Seaward Electronic product story

Seaward has added a label printer to its Powerplus 1557 electrical installation tester, to allow on-the-spot cable tagging and distribution-board marking.
The Powerplus 1557 is an integrated 17th edition inspection and certification tester.
Seaward has extended the capabilities of its new Powerplus 1557 electrical installation tester with the introduction of a complementary label printer for on the spot cable tagging and distribution board marking.
It incorporates electronic versions of mains-test certificates so that test data is automatically entered into the correct certificate fields as testing is undertaken.
The PowerSolutions concept has been extended with the availability of a new battery-powered Test n Tag thermal transfer printer for cable tags and labels, giving contractors the ability to clearly label electrical wiring in line with circuit drawings and system schematics.
Bluetooth connection to the Powerplus 1557 enables the printer to produce durable tags and labels at the press of a button, allowing immediate identification of all cables and wiring systems.
The Test n Tag printer comes with a range of cartridge options.
Self-laminating wire markers can be produced for standard periodic inspection requirements, as well as laminated labels for use on consumer units, distribution boards and electrical circuits.
For new wiring installations, the Test n Tag system can print heat-shrink sleeves for individual wire and cable marking.
The printed sleeving can be produced in a range of colours with all appropriate inspection, maintenance and identification information.
The Powerplus 1557 labelling system ensures the correct marking of electric cables while testing is being carried out, saving time and money and eliminating the use of hand-written labels.
The lightweight Powerplus 1557 multifunction tester provides maximum productivity and improves efficiency, compared with paper or PDA-based systems.
Onboard electronic certificate software enables test data to be recorded directly by the tester using a replica of the inspection and test certificate.
Data can be validated in the field to check for errors or omissions, avoiding the need for costly repeat-site visits.
The instrument's integral certificate assistant software also holds many of the commonly used tabulated values and look-up tables, avoiding the need to take bulky reference material onsite.
When inspection and testing is complete, the certificate held inside the Powerplus 1557 tester can be transferred to the accompanying Powerplus PC software to produce PDF or printed certificates for customers in line with the 17th edition wiring regulations.
