The latest addition to the Seaward Primetest range of safety testing instruments for electronic and electrical appliances is a hand held portable appliance checker. The new Primetest 50 is an easy to use basic electrical safety checker that provides an immediate 'pass/fail' indication at the push of a button for electrical appliances and equipment. The lightweight instrument is battery powered for maximum portability and incorporates clear, easy to follow operating instructions.

As well as essential earth continuity and insulation resistance tests, the checker incorporates an IEC lead test and a power socket test.

This introductory level instrument is designed for use for those with little or no electrical testing experience including maintenance staff in commercial premises, schools, colleges, care homes and the leisure industry.

The Primetest 50 is also available as part of an optional PATSolutions package that links the instrument with appropriate test accessories and test data recording software in keeping with the specific requirements of individual users.

For example, the Primetest 50 can be used with the new PDA-based PATGuard Workabout software for mobile data input that allows test results on different electrical appliances to be recorded immediately for subsequent print out or storage.

The Primetest range from Seaward incorporates a range of electrical safety testing instruments, each with different technical capabilities and test functions for use by all involved in ensuring the safety of electrical equipment used in the workplace.
