Gold Testing & XRF Analyzers · Gold Testing
Portable Gold Testing Machine
Gold verification away from the bench - with one power requirement you need to know before you buy.
Specifications
Portable Gold Tester technical parameters
One requirement we will not let you discover after delivery: our catalogue states that the portable gold testing machine requires a UPS and an isolation transformer as compulsory, not optional. Budget for both. The catalogue does not publish a full parameter table for this unit; request the current datasheet before ordering.
Who this machine is for
Buyers, retail counters and field verification where the sample cannot come to a benchtop analyzer - provided clean, conditioned power can be arranged.

Answers
Portable Gold Tester questions
Why does a portable tester need a UPS and isolation transformer?
Because an X-ray tube and detector are unforgiving about dirty or interrupted power, and portable use tends to mean exactly that. Our catalogue states both as compulsory rather than recommended. Treat them as part of the machine’s price, not accessories to add later - that is the honest way to compare a portable unit against a benchtop one.
Is a portable tester as accurate as a benchtop Signet?
We will not put a number on that here, because the catalogue does not publish an accuracy figure for the portable unit while it does publish +/-0.03% for both benchtop Signets. If accuracy is the deciding factor for you, that asymmetry is itself the answer: ask us for the portable datasheet in writing before you commit.
Does the Portable Gold Tester come with installation and training?
Yes. We commission the machine on your floor and train your operators on your own material and your own designs rather than a demonstration sample. Semsons Tech has served the diamond and jewellery industry since 1978, and on our setting machines the control system is self-developed, so support does not depend on a third party abroad.
What is the delivery time, and how are spare parts handled?
We do not publish delivery times, spare-parts pricing or AMC terms, because all three depend on configuration, destination and what is on the floor at the time. They are confirmed in writing on your quotation rather than estimated here. Ask for them explicitly when you enquire and you will get them in writing.
What does the Portable Gold Tester cost?
We quote per configuration and destination rather than publishing a list price, because voltage, tooling, spares package and shipping all change the figure. Send us your requirement through the form on this page and you will receive a written quotation.
