Video takes on latest wiring regs
Robin has produced a video for electrical installers which covers the extra demands of the latest 16th Edition IEE Wiring Regulations BS7671:2001.
The rugged Robin SmartPAT 5000 portable appliance tester is designed to check the safety of Class I and Class II portable appliances.
It aids compliance with the legal requirements of the "Electricity at work regulations 1989" and the "Provision and use of work equipment regulations (PUWER) 1998".
Operations performed for 230 and 110V appliances include earth bond, 100mA business equipment test, insulation test, P-N continuity/fuse test, earth leakage, flash test as well as the testing of IEC leads.
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 by the user.
At any point in the test cycle, extensive onboard help procedures can be accessed.
Each test result is assigned a unique reference and stored in the PAT tester.
An optional barcode scanner can be used to directly enter the appliance number, site details and test sequences.
The results can be downloaded later to a PC running optional Robin PowerPAT Plus software or direct to an optional Robin SP 1000 printer, thus avoiding the possibility of on-site transcription errors.
The Windows based 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 the Health and Safety Executive tests.
The Robin SP 1000 printer gives each test result at the push of a button.
Test results can be issued immediately the work has been carried out.
The SP1000 is powered by a rechargeable battery and will fit neatly into the lid of the SmartPAT 5000.
Robin is offering free 14-day evaluations of the easy-to-use software, PowerPAT Plus.
