Socket & See IRC PRO Insulation and Continuity Tester.  £285 + vat

The Socket & See IRC PRO Insulation and Continuity Tester is an advanced digital continuity and insulation resistance tester capable of performing insulation tests at 1000V. It is also possible to perform insulation tests at 250V and 500V. The Socket & See IRC PRO Insulation and Continuity Tester is auto-ranging up to 19.99 kΩ and is equipped with the following test sequences and functions.

Insulation: The required test voltage is selected using the rotary dial. Once the TEST button is pushed, the Socket & See IRC PRO Insulation and Continuity Tester will apply this voltage to the object-under-test; the test voltage is indicated on its large, backlit, LCD display.

Continuity: The rotary dial is switched to the continuity position and the test leads are applied to the test object; the user then engages the TEST button.  To ensure accurate measurements it includes a Continuity Null feature designed to account for test lead resistance (up to 5Ω).

Buzzer Function:  The user needs only set the rotary dial to the Buzzer function and apply the test leads to the object-under-investigation. The Buzzer function is useful for identifying cables (‘belling out’) quickly and easily.

In addition to the aforementioned test functions and sequences, the Socket & See IRC PRO Insulation and Continuity Tester is equipped with a number of practical and safe features. For instance, the Socket & See IRC PRO Insulation and Continuity Tester is protected against accidental connection to a mains supply and will issue a LED and audible alert when hazardous voltages are detected.

Socket & See DLMPRO Combined Digital Multimeter, Earth Loop & Socket Tester

£286.80 inc. vat

Calibration Certificate add £25.00+ vat

The Socket & See DLMPRO Combined Digital Multimeter, Loop & Socket Tester is an all-in-one device with an inbuilt multimeter, combining every electrical safety check a gas and domestic appliance engineer will require in accordance with the HSE Engineering Information Sheet Number 35*. The DLMPRO is capable of measuring AC and DV voltage up to 500V, accurate socket wiring tests and non-trip earth fault loop testing between 195V and 253V.

AC voltage is measured at frequencies between 40 to 200Hz, however if the DLMPRO detects less than 50VAC a low impedance is automatically introduced to suppress ghost voltages without the need to change functions. Continuity is measured from 0.1 to 2MΩ, but for measurements under 2Ω the DLMPRO will give an audible steady tone. An auto null feature ensures readings are reliable and unaffected by test lead resistance.

The safety features included as standard in the DLMPRO are both impressive and user friendly, with each function designed to make electrical checks easier and safer for  gas and domestic appliance engineers. Audible and visible alarms are employed to alert the operator to accidental user error such as connecting to the AC supply when measuring DC voltage. Whenever a fault occurs the LCD screen of the DLMPRO lights up red and the tester is also fully protected against accidental mains connection. If connected to a dangerous voltage, an LED lights up regardless of which function is currently selected. In addition the Earth fault loop tests are accompanied by a written GOOD, CHECK or FAIL indication.

Switching between the DLMPRO’s numerous functions is made easy by the tactile single dial interface which utilises a colour-coded selection system. A robust design, this simple and friendly tester has an LCD screen and includes a magnetic strap for hands free functionality. The DLMPRO has a CAT III 300V rating and comes with a 2 year warranty.

The DLMPRO comes with a SS130 Socket Adaptor for efficient, risk free socket testing.

Martindale NC4 Dual Sensitivity Non-contact Voltage Tester.   £24.95

The NC4 voltage tester has two sensitivity ranges for accurately detecting the presence of AC voltages. The first will detect voltages between 50V and 1000V and the second will indicate voltages between 12V and 1000V. Sensitivity can be set according to the application and when in high sensitivity mode the LED pulse double flashes.

The extended probe tip gives improved access and easier identification of live wiring. It indicates voltage by illuminating the clear tip section with a bright red LED and sounding a buzzer.

The pen-shaped design with clip makes it ideal for carrying in a pocket or tool belt when working at height or in difficult to access locations. There is a useful LED torch which illuminates the area directly in front of the tip. Auto power off and a recessed on button ensure a long battery lifetime and the NC4 functionality also includes low battery indication.
