The new PATGuard Elements program has been designed for use with manual PAT testers that do not incorporate an internal memory for the storage of test results. It enables test results taken with manual PAT testers to be incorporated into a formal PC-
The compact SureTest installation tester from IDEAL INDUSTRIES NETWORKS DIVISION incorporates a selection of new, lighter components and materials, and requires only four batteries. This means that it weighs just 675g - around 50% lighter than most competing testers on the market.
SureTest complies with BS7671: 2008 (17th Edition) IEE Wiring Regulations and is EN61557 compliant. The device can quickly take accurate loop impedance measurements that will not trip RCDs. The device is able to measure frequency and phase rotation in three-phase installations and includes a calibration certificate.
An Auto-RCD feature helps save time on the job, eliminating the need for an electrician to go back and forth to the distribution board. The device also calculates and displays both Prospective Short Circuit Current (PSCC) and Prospective Earth Fault Current (PEFC), providing fast, error-free reporting.
A separate Ramp Test enables the user to quickly identify RCDs prone to nuisance tripping. The tester ramps up the applied current until the RCD trips and then displays the reading on screen. When testing continuity, a smart 'null' feature zeros out any test lead resistance, reducing measurement errors.
Insulation test voltages of 250, 500 and 1,000V are provided, as well as a remote test probe that helps electricians perform tests in awkward, hard-to-reach locations.
