SPY · NDT & Inspection Equipment
SPY Jeepmeters are high-voltage meters that verify the actual output of a holiday detector, in three models — the digital JM measuring pulse DC to 35 kV and DC to 7 kV, and the analogue pocket PJM (pulse DC, 1–20 kV) and DCPJM (DC, 1–5 kV).

Where it is used
Features
The output voltage of a holiday detector is influenced by weather conditions, moisture on the pipe, improper grounding and soil conditions. The dial setting is therefore not proof of what the instrument is actually delivering, and an inspection run at the wrong voltage either misses holidays or punctures sound coating. A Jeepmeter is how that gets checked.
The model JM provides the highest accuracy and versatility in the range, with a digital display of measured voltage. A precision numeric reading eliminates the interpretation error that an analogue needle introduces, which matters when the figure goes onto an inspection record.
For pulse DC detectors — used on shrink sleeves, tapes, coal tars and similar — the JM measures up to 35 kV. For DC detectors used on thin film epoxy coatings, the DC range measures up to 7 kV. One meter therefore covers a mixed fleet of detectors.
When used with pulse DC detectors the JM automatically senses the polarity of the pulse, so the operator does not have to identify it or risk a reversed connection giving a meaningless reading.
SPY states that leading-edge electronics in the JM solve the stability and repeatability problems sometimes experienced with older meters — the failure mode where two consecutive readings of the same output disagree.
The PJM (pulse DC only, 1–20 kV) and DCPJM (DC only, 1–5 kV) are analogue pocket instruments at 0.8 lb and 9.75″ × 3.25″ × 2.25″, running on a single 9 V battery. They suit a crew that needs a check available in a pocket rather than a case.
The meters have extendable feet, so the measurement geometry is repeatable between checks rather than depending on how the instrument happens to be propped.

Frequently asked
A high-voltage meter that measures the actual output of a holiday detector, also called a jeep. It exists because detector output is affected by weather, moisture on the pipe, grounding and soil conditions, so the dial setting alone does not prove what the instrument is delivering.
The JM if you need one instrument for a mixed fleet or a digital reading for records — it measures pulse DC to 35 kV and DC to 7 kV, and senses pulse polarity automatically. The PJM if you only run pulse DC detectors up to 20 kV, and the DCPJM if you only run DC detectors up to 5 kV. Both pocket models are analogue.
The precision measurement displayed eliminates interpretation errors. Reading a needle introduces operator judgement into a number that may end up on an inspection record, and two inspectors can read the same needle differently.
The JM can — pulse DC up to 35 kV and DC up to 7 kV. The PJM measures pulse DC only and the DCPJM DC only, so a site running both detector types needs either the JM or one of each pocket meter.
As often as the governing inspection procedure or ITP requires — that interval is set by the specification, not by the instrument. Because output varies with weather, moisture and grounding, checks are commonly made at the start of each run and after conditions change.
