ERICO® INTERCEPTOR Terminal Testing
SI25i, SI40i, and SI60i Series
The procedure below is to provide guidance for testing of the ERICO INTERCEPTOR SI25i, SI40i and SI60i air
terminals using commonly available test equipment.
Tester unit can either be: “U1731C” or equivalent. Clips must be large enough to grip the 28 mm terminal.
Procedure to test ERICO INTERCEPTOR Air Terminals SIXXi range:
A) Connect 2 wiring leads into the positive (+) and negative terminals (-) [B in Figure 1] of the tester unit.
B) Connect the clips to the air terminal as shown, making sure that:
1. The electrical contact is good between the clips and terminal (no grease or polluting material).
2. Both clips are connected on 2 distinct parts of the air terminal to test, one on the tip section of the air
terminal, the other on the housing (see photo below).
B) Switch ON the tester unit (“POWER” switch) [E in Figure 1]. The default frequency is 1 kHz, in the opposite case;
press the “Freq” [D in Figure 1] button until frequency is shown as 1 kHz.
C) Set the tester unit in the inductance measurement mode pressing “ZLCR” button [C in Figure 1]. Screen must
show an L. Read and note the L value on the Table 1. This value named X
(Henry) is the unit.
D) Set the tester unit in the capacitance measurement mode pressing “ZLCR” button [C in Figure 1]. Screen must
show a C. Read and note the C value on the Table 1. This value named X
(nano-Farad, 10
-9
Farad) is the unit.
E) Switch OFF the tester unit (“POWER” switch).

Table 1: Range for SIXXi testing
If both XL and XC are within the range shown in the Table 1, the air terminal tested functioning properly.
If either X
and XC are not within the range shown in the Table 1, proceed to the following:
L
- Make sure the air terminal tested is a genuine ERICO INTERCEPTOR of the SIXXi range,
any copy or previous model will not register the same characteristics.
- Make sure measurements are done at a temperature of 20°C (± 5°C). The measurements
proposed are influenced by the temperature.
- Make sure connections are clean, free of any grease or polluting material, and that no
visible damage to the terminal can be detected.
If the above procedures have been done and either X
and XC are not within the range shown in Table 1, it does not
L
definitively indicate that the air terminal has a dysfunction. There may be an issue from measurement. Contact your
ERICO representative for additional information.
