Assets
Up to 1000 assets may be stored at any one time in the PAT4 , each with their current and previous (Historic) test results. Appropriate
asset details may be entered before or during testing. Once the asset record has been set and stored, it never needs to be re-entered.
The next time the asset is tested, only the asset ID number needs be entered or scanned, and the
PAT4 will recall the complete record
with the correct Group code and all the asset details. Testing follows automatically. This approach ensures that once set up, there is
no chance of the wrong tests being applied to the asset, as is possible with instruments that require a test code to be specified each
time that an asset is tested.
The Asset database contains the following details for each asset:
Asset ID
– a unique code number (within a particular client), upto 10 characters long. For speed this may be scanned in rather than
typed.
Group ID
– a code (upto three characters) which identifies which test group should be used when testing the asset. Once again this
code may be scanned in, if the tester has a prepared sheet with all the Group ID printed as barcodes.
Serial number
– to identify the asset precisely the serial number should be recorded – this may be scanned in too (since many assets
now have barcoded serial numbers on them). A maximum length of 15 characters is permitted.
Asset description
– a description of the asset, e.g. Manufacturer & Model. This may be scanned too – a prepared sheet with asset
descriptions in barcode form must be available. The Asset description may be 20 characters long.
Room ID – in larger organisations, it may be useful to describe the location of an asset more precisely by specifying a Room ID. The
PAT4 remembers the last Room ID specified to save typing it in repeatedly. The Room ID may be upto 10 characters long.
Retest frequency – the retest frequency is set to 12 months by default, but the user may override this to set a different frequency
between 1 and 255 months.
VA Rating – the user may optionally specify the Asset’s VA rating – often expressed in Watts. It is not permitted to enter anything
above 3000.
Fuse rating – the fuse rating may be selected from a scrolling down list – the options are: None, 1A, 2A, 3A, 5A, 10A, 13A.
