In comparison to older testers the Insulated Rail Joint Tester SICO 2046 offers an innovative
solution providing true resistance measurements from insulated rail joints.
The solution is a current measurement with a separate current sensor, which is wound around
the rail joint. Only the current through the rail joint is measured. Parallel current paths close to
the insulated joint wont distort the current measurement. Thanks to its elaborate measuring
principle the tester separates the current flow from external portions, e.g. current from the
impedance bond, connecting line or ballast, and distinguishes between the actual resistance of
the joint and parallel loads.
The voltage is measured contactless, too; the resistance of only the rail joint is identified.

The user can easily simulate the measuring result with help of a test resistor.
Always the result of the test resistor in Ohm is displayed.
The SICO 2046 can be operated at any type of signal plant and insulated rail joint.

The V-sensor provides the measuring system with the voltage result of the tested insulated
rail joint. It measures the voltage contactless. Magnets in the high insulating plastic film help
to have a good permanent mechanical contact to the rail.

The C-sensor must be located before the next conductor branches off (view right picture
above).
The C-sensor shall only be bent around the rail or the joint (view right picture at the bottom)
and must not include further conductors (view left picture at the bottom).

The direction in which the handles of the two coils are pointing is irrelevant for the
measurement.
They can either be placed on the rail head or pointing to the side (view pictures).

With help of the test resistor 33 Ohm the user can prove the correct display of
the measuring result. Thus, the measuring result can be referred to a reliable
reference.
