All aboard for handy tester

Martindale Electric has donated a
HandyPAT 500 PAT tester to the
Southwark Sea Cadets.

Each individual Sea Cadet Unit is
an independent charity, which must
adhere to all aspects of health and
safety including portable appliance
testing. With this mind, Martindale
Electric donated a HandyPAT 500,
which has been designed to perform
safety checks in accordance with the
IEE Code of Practice (Third Edition).

The HandyPAT 500 can be used
for Class 1, Class 2 and power lead
tests, insulation tests and 500V plus
fuse tests and a 200mA DC
continuity test, meaning Southwark
Sea Cadets can now be sure that all
equipment used in the Unit HQ is
safe to use.

The tester has been designed to
withstand tough handling and comes
with its own case and rechargeable
batteries.
