Seaward has extended and upgraded the combined electrical test and certification concept introduced by its Powerplus 1557 multi-function electrical installation tester.
The features include enhanced test-data management and certification capabilities to improve the operational efficiencies of local authorities, utilities, contractors and test engineers involved in large-scale 17th edition electrical installation and periodic test routines of premises with identical circuit configurations.
Powerplus 1557 incorporates an electronic version of the certificate within the tester
The Powerplus 1557 is the first electrical tester to incorporate an electronic version of the certificate within the tester, eliminating the need for dummy certificates and manual or PDA recording of test results.
Test data is automatically entered into the correct certificate fields as testing is undertaken and can be validated on site, without the need for repeat visits.
Look-up tables are also incorporated within the tester.
When inspection and testing is complete, the certificate held inside the Powerplus 1557 can be transferred to PC software for output and/or supply to customers.
Technology built into the tester includes the ability to download and merge data from multiple testers used by different engineers on large premises into a single certificate.
Users can also generate replica certificates from a master template for contractors testing lots of identical properties.
Once an original installation certificate has been generated, 'cloned' or duplicated copies can be produced for subsequent periodic installation testing or for minor works certificates after circuit adaptations have been made.
The software program includes all required 17th edition certification and can print onto ECA, NAPIT and NICEIC stationery.
Once transferred to a PC, in addition to printing certificates, test data can be stored for records traceability and when re-testing is required, the data can be transferred back to the tester.
