Seaward Apollo 500+ PAT Tester Pro Bundle Kit

The Seaward Apollo 500+ PAT Tester Pro Bundle Kit includes the Seaward Apollo 500+ PAT Tester and Seaward Test ‘n’ Tag Pro Bundle. Please see the descriptions below for further information. 

Seaward Apollo 500+ PAT Tester Description

The Seaward Apollo 500+ PAT Tester has been optimised for performing extensive PAT checks on high-volumes of portable appliances. As such it includes a large memory, with the capacity to hold up to 10 000 records, and an extensive selection of electrical tests, these include:

• Low current earth continuity test with Zap circuit, guaranteeing accurate measurements
• Insulation resistance test
• IEC lead test
• Protective conductor current test
• Touch current test
• Load power/ current test
• Alternative leakage current test
• RCD test
• Power socket test
• Class 2 FE (5th edition update) 

This instrument is also capable of performing point-to-point fixed appliance testing for earth continuity and insulation resistance. These electrical tests can be organised into up to one-hundred user-customised visual and electrical test sequences. This extensive selection of tests makes the Seaward Apollo 500+ PAT Tester suitable for checking appliances in accordance with the IET 5^th Edition Code of Practice.

In addition to this, it is possible for the user to determine a suggested retest period using the Apollo 500+’s integrated electrical risk assessment tool with a retest calculator.

Furthermore, the Seaward Apollo 500+ PAT Tester is a more sophisticated version of the Seaward Apollo 500 PAT Tester and to this end includes a number of improvements made to its software compatibility, hardware and firmware.

Software Compatibility

The Seaward Apollo 500+ PAT Tester is compatible with Seaward’s PATGuard 3.4 Software with Time Manager (NOT included). This software can be used to arrange data collected by the Seaward Apollo 500+ PAT Tester into reports, as well as create invoices. In addition to this, the Time Manager feature on this program is optimised for aiding the user with organising teams of workers.

As well as downloading data to the user’s PC, the Seaward Apollo 500+ PAT Tester’s Bluetooth communication allows the operator to send information to his/ her compatible tablet or smartphone. Additionally, the Seaward Apollo 500+ PAT Tester is compatible with selected printers and scanners allowing the user to send information directly to print and/or access information contained within barcode labels (see the description for the Seaward Test ‘n’ Tag Pro Bundle).

Firmware Features

In addition to its software compatibility updates, the Seaward Apollo 500+ PAT Tester also includes a number of improvements made to its firmware. These new features have been added in order to improve the Seaward Apollo 500+ PAT Tester’s versatility and adaptability. They include:

• New user permissions for Bluetooth
• A delete option for unwanted results
• The ‘View Data Menu’ has been re-designed to facilitate faster scrolling
• Advanced search function- results can be filtered using specifications such as the PASS/ FAIL status of each test
• An option to print test results has been included in the ‘After Test’ function
• Leakage test settings include ‘Worst’ and ‘Last’ result options
• The user can download information directly onto his/her Android device using the USB on-the-go technology
• Downloaded files can be named using unique identifiers
• Measure main voltage and outlet wiring polarity using the socket-outlet test
• Each test page displays the asset’s ID
• Review Step allows the user to check test details before adding any final comments
• 2020 5th Edition update includes a brand-new set of test sequences including Class 2 FE and other new tests as per the 5th Edition

The new 5th Edition firmware will also be available to download free of charge for current Apollo users who will be able to update to the new firmware and benefit from the new test features.

Note: in existing Apollos touch current tests will be limited by the hardware to 3.5mA.

Hardware Features

Despite the Seaward Apollo 500+ PAT Tester having been altered and updated to facilitate greater versatility and adaptability, its design still includes physical features, such as a QWERTY keyboard and high-definition, colour display, that proved practical and convenient on the Apollo 500.

In addition to these features, the Seaward Apollo 500+ PAT Tester includes an interchangeable, rechargeable battery pack. This works to reduce downtime, especially as the Seaward Apollo 500+ PAT Tester can also be powered using a mains supply.

Finally, the Seaward Apollo 500+ PAT Tester is supplied with a wiring harness, test leads with strong PVC insulation and resilient test probes. All these accessories help to make the Seaward Apollo 500+ PAT Tester better suited to demanding applications, again, expanding the Seaward Apollo 500+ PAT Tester’s scope-for-use.

The Seaward Apollo 500+ PAT Tester is a sophisticated instrument capable of performing extensive PAT checks on a wide variety of portable appliances.

The 2020 5th edition hardware update also allows for the increase in protective and touch leakage limits to 5mA rather than 3.5m.A.
