Seaward Apollo 500+ PAT Tester - 5th Edition Compliant

The Seaward Apollo 500 Plus PAT Tester is designed to provide simple, professional rapid testing and is the ideal solution to high-volume testing needs. A 'plug and play' style instrument with advanced data transfer capabilities, enhanced storage features and fully equipped with a comprehensive array of electrical tests. The 500+ model even includes an incorporated risk assessment tool for determining a risk-based suggested retest period.

Updated to be fully compliant with the 5th edition of the IET Code of Practice, the Apollo 500+ includes functions such as:

  • Pass/Fail limit of 5mA for all protective & touch leakage tests in line with 5th edition
  • New Test sequence for Class 2 FE equipment

The Seaward Apollo 500+ is an intuitive downloading PAT Testing device from Seaward that combines ease of use with a wide selection of high specification features. Built with demanding PAT Testers in mind, it is designed to speed up general testing on 230V, 110V appliances and IT equipment. An extensive firmware update allows the tester to offer an improved interface, QR capability and it now comes with an external battery pack. The Seaward Apollo 500+ PAT Tester is a fast innovative Tester for users looking for versatility combined with simplicity.

The Seaward Apollo 500+ PAT Tester boasts several updates from the previous Apollo 500. Firstly, the tester is capable of producing QR-coded PAT labels via a Seaward Test n Tag Elite 2 Printer and also reading them via a Seaward scanner. The QR-coded labels can be read via the end user’s smartphone so the customer has ready access to test data. Improved firmware brings a better interface and a database search function, whilst an external battery pack allows the user to swap batteries in the field minimising downtime.

Improving upon an already excellent menu system, the Seaward Apollo 500 Plus allows the user to easily navigate to mains powered tests such as Touch Current, Earth Leakage or RCD Trip Time tests. The tester is even versatile enough to test 3 phase equipment and perform point to point testing on fixed appliances. Along with performing battery powered tests the Apollo 500+ can be plugged into the mains ensuring there is no down time while on large jobs.

Compact, lightweight and extremely portable, the Apollo 500+ is downloadable so you don't have to be continuously writing PAT certificates during your working day. The Apollo 500+ can fit comfortably within the user’s hands allowing for one handed testing which can now be performed with ease. Despite the small size the tester comes complete with a full QWERTY keypad featuring five recognisable function buttons and a large high definition colour display. The bright backlit display will benefit anyone who wishes to regularly perform and track complex tests in their entirety.

The Seaward Apollo 500+ PAT Tester ensures users can now comply with the latest edition of the IET Code of Practice 5th Edition and the guidelines introduced by HSE (Health and Safety Executive).

Risk Assessment Tool

As market leaders Seaward have introduced a Risk based assessment tool to further improve the Apollo 500+ and the PAT Testing process as a whole. The tool is based on the latest IET Code of Practice which allows users to calculate individual re-test dates based on the risk associated with using each appliance. This pioneering feature provides users with the means to accurately schedule and manage the electrical safety procedures within their workplace. This not only prevents unnecessary tasks taking up operator time, it also prevents overzealous testing.

Detailed Record Keeping & Data Transfer Capabilities

Seaward have combined unique design with functionality by incorporating a massive memory capable of storing 10,000 results along with USB, Bluetooth download and upload compatibility. The tester is designed to be used with Seaward PATGuard 3 software which allows a user to keep track of test history and produce PAT certificates and detailed risk assessment reports. PATGuard 3 is now compatible with PC, tablets and Smartphones.

A full firmware update has improved the user interface by enabling quicker navigation through saved results and introducing a search function. It also enables the customisation of user access levels through the password-protected user account system. The Seaward Apollo 500+ PAT Tester has several recommended accessories including the Seaward Bluetooth Test and Tag Elite Printer and Seaward Bluetooth Scanner which are available to speed up the asset labelling and the recognition process.

As the Seaward Apollo 500+ is now capable of scanning and printing QR codes, it can convey more information than a traditional 1D bar code. Asset ID, site, location, most recent test and next scheduled test date can all be scanned in an instant. The QR Data Viewer app can be installed on Android and iOS devices and this allows end users to scan labels and share information over e-mail.

Seaward Apollo 500+ PAT Testing Kits Available

The Seaward Apollo 500+ can also be purchased in a range of kits, offering you a selection of adaptors, printers and scanners, as well as subscription options for Seaward's PATGuard 3 software. For more information on the kits available, please click here.
