New features for testers

Both new testers, alongside the latest PATGuard 3 test data management software, are designed to comply with the latest best practice advice on maintaining a risk-based approach to maintaining workplace safety.

The Apollo 600 is a multi-purpose PAT with an on board digital camera to capture images for inclusion in risk and inspection records; when used with PATGuard 3 software it is said to provide unrivalled results management including photographs for visual evidence.

The Apollo 500 has the same range of PAT tests, but does not include a camera, and is designed for dedicated plug-and-play electrical testing.

The Apollo series testers include all of the electrical safety tests required by the IET Code of Practice including, earth continuity, insulation resistance at 250V or 500V, protective conductor current, touch current, IEC lead polarity and portable RCD trip time, without the risk of tripping the installation RCD. 

In addition to testing plug in appliances, the Apollo is fully equipped to test permanently connected and 3 phase electrical equipment as required by the new Code of Practice. 

The new Apollo testers can be used with battery or mains power and include a built-in risk assessment tool and suggested re-test interval calculator and for easy results storage, Bluetooth and USB connections are included as well as the ability to transfer data remotely using a mobile phone or tablet. 

A range of compatible accessory bundles including printers, labels, barcode scanners and PATGuard 3 software are also available.
