Megger makes testing easier with Bluetooth

Story

Megger?s new MFT1553 On-site takes electrical testing to a new level. Instruments that transfer test results automatically to a laptop computer or other hardware running a test certificate generation program are nothing new ? but this new multifunction installation tester and certification software package from Megger takes this one step further.

Now, it is no longer necessary to have a cabled connection between the test instrument and the computer. With Megger’s MFT1553 package, all data is transferred via a wireless Bluetooth connection.

The benefits include faster testing, with no cumbersome connections to worry about, the elimination of data leads that are easily lost or damaged, plus the completion of certificates there and then on site on a lap-top, PDA or smart-phone, eliminating the need to note down readings.

The MFT1553 multifunction tester included in the package is the latest addition to Megger’s hugely successful MFT1500 range. The MFT1553 offers tests covering all the requirements of both the 16th and 17th Editions of the IEE Wiring Regulations, and is supplied, as standard, complete with a calibration certificate.

The PowerSuite software in the MFT1553 On-site package is among the most versatile of its type, and is available in versions for use on almost any hardware platform from a smart mobile phone to a full-blown PC. In addition to Windows, operating systems such as Symbian S60, and PalmOS V5 are fully supported.

The software includes over 25 certificates from the IEE, ECA, NICEIC and ELECSA, and also provides facilities for the generation user designed certificates.

Taken together, the components of the MFT1553 On-site package provide a comprehensive testing solution for contractors which offers safety, convenience and value for money, unmatched by any other product or combination of products currently available.
