A new multi-function tester checks the electrical safety of workplace electrical tools, appliances and equipment, plus the condition of the electrical circuit to which they are connected.
A new multi-function tester not only checks the electrical safety of workplace electrical tools, appliances and equipment, but also checks the condition of the electrical circuit to which they are connected.
The new PrimeTest 200 handheld unit from Seaward Electronic incorporates safety-testing capabilities for industrial electrical safety testing along with installation and digital multimeter test functions.
The instrument has a comprehensive range of tests to check the electrical safety of the appliance and its power socket as well as diagnostic tests for service and repair.
The special tester has been designed for the fast and effective in-service testing of electrical equipment carried out by maintenance staff, safety engineers and electrical contractors.
The unit is battery-powered, requiring mains power only for tests which must be performed at mains voltage.
For electrical safety, tests are selected for either Class I or Class II equipment and all appropriate tests are carried out automatically.
In addition, an IEC power cord test is also incorporated, which automatically sequences through all required tests.
Protective earth current leakage and touch current tests can also be carried out when the PrimeTest 200 is connected to a mains power supply.
A suite of complementary electrical installation tests can be undertaken with the same unit to verify building wiring conditions.
These include an earth loop impedance check, RCD test and socket polarity test to provide an indication of the status of the electrical circuit to which an appliance or equipment might be connected.
In addition, the PrimeTest 200 enables conventional digital multimeter voltage and continuity measurements to be made.
A temperature measurement facility is also provided for use with an optional accessory temperature module.
The new instrument features a large easy-to-use rotary switch for test selection and simple pushbutton control for test initiation.
A large backlit analogue and digital display gives a clear reading of test results, allowing the user to make informed decisions about the safety of an appliance or electrical circuit.
Other special features include integral rubber bumpers for rugged use, a test button 'lock' for continuous measurement, an automatic switch off when not in use and a battery life indicator.
The new PrimeTest 200 is supplied complete with lead set, IEC lead, instruction manual and carry case with shoulder strap.
