About the Karg GDP.2 (Mk II) Glow Wire Tester
The GDP.2 (Mk II) from Karg, Germany, is a glow wire tester that detects the glow wire temperature without contact, by infrared (IR). A compact two-wire infrared thermometer gives high temperature resolution.
After the start button is pressed the test sequence runs automatically, and the sled moves through a motorized linear drive at a defined speed. The tester follows DIN EN IEC 60695-2-10 (VDE 0471-2-10):2023-10 / COR1:2024-07 and IEC 60695-2-10:2021/COR1:2024.
