Product Details
The Martindale HPAT600 PAT tester takes the basic template of the HPAT500 and adds more functionality to the mix. Like its little brother it does one touch testing but now has two modes, easy (manual) and fast (automatic). Manual mode is ideal for newcomers to PAT testing, in this mode the tester takes you through each test and displays connection diagrams and asks for the user to confirm each step. In automatic mode one button press runs through the selected test sequence with no further input required unless a failure happens. The HPAT600 also has the ability to store test data for up to 200 appliances which can be easily reviewed on the instrument if you need to check a result on site*.
One of the best features of this portable appliance tester is the selectable dual voltage for the insulation test. Like all PAT testers it has a 500V test but it also has a 250V test that is easily selectable by the user. This is very useful as more and more products are being fitted with mains filters, designed to stop mains spikes, and they will fail the 500V insulation test because of this. Some extension leads with these filters are now labelled to indicate they will fail a normal PAT test but with the HPAT600 you just change the range to 250V and carry out the test as normal.
Users can also set their own pass thresholds for all tests, which is great for testing appliances that have very long leads or long extension leads. The HPAT600 is also supplied with a mains charger as well as an in-car charger.
Each HPAT600 is supplied with earth bond probe and croc clip, rechargeable NiMH batteries, extension lead adaptor, mains battery charger, in car battery charger, soft carry case, instruction manual and calibration certificate.
*Although the HPAT600 has a memory, it doesn't download.
