PAT-4 System Key Features

• Integral ARM processors provide an adaptable, future-proofed platform to meet a wide range of statutory international test regimes

• Powers off any ac supply ranging from 85-250V, and all measuring elements are completely isolated from the ac supply

• Provides high-precision measurement (±2%) of resistance, current and voltages very fast so tests routines are quick.

• Standard interface is USB with optional Ethernet for multiple units in a thin client environment

• Available in Single-Phase and 3-Phase versions at current ratings of 16A or 32A

• Add-ons include Cable and RCD modules – PAT, Cable and RCD testing can be accommodated on the same workstation.

• Built-in IEC cable tester checks continuity, phase polarity and core insulation.

PAT-Data 4.0 Software

PAT-Data carries full details of equipment preparation and test parameters, allowing highly efficient PAT and cable test on the fly during prep or offline as part of a quarantine workflow procedure. Complex layered tests can be user-defined for special items such as IWB’s and stage boxes, and sub-hired equipment can be temporarily tested and logged as Guest items.
Test results are updated in real-time at an individual asset level for each item, and detailed user-branded PAT Test manifests can be generated instantly to go out with the job. Non-electrical items can also be covered by their own preparation procedures and reports, including LOLER data forms for inspection of lifting devices.

PAT-4 and PAT-Data communicate via USB or Ethernet, and the system readily networks into multi-seat, multi-site configurations including thin-client implementations. The data and operations can be seamlessly integrated into third-party rental software, and Data Strategy has a wealth of experience working with most contemporary products as well as a number of proprietary environments.

PAT-Data 4.0 Software Key Features

• Network software utilising an SQL server backend to facilitate multiple live PAT and Cable test workstations

• Records full history of test measurements and PASS/FAIL status. User-configurable report writer with can output to printer, email or PDF.

• Multi-layered user log-ins allow tailoring of test instructions to different skill levels

• Proven integration track record with various rental management software including proprietary systems



Compliance Standards

The PAT-Mk4, CAB-5 and RCD-T testers comply with the following standards and recommendations:

• BS EN 62638 (Draft) - Recurrent test and test after repair and modification of electrical equipment. This is the forthcoming BSI standard for PAT testing.

• DIN VDE 0701-0702: 2008 – testing the electrical safety of electrical devices after repair modification and for periodic testing. The current German standard for PAT testing.

• AS/NZ 3760:2010 (Draft) – In-service safety inspection and testing of electrical equipment. Australian/New Zealand standard for PAT testing.

• HSE publication ‘Maintaining portable and transportable electrical equipment’

• IEE publication ‘Code of Practice for In-service Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment, 3rd Edition’.

• BS EN 61557-6 - RCD-T test module option is capable of applying the full range of test current to an in-service accuracy.

• Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER) - PATData 4.0 is available with an optional data form for recording the result of a LOLER inspection as completed by an appropriately qualified person.
