PAT300 SERIES

Portable Appliance Testers

DESCRIPTION

An easily portable desktop appliance tester for testing the
safety of portable electrical equipment to meet health and
safety regulations. The PAT300 series are fully featured
testers with dedicated test buttons for direct access to tests.
They are designed for customers who do not require the
complexity of a fully configurable database of clients and
results within the tester but do need a complete range of
functions to allow automatic or manual testing of the
widest range of electrical assets. There are two products in
the range – the PAT320 and the PAT350. The PAT350 is
identical to the PAT320, with the addition of flash-test
capability for use in environments such as manufacturing,
production or tool-hire shops.

Simple push-button operation make the PAT300s fast and
intuitive in use. All regulatory test requirements are supported,
including Class I and Class II, IEC power leads, extension
leads and full tests for portable RCDs. An automatic mode is
available for Class I and Class II testing. In automatic mode,
the tests proceed sequentially through bond, insulation
and operation, indicating a pass or fail at each test. If a fail
occurs, testing is stopped. When manual testing, each test
is preceded by a selection screen where the test parameters
are selected, such as bond test current, insulation test volt­age or leakage test type. These diagnostic buttons provide
direct access to any test individually, allowing single tests to
be performed following repair or a suspect result.

APPLICATIONS

There is a legal requirement for any landlord, employer or
owner of a place of work or public place, to ensure that all
electrical equipment accessible by tenants, employees or the
public is maintained in a safe condition, and an acceptable
method of ensuring this is by routine electrical testing. This
can be performed by electrical contractors, specialist PAT
testing organisations, maintenance departments, or facilities
management companies.

The PAT300 range is suitable for performing portable
appliance testing in locations such as hotels, public houses,
schools, colleges, nurseries, shops, offices, theatres, banks,
restaurants, cafés, sports and leisure facilities, cinemas,
factories and hair salons etc. The PAT350 is suitable for use
in tool-hire shops where equipment is routinely tested prior
to hire, and will perform a flash test in addition to standard
PAT tests.

Accessories supplied with all models include a combined
earth-bond and insulation test lead, an adaptor for testing
extension leads, and a carry-case convenient product and
lead storage.
