Should any faults develop on the SmartPAT 5500, the equipment is to be returned to ROBIN. There are
no user facilities to repair the test set, due to the technical nature of the equipment. In the event of a
fault developing return the equipment to the Service Department at the following address:

Calibration
To ensure the accuracy of the equipment is maintained at a high level, it is recommended that the Portable
Appliance Tester be returned to the above address for calibration at least once every 12 months. If the
results at any time give rise to doubt the equipment should be returned straight away for safety reasons.
Always state clearly what the reason for return is
Basic Maintenance
The SmartPAT 5500 test set has a fused moulded mains plug fitted. The only user maintenance on this is
the changing of the fuse. However if the plug is damaged then the moulded plug must be cut off and a
new 3 pin fused plug fitted by a qualified electrician
GENERAL ENQUIRES
Robin Electronics operate a technical helpline to assist customers in the use of Robin products. A
selection of the most common enquires received regarding portable appliance testing together with the
answers are given below:
My PN fuse test fails?
The objective of this test is to check to see if the appliance fuse is fitted. An appliance will fail the fuse
test if the fuse is not fitted or has failed. Some appliances are electronically controlled, i.e. they may have
semi-conductor devices in the supply path. This will give a high input resistance to the appliance and may
cause the equipment to fail the test. When a fail is shown on the tester pressing GO will assign a pass to
the fuse test.This must only be done after the fuse is checked manually.
How do I program an auto test ?
Refer to the Programming mode section of this manual. Simply step through the test sequence as detailed
and define your own specific auto test as required. The factory setting for the access code is 9999.
How do I skip a test ?
To skip a specific test, you can either test manually or programme a new test in the auto mode. If you
want to programme a new test refer to the Programming mode section of this manual. Go into auto
mode, set a new test sequence and define a new test code for the specific sequence. Omit any particular
test you do not wish to be included in the auto sequence as detailed in the manual.
