The ET6500 Multifunction Tester performs essential measurements for verifying the electrical safety of installations, in line with the 18th Edition Wiring Regulations. It has high-current and non-trip loop testing, input protection, and a CAT IV safety rating.
The tester also provides voltage measurement, phase sequence indication, and a backlit colour display with easy navigation through its integrated ‘Help’ menus. Its onboard memory supports efficient documentation, allowing users to store and export installation test results directly into Excel.
The ET6500 includes the Martindale TL305EV adapter. It also supports 3-wire and 4-wire earth testing, compatible with optional kits: the ER2KIT-S 3-Wire Earth Spike Kit and the ER4KIT-S 4-Wire Kit. The ET6500 is supplied in a durable soft carrying bag that accommodates the instrument and all accessories, making it easy to transport between locations.
