The bridge has been designed specically
for the model 2008 tester and directs
reaction loads away from the xing (g 1).

The lightweight aluminium load spreading

bridge ts in the carry case disassembled

(g 2). The bridge is simple to assemble

and adjust. Three fully adjustable telescopic
legs offer 11 height positions 25mm apart

(g 3). The legs are held in place with
steel ball pins.

The swivel feet offer 30mm of ne

adjustment.

The triangular shape bridge plate is

deliberately offset to offer two different

close to edge testing distances in

relationship to the xing under test.

The tester can be secured to the bridge
plate in two positions with the supplied
cap screws (g 4). Securing the tester
to the plate is not crucial when the tester
is being operated in a horizontal position
however is essential when the tester is in
a vertical position or inverted.
