Robin will be displaying its latest 16th Edition testing equipment, PAT testers, continuity testers, environmental monitors and multimeters at Electrex.
The new Robin SM100 SocketMaster is a lightweight, rugged tool designed for professional contractors to rapidly check correct wiring of an installed mains socket.
Three vivid bicolour LEDs indicate the status of the wiring into the socket.
A simple to use chart supplied with the unit clearly indicates faulty wiring.
The SM100 checks for missing earth, live/earth reverse, live/neutral reverse, earth/neutral swap, missing neutral or live faults.
The SM100 is the bottom of the range model of Robin's recently introduced SocketMaster Series.
The top-of-the-range SM300 is the only socket tester on the market to also test 30mA RCDs.
Two soft-touch buttons on the SM300 provide the RCD test and a test for raised earth voltages.
This model, and the mid-range SM200, also offer an extra audible warning in the event of faults being detected.
