In support of National Apprenticeship Week (8-14 February), Test Instrument Solutions is giving away a TIS 851 SIKIT Voltage & Continuity Complete Safe Isolation Kit to one lucky apprentice. Read on to find out what two electrical professionals had to say about the kit.
Test Instrument Solutions offer a variety of test equipment, including voltage testers and continuity testers. The company’s range of apprentice safe isolation kits are particularly useful – and affordable – for apprentice electricians.
Commenting on the kits, Adrian Davey, a college lecturer who trains electrical apprentices, says, “Test Instrument Solutions has created a full safe isolation kit with GS38 and BSEN 61243-3:2014 voltage indicator, proving unit, and well stocked lockout kits for an affordable amount of money for any apprentice and electrician alike.
“I have been showing these kits to apprentices for over a year now and cannot recommend them highly enough. It is a passion of mine to get safe isolation kits into the hands of apprentices from day one, and these kits make that achievable.”
The TIS 819 SIKIT Voltage Only Complete Safe Isolation Kit contains:
- TIS 819 Voltage Tester – 12V 690V AC/DC
- TIS PU1 Proving Unit
- TIS PUK Dual Instrument Pouch
- TIS BKIT (Lockout Kit including Hasp, Padlocks, Tag, etc)
Please watch below for a video demonstration of this true, complete safe isolation kit.
Adrian says, “The TIS 819 is the entry level kit of the range that will keep you safe and those around you safe. The kit comprises of a basic voltage indicator with quick glance LED indication to show voltage, which does the job. The kit comes with the standard TIS proving unit, which is small and compact, and the lockout kit is the same quality of those with a much larger price bracket.”
Mark Allison, from Power Sonic Ltd & Apprentice 121, adds, “The TIS 819 tester doesn’t require batteries to use and has really bright LEDs, so there’s no mistake if something is live. Also included is a proving unit housed in a case with access holes to the sockets, so there’s no reason not to have it with you at all times and use.”
TIS 851 SIKIT Voltage & Continuity Complete Safe Isolation Kit contains:
- TIS 851 Voltage & Continuity Tester – LCD and LED Voltage/Continuity Tester with Phase Rotation & Built In Proving Test
- TIS PU1 Proving Unit
- TIS PUK Dual Instrument Pouch
- TIS BKIT (Lockout Kit including Hasp, Padlocks, Tag, etc)
Please watch below for a video demonstration of the TIS 851.
Adrian says, “The TIS 851 is the next step up with quick glance LED indication, LCD display, phase rotation, continuity and a handy LED light for quick illumination to enable you to position the probes safely in dark areas. The kit comes with the standard TIS proving unit, lockout kit, bum bag and colour coded carry for the kit, which is better than just having a cable tidy for your leads.”
“The price is a step up from the 819, but so is the quality to match. If you can afford the extra, I would suggest this kit out of the two.”
Mark adds, “The TIS 851 SIKIT variant includes a rather useful voltage tester compliant again to BSEN 61243-3, but the extra bits you get for your money on the voltage tester are the ability to carry out continuity and phase rotation tests, along with a torch and self-check mode.
“All in all, I found the components to be well constructed and good value for money.”
