GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This miniPAT is a simplified version of a standard PAT tester
that uses low voltage to perform all of its testing function.
The miniPAT is also suitable for use on IT equipment.
The miniPAT is not intended to be used to perform high
volume or certification-type testing where readings are
required. It has been designed to be simple to use, but still
has all the necessary basic functions to check a normal
appliance.
The miniPAT gives indication of an appliance's safety and
allows users to decide if appliance or cables are OK to use.
It is also useful for checking correct operation in the time
period between annual PAT testing.
It can also be used to quickly give indication if an appliance
has insulation or earth fault.
The miniPAT give an indication that the insulation resistance
is acceptable. If this is not the case, the L-E or N-E LED light
will illuminate red, showing a likely insulation fault.
If the insulation and earth bond of the appliance are correct
the overall result LEDs will illuminate green.
Overall Result
The unit has an overall result indicator depending upon
which Class of appliance is being tested.
Class I appliances ‒ must be green.
Class II appliances ‒ must be green.
