This is the first generation regulator tester, launched some 20 years ago. This was then followed by the TA289 regulator and just recently the latest generation TA389 Multifunction Regulator. Even though this tester is the oldest of our Regulator Testers - it still works magnificently well and is still manufactured with the highest standard of quality, for those not looking to spend more on the latest Multifunctional Regulator Tester.
This tester automatically tests 12v and 24v regulators for pass or fail and accurately Displays the regulating voltage. It tests in a Dynamic mode I.e. the regulator is constantly switching on and off when under test. Useful for voltage regulator manufacturers, Auto-Electricians and warranty departments.
