Seaward’s latest portable appliance testers establish a new approach to electrical safety testing.
New features of the Apollo 600 extend the capability of the previous Seaward PrimeTest 350 PAT tester, while the new Apollo 500 succeeds the popular Seaward Europa.
Both testers, alongside the latest PATGuard 3 test data management software, comply with best practice advice on maintaining a risk based approach to workplace safety.
Apollo 600 has an on board digital camera to capture images for inclusion in risk and inspection records; used with PATGuard 3 software it provides unrivalled results management including photographs for visual evidence.
Apollo 500 has the same range of PAT tests as the Apollo 600, but does not include a camera, and is designed for dedicated plug and play electrical testing. Both testers incorporate all of the safety tests recommended by the latest IET Code of Practice, including for permanently connected and 3 phase electrical equipment.
Apollo testers include all electrical safety tests required by the IET Code of Practice including earth continuity, insulation resistance at 250V/500V, protective conductor current, touch current, IEC lead polarity and portable RCD trip time, without the risk of tripping the installation RCD.
Apollo can also test permanently connected and 3 phase electrical equipment and are battery or mains powered.
