Emona Instruments PAC3760DL Test & Tag Print Kit

Emona Instruments has released the PAC3760 DL data logging appliance tester and test tag printing kit.

The kit stores test results that can be downloaded to any PC spreadsheet or database program. No special software is required to generate an electronic logbook, which can replace handwritten logbooks. It also connects to the battery-powered PAC-OPT printer to print test tags. The printer has simple 'plug-n-print' operation with no time consuming set-up required.

Based on the popular PAC3760 series of portable appliance testers, the DL version builds on the features. It conducts earth bond, insulation and polarity tests, as well as leakage current tests for class I and class II appliances and leads, and carries out trip time tests of 10 and 30 mA portable and fixed RCDs with the in-built isolation transformer. When used in conjunction with the optional PAC-TPL 3 phase adaptor, the device can also carry out three-phase leakage testing of 10, 16, 20 and 32 A three-phase appliances. It operates under mains or battery power.

The unit is designed with simple nine-button operation: class I, class II, leakage, 10 mA RCD, 30 mA RCD and three-phase test buttons. It also includes buttons to save results, recall/download results and print test tag. Results are displayed as a pass or fail, as well as actual readings. Once the user selects the required test, the tester conducts an automatic sequence of tests, eliminating the need for complicated on-screen menus. Other features include automatic sensing of IEC or extension leads, which adds a polarity test to the sequence and automatic detection of whether the appliance is switched 'on'.

The device is suitable for testing and tagging applications requiring compliance with AS/NZS3760.
