Hastings 6709-1 Regulator Neutral Detector (RND)

Prior to testing, the conductors at the regulator must be identified.

• The RND (Regulator Neutral Detector) insures that the operator has the regulator in its neutral position prior to disconnecting the regulator from the circuit (bypassing)
• Use of the RND eliminates high or low voltages caused by cycling the regulator to the upper or lower limits and then counting steps back to neutral
• The RND provides benefits not found in existing testers presently being used for detecting the regulator neutral
• Use of the RND may eliminate outages taken because of uncertainties of the regulator neutral position
• The RND verifies the neutral position on regulators
• The RND works with step type and induction type regulators
• 0 to 2000 volt range is shown in one volt increments
• The RND works with all regulators up to and including 34.5KV systems
• No range selector is required
• The RND has a digital display with 1/2" high LCD digits for easy viewing
• Lighted meter for use at night, or in poor lighting conditions can be switched on by the operator
• The RND is powered by a readily available 9 volt battery and is field replaceable. If a low battery condition exists, it will be indicated on the display
• The RND verifies the step indicator has not slipped one step
• A female universal spline allows unit to be attached to all universal hot sticks
• Contact electrodes are knurled to aid contact with conductors. Electrodes are removable for compact storage
