TEST PROCEDURE AND CHECKLIST

A1

Conduct a visual and touch inspection of the impressed current anode

cable insulation immediately adjacent to the head of the anode. Anode
leads with noticeable "necking", or an obvious reduction in diameter of
the insulation, shall not be used.

SAES-X-400
Sec. 6.2.1.2

A2

Inspect all cables and lead wires for burial for insulation damage
immediately prior to installation. Inspect with a pulse type holiday
detector set at 18,000 volts DC.

SAES-X-400
Sec. 6.2.1.2

A3

Check the holiday detector before using according to the manufacturer's

instructions.

SAES-X-600
Sec. 5.4.3

A4

Conduct the inspection with a certified and calibrated pulse type holiday
detector set at 18,000 volts DC. The calibration date shall not exceed 6
months.

SAES-X-400
Sec. 6.2.1.2

A5

Do not use anodes with cables that fail the dielectric test.

SAES-X-400
Sec. 6.2.1.2

A6

Repair of the insulation for buried positive cable by any method is

prohibited.

SAES-X-400
Sec. 6.4.3

A7

CHECK-OUT INSTRUCTIONS
a) Make sure that the detector is turned OFF.
b) Select the specific voltage required by the CP manufacturer.
c) Attach electrode to the voltage probe assembly and apply to the cable
to be inspected. The electrode should always make intimate contact with
the surface under inspection.
Ref: Ref: Instrument Instruction Manual

SAES-X-400
Sec. 6.4.3

A8

OPERATING METHODS
a) The cable to be inspected must be grounded from the bare cable to
earth at some point along the cable. If individual joints of the cable are to
be inspected that are not electrically connected, each joint must be
grounded. Ref: Instrument Instruction Manual

SAES-X-400
Sec. 6.4.3

A9

c) Occasional checks of the detector operation should be made,

particularly if no holidays are being found.
Ref: Instrument Instruction Manual

SAES-X-400
Sec. 6.4.3

A10

b) Voltage Output Checks

In case of LOW output voltage:
a. Check position of voltage selector switches.
b. Check battery (is it fully charged?).
c. Check for "parted conductor in voltage probe and/or ground trail.

SAES-X-400
Sec. 6.4.3

A11

Inspect positive cables for insulation damage immediately prior to the
