Megger PAT testers know their limits!

Story

To ensure fast, convenient operation – whether testing new or existing equipment – the latest PAT4 Mk3 portable appliance testers from Megger are pre-programmed with test limits that cover all of the requirements of IET Code of Practice for In-Service Inspection and Test of Electrical Equipment.

All testers in the PAT4 range have been designed to minimise the time required to perform tests and access the results. The testers are ready for use within just five seconds of being switched on – less than one-sixth of the time needed by some other testers. In addition, a large QWERTY keyboard makes operation and data entry simple and fast.

Plain English group test codes make PAT4 testers easy to work with. Users have the choice of adding their own groups and making their own decisions about pass/fail limits on a test-by-test basis, or of using the pre-stored limits that will automatically be applied by the instrument. Users can also set the test duration.

Test results, grouped by client, location, room, etc., are automatically stored in an on-board database, which can be searched by asset ID, retest due date, group test code, or the location within a client site.

To complement its PAT4 testers, Megger offers a low-cost barcode label printer. This time and cost saving accessory automatically generates barcode labels using data supplied by the instrument, eliminating the time-consuming and error-prone process of transferring data by hand to write-on labels.

Storage space in the case supplied for the instrument ensures that essential accessories – such as test leads, scanner or printer – can be kept with the instrument and protected by the tough ABS case.
