Making electrical appliance testing easy

New software by Seaward Electronic features boost workplace safety testing.
Seaward Electronic has upgraded its new mobile PDA-based software that enables users to record the results of workplace electrical appliance safety tests and other tests and inspections quickly and easily.
The PATGuard Work About software is a specially adapted PDA version of the comprehensive PATGuard Elite program.
It enables test results to be recorded directly into a PDA manually or downloaded from the tester via Bluetooth for subsequent transfer to a PATGuard database on a PC.
A number of new timesaving operator features have now been incorporated in the latest version of the software.
For example, the upgraded software now has the ability to enable users to selectively identify and select - or tag - specific electrical equipment to be tested and upload the appropriate test parameters to the tester from the PDA.
This is particularly useful during the regular re-testing of equipment in large workplaces and enables the test engineer to cope effectively with the movement of appliances between different locations at a particular site - or even between different sites.
For those involved in the recording of all types of workplace safety equipment, the new PATGuard Work About can also create a dedicated test or inspection routine for a range of equipment that require the same test or inspection - such as fire extinguishers or smoke alarm systems.
Other new features include enhanced search and find tools enabling users to search the asset database for a particular item of equipment using its ID number.
A new software registration method also makes it quicker and easier to register the PATGuard Work About program on one or more PDAs giving greater flexibility and the ability to easily extend its use.
PATGuard Work About is designed to give PAT engineers, electrical contractors and field service teams easy access to asset and test records when working away from base.
PATGuard Work About can be used with any portable appliance tester through direct input of test results.
The software is also compatible with tester download and upload routines undertaken with the more advanced Seaward Supernova Plus, Europa Plus and PrimeTest 300 testers.
