The Robin PAT Pack 5000 is a portable appliance test starter pack built around a SmartPAT 5000 portable appliance tester.
This PAT tester is purpose built to handle and store hundreds of appliance test results.
By entering one of the preprogrammed test codes, the SmartPAT 5000 will guide the user through the test sequence relevant to the particular appliance.
If required, new test sequences can be programmed in by the user.
At any point in the test cycle, extensive on-board help procedures can be accessed.
Each test result is assigned a unique reference and stored in the PAT Tester.
The results can be downloaded later to a PC running the PowerPAT Plus software included in the kit.
This software manages all test records and enables comprehensive reporting and comparisons with previous readings for each individual site.
It stores descriptive details of each appliance, where it is located, its unique identifier, and the results of prescribed Health and Safety Executive tests downloaded from the 5000.
Also included in the Robin kit is a training video, providing simple to follow guidance to electricians new to PAT testing, and a set of snap tags and sticky labels to mark each machine with its test result.
Every part of the kit can be purchased separately, but a money saving is made if they are all purchased together before the end of 2002.
