SAFETY

Symbols used on the instrument.

Caution: Refer to accompanying notes Risk of electric shock.

Equipment complies with relevant EU Directive

SAFETY WARNINGS

•Safety Warnings and Precautions must be read and understood before the instrument is used. They must be observed during use.

•For safety, PAT4 must be properly earthed. Only use a supply socket that has a protective earth contact. If there is any doubt as to

the effectiveness of the supply socket earth, connect a known good earth to the earthing point on the PAT4 front panel.

•Test leads, probes and crocodile clips must be in good order, clean and with no broken or cracked insulation. The flash test probe must

be held behind the handguard, and only be connected to the PAT4 for the duration of the test.

•For safety, tests are performed in the correct order. If an asset (appliance) fails a test, PAT4 will fail the asset and exit the test sequence.

The fault causing the failure must be corrected before the appliance is re-tested.

•During testing, ensure that no hazard will exist if the asset operates as a result of normal running, or of a fault condition.

•Assets should not be routinely flash tested.

•Where assets have to be flash tested, see ‘Flash Testing – Warnings’ on page 11.

•When performing an Insulation test the asset must not be touched.

•Only perform an Operation test after an Earth Bond Test (Class 1 only) and Insulation Test (Class 1 or Class 2) have been verified.

•The instrument should not be used if any part of it is damaged.

•Replacement fuses must be of the correct type and rating. See ‘Fuses’ section.

NOTE: THE INSTRUMENT MUST ONLY BE USED BY SUITABLY TRAINED AND COMPETENT PERSON

The PAT4 Portable Appliance Testers provide significant

advances in the ease of use, with features designed to speed up

the testing of electrical equipment. The instruments meet the

testing requirements of the UK Electricity at Work Regulations

and the IEE Code of Practice for In Service Inspection and

Testing of Electrical Equipment. The instruments may be used

stand alone, or for maximum advantage, with PC based

software, such as XPressTM software for WindowsTM (See

Accessories). The integral real time clock ‘stamps’ an accurate

time and date on every test. PAT4 utilises a unique concept

known as Test Groups. This permits very rapid addition and

testing of equipment with a minimum of data entry. Once set up,

the use of Test Groups will save a great deal of time. Additionally,

Test Groups ensure that only the correct tests can be applied to

the equipment under test and eliminate the need for complex test

codes.

PAT4 provides a professional system for the rapid testing of

equipment while maintaining the essential traceability of asset

test history. The on-board Asset (Appliance) database keeps a

record of appliance details, re-test frequency, test and re-test

dates, and allows the previous test results to be displayed at the

time of test. As well as the easy to use QWERTY keyboard, each

field is named, so there is less chance of entering the wrong

information. Data entry via optional bar code scanners is also

possible. The lithium backed ‘real time’ clock maintains the time

and date accurately for over ten years and automatically date

and time stamps every asset tested. Data is stored in battery

backed, solid state memory that under normal circumstances will

be protected for ten years. Such storage media is however

susceptible to external influences such as transients and static

discharge. These effects may cause data corruption or loss.

Megger Limited cannot accept responsibility for any such losses

of data. When the PAT4 is used with PC software such as

XPressTM software, employing good working practices, such as

the regular downloading of data will substantially reduce the risk.

The following information can be stored and accessed directly on

the PAT4.

•Assets (Appliances) - total number 1000

•Locations (Site details) 20

•Results (sets of) 1000

•Test Groups 50

•Clients (names and addresses) 10

•Users 10

The instruments can perform the following tests:

•Visual Inspection list

•Insulation test

•Fuse Test

•Operation test.

•Circuit test (pre-test)

•Earth leakage test.

•Earth Bond test

•Extension Lead test.

•Earth Continuity test

•Flash test (PAT4 DVF only).

Due to the often harsh electrical environments in which Portable

Appliance Testers are used and the likelihood of testing faulty

equipment all Megger Portable Appliance Testers are protected

by appropriate internal fuses. This ensures that the instrument is

protected from serious damage.

General Description

An unfortunate downside to using internal protection fuses is that

the PAT4 can be rendered inoperative simply by the failure of

such a fuse resulting in frustration and delay for the user. In order

to ensure that the instrument can quickly be put back into service

without downgrading its protection externally located fuses are

now fitted to all new PAT4 models. These may be changed

quickly and simply by the user in the event of a failure. For

maximum convenience all fuses are of the same value.

Additionally the PAT4 display will now indicate which fuse has

failed, unless of course it is main supply fuse in which case the

screen will be blank.

Replacement of Fuses

Always disconnect the PAT4 from the main supply before

checking fuses. Use correct replacement fuses as printed

adjacent to the fuse

Megger Part No. for replacement fuses 25950-014

Using your PAT4

Connecting to the Power supply

Plug the PAT4 into a standard 230 V supply for testing 230V

appliances or into a 110V supply for testing 110V appliances. A

110V ‘site’ or ‘tool’ transformer may be used.

On connecting to the supply, the PAT4 performs a rapid self-test

and calibration sequence. If the screen is dim, refer to Contrast

adjust.

* For 230 V 60Hz operation see note on Earth Leakage, page 45
