Martindale HPAT500/2 PAT Tester
The Martindale HPAT500/2 is an entry-level, easy-to-use, small size PAT tester ideal for carrying out PAT testing in offices, commercial businesses, charity shops and other applications where you don't have a large number of appliances to test. Even if you're a complete beginner at PAT testing, Martindale's HPAT500/2 is easy to use. Testing is literally as simple as making the connections, pressing one of three buttons on the front of the tester and reading a pass/fail value on the large, high-contrast, backlit screen alongside full testing results. Handy diagrams advise how to make correct connections for each test, they are printed on the front of the tester for reference.
This PAT tester is made for use on all common appliances and can be used to test class 1 and class II appliances, IT equipment and IEC leads/extension leads. It performs earth bond testing, insulation resistance (selectable 250V/ 500V), tests of wiring live, neutral continuity and polarity and also tests fuses.
Despite its low cost the Martindale HPAT500/2 runs on fully rechargeable batteries and will not require mains power to operate, making it ideal or use in those areas where a power outlet isn't easily accessible! It is also supplied with a mains charger and, if necessary, can be used whilst plugged in for recharging thereby reducing downtime.
