Current Monitors ABCM Series of Boom

The ABCM-44 and ABCM-44B are state of the art current monitors designed for continuous operation during bare-hand work. The ABCM has an adjustable set point (5 presets also available on ABCM-44B) between 1 and 400 microamperes AC or DC. A 90-dB horn sounds an audible warning if this current set point is ever exceeded during use.

The ABCM-44 and ABCM-44B are extremely rugged and dependable current monitors. Designed for operation a variety of weather conditions, the ABCM provides the security needed for bare-hand live-line work.

Additional Features of the ABCM 44B:

• 1. Meter accuracy check using the internal precision current source
• 2. Metering of test circuit for boom metering bands
• 3. Metering of test circuit for hoses
• 4. Metering of test circuit for leveling rods or fiber optics
• 5. Total test including the sum of all three circuits
• 6. Display variable set point
• 7. Check the continuity of each input circuit
• 8. Continuity check of each input circuit.

• Rugged, Dependable Design
• Automatic Safety Check forgrounded test cables

Note: Daily use of this monitor does not eliminate the need to perform periodic over-voltage tests on aerial lift devices. The absolute minimum recommended over-voltage test should be a DC test of 2.1 times the line to ground exposure or an AC test of 1.5 times the line to ground exposure.
