FIRST STOP SAFETY 6
MemoryPAT-Blu Issue 1.2
INTRODUCTION
The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 (EAWR) places certain requirements
on employers, designed to control risks that can arise from the use of electricity.
In practice, this means that all electrical appliances at work need to be inspected
and tested.
The MemoryPAT-Blu is a compact battery powered Portable Appliance Tester,
and can be used to test PCs, monitors, kettles, desk lights, drills, hairdryers etc.
If an appliance has a plug it can be tested on the MemoryPAT-Blu.
The clear controls and displays make this instrument very easy to use. The
instructions, labels and sample records supplied make it very easy for anyone to
undertake safety testing on all electrical appliances.
The user has only to decide whether the equipment to be tested is built to a Class
I or Class II construction. The supplied test clip is connected and the appropriate
button pressed.
All test results are saved in internal memory and can be accessed using the
Memory ◄ and ► buttons. The results can also be downloaded to a PC using
our Download Utility which is available free on our website.
Additionally the Bluetooth interface allows PAT test results to be transferred as
they are made to any Android device (e.g. tablet or mobile phone) running the
free PATRec application. PATRec allows PAT Test results to be annotated to
include for example location and appliance information. The PATRec application
is available for download from the Google Play Store.
Before any PAT Testing is carried out, it is very important to inspect the
appliance. Many faults, e.g. a wrong value fuse or a wrongly wired plug, can only
be found by careful inspection. This user manual sets out how this can be carried
out.
Also included are master forms that can be used for managing PAT Testing in
the workplace. These can be copied as many times as required.
