Seaward Electronic ., market-leading manufacturer of portable appliance testers, has upgraded and enhanced the range of test functions performed by its Supernova dual voltage tester.
Seaward Electronic, a market-leading manufacturer of portable appliance testers, is upgrading and enhancing the range of test functions performed by its Supernova dual voltage tester.
The new Supernova Plus incorporates a number of innovative features to make electrical safety testing faster and more convenient for the operator.
These include the ability to perform in-line testing for earth bond and touch leakage while the equipment remains powered up - thereby greatly reducing test times.
To enable test operators to determine progressive deterioration or potential faults in the equipment under test, the Supernova Plus incorporates specially developed software that compares successive test results taken on the same item of electrical equipment.
Another improvement is the inclusion of two serial ports for the concurrent use of a bar code scanner and a printer.
This facility also enables the automatic print out of results immediately after a test has been completed.
Other special features include an earth cable length calculator to set earth bond limits, and the automatic increment of appliance IDs, to further speed up the test process.
The Supernova Plus retains the ergonomic design, integral QWERTY keyboard and main test features of the original instrument.
These include a flash test capability, accurate earth bond and leakage measurements when multiple earth paths exist, multiple 250V/500V insulation testing and an internal storage capacity of up to 5000 memory locations.
The new Supernova test unit comes with free downloader software in order to ensure the testing and information gathering process is as convenient as possible.
