The versatile HAL 103 multi-function safety tester from Clare enables engineers to move quickly from site-to-site undertaking three important electrical safety tests using a single portable instrument.
The unit meets the requirements of demanding production line testing, performing the complete suite of standard electrical safety tests and allowing full traceability of test results and records via internal data memory storage. The tester performs earth bond, AC/DC hi pot (flash) and insulation testing to ensure the compatibility of Class II electrical products with technical and performance standards.
Tests can be applied individually or in set automatic sequences for repetitive multi-test routines. Test specifications can be quickly configured into the tester by scanning in pre-defined bar codes making the equipment ideal for ISO traceable systems in QA, conformance and production line applications. These pre-defined bar codes can be generated directly from the tester on adhesive labels or from proprietary Microsoft PC applications.
The HAL 103 has selectable 50 or 60 Hz output frequencies for flash testing and incorporates a 40 A constant current low voltage ground bond test. Other features include a large high contrast bar graph display of the mW value from 0 to 1000 and of the programmed output current in Amps.
Specialist software and a large capacity internal database capable of storing up to 6000 records gives the test instrument the ability to store test details and results against individual equipment serial numbers. Test reports can be downloaded directly to a PC or printer for the generation of complete test data records.
The instrument is fully compatible with the requirements of the EN 50191 standard on test environments.
