The Seaward Apollo 500+ PAT Tester Elite Bundle Kit includes the following products:
For further information regarding these products, please see the descriptions below.
The Seaward Apollo 500+ PAT Tester is designed for checking high-volumes of portable appliances in accordance with the IET 5th Edition Code of Practice. To this end it is capable of performing point-to-point fixed appliance testing for earth continuity and insulation resistance, as well as the following tests:
These tests can be arranged into up to 100 customised visual and electrical test sequences. The Seaward Apollo 500+ PAT Tester also includes an extensive 10000-record memory for storing tests results and an integrated electrical risk assessment tool with a retest calculator for determining a suggested retest period for each appliance.
Further to this, the Seaward Apollo 500+ PAT Tester can be used with the items included in the Seaward Test ‘n’ Tag Elite Bundle Kit and/or with the Seaward FREE QR Data Viewer App to read, create and view 2D QR codes. As these codes contain information regarding the retest period, the type of test and the previous results, this feature is particularly useful for managing appliances as well as improving the efficiency of re-testing.
The Seaward Apollo 500+ PAT Tester is a comprehensive, practical and adaptable PAT tester. It is an updated version of the Apollo 500 PAT Tester and as such includes improvements to its firmware, hardware and software compatibility. For further information, please see the below.
The Seaward Apollo 500+ PAT Tester is compatible with the below printer and scanner allowing it to scan and print 2D QR codes, as previously mentioned. Its Bluetooth compatibility also allows the Seaward Apollo 500+ PAT Tester to send information to compatible smartphones and tablets.
The Seaward Apollo 500+ PAT Tester is also compatible with Seaward’s PAT Guard 3.4 Software with Time Manager (NOT included). Using this software the operator can review test results as well as organise the data into reports. This software may also be used to manage teams of workers.
Hardware Features
Like its predecessor the Apollo 500, the Seaward Apollo 500+ PAT Tester includes a QWERTY keyboard and a colour, high-definition display which may be used to view test results.
However, this model also includes a rechargeable, interchangeable battery pack, test leads with stronger PVC insulation and robust probes. These features improve the practicality of the Seaward Apollo 500+ PAT Tester. As this instrument can be powered using the battery pack or using a mains power supply, downtime is kept to a minimum, whilst the inclusion of resilient accessories makes the Seaward Apollo 500+ PAT Tester better suited for harsh environments and more demanding applications.
Firmware Features
The Seaward Apollo 500+ PAT Tester has been optimised for adaptability, versatility and reliability. It is ideal for comprehensively testing high-volumes of portable appliances.
The Seaward Test ‘n’ Tag Elite Bundle Kit includes a number of products that facilitate the Seaward Apollo 500+ PAT Tester’s ability to read, create and print 2D QR codes:
The Seaward Test ‘n’ Tag Elite Bundle Kit is ideal for improving the efficiency with which inspections may be carried out when using the Seaward Apollo 500+ PAT Tester.
