“IF THERE IS... A NEW TEST, LIKE ELECTRICAL VEHICLE SUPPLY EQUIPMENT (EVSE) TESTING, YOU CAN UPDATE THE FIRMWARE FOR FREE.”
DOTS MAKE TESTING EASIER A multi-function tester is a staple piece of kit for any electrician but Metrel’s multi-function testers are a bit different. Brendan Beaver, manager of Metrel in SW London, explains why.
ADAPTABLE
Metrel’s multi-function testers are based on dot matrix screen technology, like your smartphone, rather than using liquid crystal screens. This makes them more adaptable and updateable.
EVSE TESTING
Of course the testers deliver all the normal electrical tests you need, like non-tripping loop tests in a good repeatable fashion. But if the testing requirements change or there is an improved measurement method, for example the introduction of a new test, like Electrical Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) testing, you can update the firmware via the internet yourself for FREE.

MULTI-FUNCTIONAL
We believe that your tester should be truly multi-functional and be at the centre of your business, allowing you to certify your work quickly and simply, helping out when you need a quick reminder how to make the connections, and offering more, like SPD testing, lux measurement, cable tracing and power quality. All this and more is available on the MI3152XC full colour touch screen tester now.
AFFORDABLE
If your pockets are not that deep yet, take a look at the MI3125BT or the MI3100SE, a more conventional looking MFT but with a big heart. They are both rechargeable, monochrome testers, but offer help screens and internet updating ability, so you’ll never be forced to buy another tester to keep up.
