The green LED housed in the OhmGuard will pulse continuously if the hose has an electrical continuity of less than 100 ohms with the truck.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Benefits<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Proves the hoses have good electrical continuity with the earthing truck<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0 One time test with visual GO \/ NO GO indication<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0 Enables early detection of faults without the need to wait for scheduled periodic testing<\/li>\n<li>Easy to operate drivers do not need specialist training<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Intrinsically Safe certification for EX \/ HAZLOC requirements<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Lower cost than equivalent EX \/ HAZLOC approved multimeters<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Robust Stainless Steel construction and more robust than multimeters in the field<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Tungsten carbide teeth penetrate any slurries or deposits caked onto the hose end fitting<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hose Continuity Tester<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"fusion-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.athex.eu\/pdf\/datasheets\/newson-gale_athex_ohm-guard_en.pdf\">DATASHEET [EN] Ohm-Guard<\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"fusion-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.athex.eu\/pdf\/datasheets\/newson-gale_athex_ohm-guard_fr.pdf\">DATASHEET [FR] Ohm-Guard<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4353,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[46,54,49],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-3001","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-mobiele-oplossingen","product_cat-statisch-aarden","product_cat-testapparaten","first","instock","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Ohm-Guard | ATEX Hose Continuity Tester for Static Safety | ATHEX<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The Ohm-Guard is an intrinsically safe continuity tester for hoses and plant equipment.
