Multifunction tester

Nu-Era Lighting’s facility in Essex, is using four HAL 104s on its two production lines to test upwards of 1,500 units manufactured each week before distribution to electrical wholesalers.

The HAL 104 performs a range of safety tests during production, including earth bonding at 10A, DC insulation resistance at 500VDC and checking for power leakage, to ensure compliance with EN 60598 and guarantee product quality, performance and reliability. Function testing is also undertaken.

Technical manager Olly Mansell said: “The HAL 104 is a brilliant piece of kit, providing fast, accurate and extremely reliable testing. “It provides us with the confidence and peace-of-mind knowing that every unit leaving the factory for the customer is 100% safe-to-use and works properly.”
