Martindale Electric has unveiled its new ET6500 Advanced Multifunction Installation Tester. Designed to set a new standard for electrical testing, and replacing the existing ET4500, the user-friendly ET6500 aims to meet the needs of electricians and contractors now and into the future.
Everything about the ET6500 has been designed to save time and make testing easier, Martindale states. It has a high-quality colour TFT display that can present multiple results simultaneously on screen, and its context-sensitive help menus – accessible at the touch of a button – make it simple to navigate even the most complex tests. The ET6500 covers all the critical measurements needed to verify the safety of electrical installations to 18th Edition Wiring Regulations, including high-current and non-trip earth loop impedance testing and Auto RCD testing.
The ET6500 is also EV ready. Supplied with the Martindale TL305EV adapter, the tester provides seamless connection to EVSE charging points (Type-2 connectors) and supports all key measurements for EV installations, including:
• Voltage measurement and phase rotation
• Various RCD tests and measurements
• Insulation resistance
• Low ohm measurements
• Line and loop impedances
For earth testing, the ET6500 is totally flexible, supporting both 3-wire and 4-wire tests using the optional ER2KIT/S (3-wire) and ER4KIT/S (4-wire) kits. The tester also has an onboard memory capable of storing up to 1,000 test results which can be quickly downloaded in Excel format via a free utility program available on Martindale’s website.
With its advanced capabilities, durable construction and ease of use, Martindale believes that the ET6500 is set to become an essential tool for professionals looking to future-proof their testing capabilities.
