Martindale Electric, a leader in electrical testing and safety equipment, has announced the launch of the ET6000 Series Multifunction Installation Testers, a state-of-the-art range designed to meet the needs of modern electricians. This new series, which includes the ET6000, ET6300, and ET6500 models, represents the latest advancement in installation testing technology, delivering accuracy, reliability, and user-friendly features that comply with the 18th Edition Wiring Regulations.
The ET6000 Series is built on the success of Martindale’s previous ET4000 series but takes functionality and ease of use to new heights. Each model in the series is designed to perform all the critical measurements required for verifying the electrical safety of installations, including high-current and non-trip earth loop impedance testing, voltage measurement, phase sequence indication, and Auto RCD testing.
All models in the series boast a high level of input protection with a CAT IV safety rating, ensuring that users are protected when working in challenging environments. This range of testers is engineered for durability and precision, making them indispensable tools for both routine and complex testing scenarios.
One of the standout features of the ET6000 Series is the high-quality, full-colour TFT display, which provides clear, easy-to-read results and connection information. The intuitive interface is enhanced by multiple help screens that guide users through the testing process, displaying easy-to-read test connection diagrams that simplify even the most complex tests.
Each model in the ET6000 Series is designed for ease of use, with a “Test and Go” carry case that allows the tester to remain in the case during operation. This feature is designed to save time and protect the instrument while on the job, making it an ideal choice for electricians who need a reliable, portable solution for installation testing.
While all models in the ET6000 Series share a robust feature set, each is tailored to different user needs, providing scalable solutions for various testing requirements.
- ET6000: The entry-level model in the series is perfect for electricians looking for a reliable installation tester that covers all essential functions required by the 18th Edition Wiring Regulations.
- ET6300: The ET6300 is an enhanced model that is EV-ready, making it future-proof for electricians who may need to test electric vehicle (EV) charger points. It comes with an expanded test capability, including low-current continuity tests and multiple RCD test options. The expanded accessory set includes stackable leads, the TL180 slimline test probe, and a mains charger with rechargeable batteries. Additionally, the ET6300 can be upgraded at any time with the Martindale TL305EV adapter to enable EV testing capability.
- ET6500: As the flagship model in the series, the ET6500 offers advanced features such as onboard memory for storing and downloading test results. This model is also equipped for comprehensive earth testing with built-in functionality for three-wire or four-wire earth resistance testing, which can be performed using optional Earth Spike Kits. The ET6500 is ideal for electricians who require a more sophisticated testing solution with data management capabilities. It includes all the accessories of the ET6300, along with the TL305EV Electric vehicle charge point adapter and the ability to download test results via “MFT Records” software, allowing for seamless integration into Excel for further analysis
The ET6000 Series Multifunction Installation Testers are designed not just to meet the current needs of electricians but to anticipate future demands. With the increasing prevalence of electric vehicles and the corresponding need for EV charger testing, the ET6300 and ET6500 models offer a clear upgrade path, ensuring that users can adapt to the evolving landscape of electrical installations.
Moreover, the ET6500’s data storage and download capabilities address the growing need for digital record-keeping and compliance reporting, making it easier for electricians to maintain accurate records and streamline their workflow.
Martindale Electric also offers a range of accessories to complement the ET6000 Series, ensuring that electricians have everything they need for comprehensive testing. For example, the TL78 (50m) and TL77 (30m) continuity leads are ideal for measuring earth bond continuity and R2 measurements via the long-lead method. The SB13 Safebreak socket adapter speeds up R2 and R1 + R2 measurements by allowing connection to socket outlets without removing the socket from the wall.
For proving voltage measurement up to 440V, the Martindale PD440SRDX Proving Unit with CALCHECK is an excellent companion tool. The CALCHECK function also verifies insulation and low resistance ranges on multifunction testers between calibrations, adding an extra layer of reliability for fieldwork.
