Seaward Apollo 600+ PAT Tester - New 5th Edition

The Seaward Apollo 600+ 5th Edition PAT Tester has been optimised for maintaining compliance with the IET 5^th Edition Code of Practice and performing health and safety checks, making it the most sophisticated PAT tester in Seaward’s Apollo+ range. As such, the Seaward Apollo 600+ PAT Tester includes a number of features and capabilities not found on the Apollo 400+ or the Apollo 500+, including:

• A colour camera with flash: this integrated digital camera allows the user to take images which serve as evidence of visual inspections. Using the compatible Seaward PAT Guard 3.4 Software (see below) these images may be tagged against the record pertaining to the appliance. In addition to this photographs (up to 2000) may be stored on the PAT tester itself.
• A universal risk assessment tool: this tool is built into the Apollo 600+ and facilitates the unit’s ability to record hazards, calculate risk scores and plan and document corrective actions.
• Onboard reports for fire detection and emergency lighting: these report templates make the Seaward Apollo 600+ PAT Tester ideal for health and safety management applications.

The Seaward Apollo 600+ PAT Tester also includes the most extensive memory of all the models in this series. It is able to hold up to 50 000 appliance records and 2000 images, ensuring complete traceability. Furthermore, these results may be transferred straight to a USB flash drive, a capability that is unique to the Apollo 600+. However, like the other models, this instrument can also send information to a PC through a USB cable or to an Android device via Bluetooth.

Like the Apollo 400+ and 500+, the Apollo 600+ is able to conduct the following tests:

• Low current earth continuity test (with Zap circuit) guaranteeing accurate measurements
• Insulation resistance
• IEC lead test
• Protective conductor current
• Touch current
• Load power/current
• Alternative leakage current
• RCD test
• Power Socket Test
• Point to point fixed appliance testing for earth continuity and insulation resistance
• Class 2 FE (5th edition update) 

Furthermore, this model also includes a risk-based retest period calculator allowing the user to ascertain when an appliance should next be tested according to the IET 5^th Edition Code of Practice. Moreover, the user can create up to 100 customised electrical test and visual inspection sequences.

The Seaward Apollo 600+ PAT Tester is an updated version of the Seaward Apollo 600 PAT Tester and as such features improvements to its hardware, firmware and software compatibility. Please see the video below for an overview of the Seaward Apollo 600+ PAT Tester. 

Software Compatibility

The results gathered by the Seaward Apollo 600+ PAT Tester may be analysed and organised into reports using the compatible Seaward PAT Guard 3.4 Software (sold separately). This software includes Time Manager which has been designed to assist the user with managing a team of workers.

In addition to this, the Seaward Apollo 600+ PAT Tester is also compatible with QR scanners and printers (more information below), as well as Bluetooth.

Firmware

Read and print 2D QR data codes containing information such as the asset ID, the site, the location, the last test date and the next test date.

To accommodate these capabilities the Seaward Apollo 600+ PAT Tester must be used with the following OPTIONAL accessories:

• Seaward Test ‘n’ Tag Elite 2 Printer – used to print labels containing QR data codes.
• Seaward Bluetooth 2D Elite Barcode Scanner – facilitates quick retesting using the Apollo 600+. Scan QR codes in order to determine previous test information; these details are automatically used to populate the relevant fields in the Apollo 600+’s test setup.
• FREE Seaward QR Data Viewer App – scan QR codes and send information via email.

The Seaward Apollo 600+ PAT Tester also includes the following:

• User permissions for Bluetooth
• An option to delete unwanted results
• ‘View Data Menu’ is equipped with a more advanced search function able to filter results according to a variety of specifications, including the PASS/ FAIL status of each test. It has also been designed to scroll more quickly.
• ‘After Test’ function has been expanded to include an option for the automated printing of test results
• ‘Worst’ and ‘Last’ result options have been added to the leakage test settings
• Predictive drop-down lists can be tailored to the user’s needs by deleting unnecessary options
• Download information to an Android device using USB on-the-go technology
• Downloaded files can be named using unique identifiers, ensuring that they are easier to find
• The newly added socket outlet test allows the user to measure main voltage and outlet wiring polarity
• Asset ID is displayed on all test screens
• Addition of a Review Step allows the user to check test information before adding any final comments
• 2020 5th Edition update includes a brand-new set of test sequences including Class 2 FE and other new tests as per the 5th Edition

The new 5th Edition firmware will also be available to download free of charge for current Apollo users who will be able to update to the new firmware and benefit from the new test features.

Note: in existing Apollos touch current tests will be limited by the hardware to 3.5mA.

Hardware

The design of the Seaward Apollo 600+ PAT Tester has been updated to improve the practicality and efficiency of the instrument. To this end, it includes tests leads featuring stronger PVC insulation and robust probes, ensuring that the Seaward Apollo 600+ PAT Tester is suitable for more demanding applications.

In addition to this, the Apollo 600+ can be powered both by a battery and mains power. The battery pack supplied with this unit is removable, interchangeable and rechargeable, ensuring that downtime is kept to a minimum.

Like its predecessor, the Apollo 600, the Seaward Apollo 600+ PAT Tester features a colour, high-definition display and QWERTY keyboard, maintaining its ease-of-use. 

The 2020 5th edition hardware update also allows for the increase in protective and touch leakage limits to 5mA rather than 3.5m.A.

The Seaward Apollo 600+ PAT Tester is a versatile, adaptable and practical plug-and-play PAT tester, optimised for testing high volumes of appliances and conducting health and safety inspections.
