The Seaward Apollo 500+ 5th Edition PAT Tester is an updated version of Seaward’s Apollo 500+ PAT Tester and is compliant with the new code of practice, this includes Class 2 FE, protective and touch leakage limits to 5mA (as the new code of practice now requires testers to have a pass-fail limit of 5mA for all leakage tests) as well as other new tests as per the 5th Edition.The Seaward Apollo 500+ is fully compliant with the release of the 5th Edition Code of Practice.
Seawards Apollo 500+ features the ability to use QR codes (Using Seaward’s Test n Tag Elite 2 printer you can now print labels that include our unique QR data code) and is compatible with Seawards new QR Barcode scanner, meaning you can scan in a previous test and easily and quickly amend data fields. Also new is the QR DATA Viewer app (available for both Android and iOS devices) the app allows users to scan the labels and view the test information and share the data via email.
The Apollo 500+ has the ability to exchange the external rechargeable battery pack, meaning less downtime whilst you’re PAT Testing on a larger scale, simply change the battery over and carry on testing! The 500+ also has the option to run via mains power. The 2020 5th edition hardware update also allows for the increase in protective and touch leakage limits to 5mA rather than 3.5m.A.
