Emona Instruments PAC3760 DL test and tag print kit

The PAC3760 DL tester stores test results that download to any PC spreadsheet or database program. No special software is required to generate an electronic logbook to replace the handwritten logbooks.

The PAC3760DL appliance test and tag print kit also connects to the battery-powered PAC-OPT printer to print test tags. The printer’s ‘Plug N Print’ operation simply requires connection to the PAC3760 DL via serial cable. No time-consuming set-up is required as the printer prints a generic test tag.

The tester is based on the PAC3760 series of portable appliance testers used in testing and tagging Australia-wide for over 12 years. The DL’s data logging and tag printing version builds on the range’s popular features.

The tester conducts earth bond, insulation and polarity tests, as well as leakage current tests for Class I and Class II appliances and leads, and carries out trip time tests of 10 mA and 30 mA portable and fixed RCDs with the in-built isolation transformer. When used in conjunction with the optional PAC-TPL three-phase adaptor, the tester can also carry out three-phase leakage testing of 10 A, 16 A, 20 A and 32 A three-phase appliances. It operates under mains or battery power.

The unit is designed with simple 9-button operation: Class I, Class II, Leakage, 10 mA RCD, 30 mA RCD and three-phase test buttons; as well as a button to save results, recall/download results and print test tag. Results are displayed as a pass or fail as well as actual readings. Once the user selects the required test, the tester conducts an automatic sequence of tests, eliminating the need for complicated on-screen menus. Other features include automatic sensing of IEC or extension leads which adds a polarity test to the sequence and automatic detection of whether the appliance is switched ‘on’.
