Martindale Electric launches the EZ664 Socket Tester

Martindale Electric, a leading name in electrical testing and safety equipment, has launched the EZ664 Socket Tester. This innovative device offers flexibility and precision, meeting the demands of both professional electricians and safety inspectors across the UK.

The EZ664 Socket Tester is designed to simplify the process of verifying socket safety and wiring integrity in both domestic and commercial environments. Its dual connection capability – through either a standard 13 amp plug or flying leads – makes it an exceptionally versatile tool, ideal for testing at light fittings, fused spurs, and terminals where traditional socket testers fall short. The EZ664’s ability to connect via either a 13A plug or flying leads provides the flexibility needed to test various electrical installations, including locations where a socket tester cannot be directly plugged in, such as at light fittings or within electrical enclosures.

Equipped with two groups of tricolour LEDs, the EZ664 offers clear visual indications of wiring conditions, mains voltage levels, and earth loop impedance. This comprehensive indication system ensures that users can quickly and accurately diagnose potential issues. A standout feature of the EZ664 is its capability to measure earth loop impedance without tripping a 30mA or higher RCD, a common safety device in many installations. The tester displays the measured impedance value across six discrete levels, offering insights into the quality of the earth connection.

Safety is further enhanced by the EZ664’s alert system, which notifies users of out-of-tolerance voltage conditions through both visual (LED) and audible (buzzer) signals, ensuring that dangerous electrical conditions are not overlooked. Specifically, the device detects if the mains voltage is below 195V or above 270V, or if the neutral to earth voltage exceeds 30V. The compact and robust design of the EZ664, combined with its easy-to-read LED indicators and audible alerts, makes it a user-friendly tool that enhances safety and efficiency on the job.

The EZ664 is a versatile tool designed for a wide range of applications. Its dual connection capability makes it effective in situations where traditional socket testers may not be applicable. The ability to measure earth loop impedance without causing disruptions to the circuit makes the EZ664 an invaluable tool for indicating  the quality of the earth without compromising the operational continuity of the installation.

Each Martindale EZ664 Socket Tester package includes the EZ664 Advanced Socket Tester, a TL207 Test Lead Adapter that converts a 13A plug to three 4mm jacks for easy connection to the tester, and a TL36 Test Lead, which is a 3-way flying lead with crocodile clips for secure connections at terminals and other non-standard test points. Also included is a comprehensive instruction manual that provides guidance on using the tester effectively and safely, as well as a soft carry case to ensure that the EZ664 and its accessories are easily transportable and protected from damage during transit.
