5080 / 6080 / 6080PLUS PAT Operation Guide
Safety and Warnings
1: For operator safety please read this manual before using the PAT.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Even though the PATs are battery powered it must be understood that
dangerous voltages are present on the mains sockets when testing. Appliances
which have damaged cables etc. must be failed on the ‘visual test’, which will
prevent the PAT from proceeding to the tests which apply high voltages.
2: Only a competent person with an understanding of PAT testing should use the
Transmille range of PATs.
3: The calibration and servicing of the PATs must only be carried out by an Authorised agent,
appointed by Transmille Ltd. Unauthorised servicing will invalidate the warranty.
4: The 5080, 6080 & 6080PLUS comply with the safety standard IEC 1010. When using the PATs the
operator must take all necessary safety precautions to ensure that there is no risk of shock when
testing an appliance. If in doubt about how to safely perform an electrical safety test then advice
must be taken before proceeding.
5: Safety markings on the front Panel.
This warning indicates high voltages may be present on the socket(s) of the
tester and suitable precautions should be taken.
This marking indicates that the socket(s) on the PAT should only be used for
appliance testing in accordance with manufacturer guidelines.
General Description of 5080, 6080 & 6080PLUS Portable Appliance Testers
Transmille PAT testers offer an easy to use solution for the testing of electrical safety of both
Class 1 and Class 2 appliances.
Both models share the same main features of being both easy to use, very portable and battery powered.
The results are displayed both graphically on an easy to read LED bar graph and digitally on a LCD display. The
pass/fail limits are scaled automatically from a stored table in the memory based on the type of test (Class 1 or
2) the earth bond current used & the lead length selected.
An optional software package from Transmille allows the PAT to be set to save the results of the tests
to the PATs internal memory under the label ID number. The results can then easily be downloaded
from the PAT by the software to the PC for printing and long term storage.
By selecting ‘new location’ on the PAT menu or noting the first and last Label ID number used at each location
the address for each site tested can be easily entered on the PC back in the office. Reports for different
customers/locations can then be viewed and printed as required
Note : The following applies to 5080/6080 Only
The ‘appliance’ menu and ‘visual check’ test are inhibited when the PAT memory
function is disabled - the appliance list alone can be enabled from the PAT set-up menu.
