Drillco DS-69A Drill Stop Ground Fault Interupter
Powers up. Basic testing appears to confirm that the unit is functional.
Here's a bit from the Drillco website (follow the link below for more product info.):
* The DS-69A prevents accidental cutting of reinforcing bar and conduit by turning off the power to the drilling unit when grounded metal is encountered.
* The DS-69A provides operator safety. The job of detecting concealed rebar and conduit necessitates electrical isolation of the drilling unit from its conventional grounding connection. The DS-69A provides fast and reliable solid state switching to reestablish the ground connection in cases where and external, energized line is encountered or where the drill motor is shorted to the drill case.
* The DS-69A may be used in a concealed metal detect "Off" mode.
