The ERT1557 uses a current clamp test method to provide accurate earth electrode resistance measurement without disconnecting the electrode.
The software is a specially adapted PDA version of the comprehensive PATGuard Plus program.
It enables test results to be recorded in a PDA manually, directly via Bluetooth or downloaded from the tester for subsequent transfer to a PC-stored database.
The data can also be transmitted from test locations direct to databases held at head office locations by email.
PATGuard Workabout can be used with any portable appliance tester through direct input of test results.
The new software is also compatible with tester download and upload routines undertaken with the more advanced Seaward Supernova Plus, Europa Plus and PrimeTest 300 testers.
PATGuard Workabout also gives field engineers the facility to record other tests and inspections carried out on non-electrical items that might also be included in more general safety inspections and audits.
As a result, the new system gives remote field service engineers and electrical contractors complete independence, total flexibility and the opportunity to work smarter.
The new PATGuard Workabout is the latest innovation in a range of PATGuard branded software products designed to make the recording and management of electrical safety testing data fast, simple and efficient. Request a free brochure from Seaward Electronic ...
