Martindale Testers Provide A Smart Solution To New 17th Edition Changes

Martindale Electric is pleased to announce the launch of its new ET Series of Multifunctional Electrical Installation Testers, which have been designed to meet the requirements contained within the latest Amendment 3 changes to the 17th Edition Wiring Regulations effective from January 2015.

Designed to verify the safety of electrical installations in domestic, commercial and industrial installations, the new range of ET4000 and ET4500 testers simplify 17th Edition testing by featuring the latest third amendment fuse tables, built-in together with red and green LED indicators, for instant pass/fail confirmation of all main test functions.

On connection the new ET Series of Multifunctional Electrical Installation Testers also carry out an automatic polarity and wiring check, identifying potentially dangerous wiring faults in advance of any testing.

The new multifunctional testers from Martindale Electric feature auto RCD functions which can cycle through all the required tests and clearly display all 4 sets of results in one go and on one screen, reducing errors and speeding up the job. This is particularly useful with the increasing use of RCDs following the changes in amendment 3.

Innovators in test equipment and boasting many ‘firsts’, such as the first ever ring main socket tester, the new range of multifunctional testers once again puts Martindale Electric at the top of its game with the only multifunctional testers on the market to have the new loop impedance limits built in and many new time saving features making testing to amendment 3 straightforward. In addition all key measurement functions include useful Help menus available at the press of a button.

The new series of testers feature a high level of input protection and a CAT IV safety rating, ensuring a high level of safety and reliability.

Two of the very few testers on the market which use True RMS (TRMS) voltage measurement, the ET4000 and ET4500 ensure that the supply voltage can always be measured accurately and is within the Cmim limits defined in amendment 3. Both models also include phase sequence indication.

The ET4500 tester can also be used to carry out 3 wire earth testing and has onboard memory to store and download all installation test results for documentation, making it future proof for all potential applications.

The ET4500 is supplied with low loss AA rechargeable batteries which can be easily recharged on site with a mains adapter or optional in car charger.

Both the ET4000 and ET4500 multifunctional testers come complete in a soft ‘Test and Go’ carry case, allowing leads to be connected and testing to be carried out without having to remove the tester from the case saving time and trouble unpacking and repacking on-site.

Both models are supplied with a full range of accessories, including Martindale test leads with clips and prods, all terminated with industry standard 4mm plugs. The slim line Martindale remote start probe with test button is included as standard, allowing one handed measurement, in those areas that are hard to reach.

Designed to save time and get up to speed with changes to the 17th Edition Wiring Regulations, the new multifunctional testers form part of a complete range, for electrical, installation testing and safe isolation available from Martindale Electric.
