Martindale Instruments

Martindale was founded in 1928 and has been manufacturing test equipment continuously since that time. As an approved stockist of Martindale Electric, Glanford Electronics Ltd can supply, repair and calibrate Martindale's range of test equipment. We would be pleased to give advice on which test equipment would suit your needs.

A new addition to the hand-held PAT range, the battery powered HPAT500 is ideal for use where there is no convenient power socket. It's easy to use and reliable, with a simple one button, one test sequence selection, displays measured values as well as a "pass" or "fail" decision.
Each HPAT500 is supplied with earth bond probe & croc clip, rechargeable NiMH batteries, mains battery charger, extension lead adaptor, soft carry case and instruction manual.

A connection diagram is shown in this handbook and on the label on the unit. When the test type is selected, the HPAT500 will run automatically through the test sequence without any further user interaction unless a failure is encountered. Pass or Fail outcome is displayed alongside measured value.
