Seaward Group USA, the US arm of the renowned electrical safety testing provider the Seaward Group, introduces the HAL generation of electrical safety checkers. The HAL flash/hipot tester and HAL Scan multi point flash/hipot tester and scanner integrate new features to form a combined four function electrical safety tester that increases the throughput of the test process while meeting the traceability requirements of modern product approval standards.

Ideal for any ISO traceable application in quality control, conformance, or production line testing applications, the HAL family of electrical safety checkers scans in predefined bar codes for easy equipment configuration. These bar codes can be generated directly from the test equipment on adhesive labels using the Test and Tag printer or from proprietary Microsoft PC applications, where they are incorporated into live test procedure documents or manuals required as part of ISO quality systems.

A large capacity internal database and specialist software afford the HAL safety testers the ability to store test details and results against individual equipment serial numbers. Test reports can then be downloaded to a PC or printer for the production of complete test records. Additionally, the networking of test data with central management information systems allows the test station to become an important MIS data collection point. In doing so, the test system becomes proficient not only in identifying failure rates, but also in providing details of productivity levels and other information as part of quality audit trails.

The HAL family incorporates a new case design that maximizes space efficiency for bench testing, and boasts a highly intuitive user interface with programmable soft keys and a rotary switch used in association with a large graphical display. All HAL testers comply with the EN50191 safe operation of test equipment standards, and are the only product available with fully isolated test outputs, making them the safest Flash/Hipot tester in the world.
