Wavetek Meterman SF10
Short Finder Brush,
Discontinued

• Fastest method of finding shorts and continuity on PCBs
• Brush probe quickly pinpoints area of shorts in printed circuit cards, multi-conductor cables, mass termination systems, backplanes, connectors, IC sockets and more
• Low-test voltage protects sensitive circuitry and eliminates false continuity indications
• Patented circuitry saves time with rapid testing for shorts

Finding shorts in complex printed circuit boards is a tedious and time-consuming process.  Designed for use in electronics manufacturing, the Short Finder Brush allows electronics manufacturing and service/repair personnel to quickly sweep over multiple test points to instantaneously find the approximate location of continuity.  The unique brush probe design saves time by eliminating the need to check each test point individually.

The Short Finder is used by holding the reference probe in contact with the point of test then sweeping the PCB with the brush until continuity is identified by an audible tone.  The exact point of continuity can be identified by using the ridged probe tip to conduct a point-to-point search within the area previously identified by the brush.
