are cheaply made. These vacuum pumps are available in 3, 5, and 7 CFM Models depending on the size of the system you are looking to evacuate. They all feature a wide base with rubber legs to keep them in place during use.

Hello everyone. Toady’s post is going to spotlight the Armada Pro300 Wire and Valve Locator. I have explained some basic wire locating principles in previous posts but I will briefly address them again here and then discuss the features that make the Armada Pro300 unique.

Functionality and Ease of Use are two very important qualities to consider when you are in the market for an underground cable locator. Armada Technologies covers all these bases with their versatile Pro871C Underground Cable Locator.

Tracking and finding faults that are buried underground can be a painstaking task if you don’t have the right tools for the job. The Armada GFL3000 Ground Fault Locator fills this role splendidly as that is precisely what it was designed to do. The GFL3000 comes with two basic components, a transmitter and the receiver.

The AEMC 3731 Clamp-On Ground Resistance Tester has been discontinued.

Today we’re going to take a look at the AEMC 3731 Clamp-On Ground Resistance Tester. To be honest, I tend to think that electricity is a kind of magic. The best way I’ve found to understand it is to make comparisons to the flow of water and the various aids and impediments to said flow. Water, being a much more tactile phenomenon is easier for the more lay folks like myself. This analogy leaves out some of the unique and complex features of electricity but it works as a guide.

When it comes to testing equipment it can be easy to get lost in the latest and greatest technology. For ground resistance testing, sometimes less is more. The AEMC 3620-150 3-Point Ground Resistance Tester happens to be one of these testers. This ground resistance tester has a large analog display that shows direct readings from 0.5 to 1000 ohms. There is also a manual zero adjustment to increase the accuracy of your readings. Looking at the AEMC 3620 you can see there is very little to set up.

Portable Megohmmeters are not your everyday item, but when dealing with high voltages you want to err on the side of caution. The AEMC 6550 and AEMC 6555 Portable Megohmmeters test DC voltages up to 10,000 and 15,000 respectively. These units come built into a rugged IP54 rated case that can handle the rumble and tumble of the everyday real world environment you work in. Both units offer live measurement of voltage to be sure you are working under safe conditions.

I can safely assume many moons have passed since you’ve purchased your last Butt Set. A lot has changed since then and I am here to showcase the T3 Innovation TLA300 Tel-Scope Line Analyzer. This isn’t your Grandpa’s Butt Set that is for sure. For starters, the TL300 has embedded processor technology as well as a digital backlit LCD Display with glow in the dark keypad.

Greetings. In this post I’m going to take a look at the Armada Pro800D, detailing its many features and giving you a brief recap of my hands on time using the locator in the field. The Pro800D’s transmitter is built in to the rugged carrying case so you don’t have to worry about lugging around any extra equipment.
